Mama mia that’s a spicy meatball.
We need meat. Practice the vegan religion for yourself but not on the kid.

Well then do you think parents should have to d=feed their children at all????

Feeding a vegan diet to a child (particularly a baby ) is depriving them of essential nutrients and proteins that are needed to sustain life and promote growth

They need foods that are fortified and vitamin supplements but as long as the crucial nutrients are replaced with the right plant foods, or a supplement, then I think it is safe for a child to go vegan.

I’ve been a vegetarian for almost 45 years. Porchetta looks like a good reason to change. Especially the porchetta sammiches with the fresh, almost-burnt bread. Wow! Like a bacon jelly-roll.

PING...or should I say RINTRACCIARE?

Not torn.

It’s their right to eat and to raise children as they see fit (as long as it doesn’t violate natural rights).

Don’t like vegetarian, but it’s not my business.

[Nifster]

Actually it isn’t

[firebrand]

Good for Italy! I hear you can go to prison for putting cheese on fish.

So everyone who isn’t vegan is a jihadist?

"I just find it absurd that some parents are allowed to impose their will on children in an almost fanatical, religious way, often without proper scientific knowledge or medical consultation," she said.

Um, this is considered the "conservative" party? Sheesh
