It would seem that plant-based diets are the current rage all over the world, but is being a vegetarian or vegan a healthy way of life for your child?From McDonald’s in Norway releasing a vegan burger, Col'cacchio here in South Africa offering vegan pizzas and desserts, and the general call for a healthier and more ethical society, veganism is not only here to stay, but is one of the fastest-growing lifestyles in the world.
