    I take issue with how you’re using “until they’re able to” here. No age was mentioned, it really sounds like you’re implying that they’re not able to make decisions until they agree with yours.

    Also not being vegan is not a decision that is going to harm them long-term. Seems like a perfectly reasonable choice to let them make at any point in their life.

      Well, vegans have 25% lower risk of CVD and 20% lower incidence of cancer so not being vegan would harm them long term. But not really about that, I take issue how you’re framing this as a personal choice. Think you’re forgetting about someone.

      Contributing to animal suffering is a choice I hope they never make just like any other violent act. Just like they won’t be sat down at puberty and told they’re now old enough to decide if they want to rape or not, exploiting animals won’t be presented as a neutral choice either.
