Feed the Future: Help Kids Learn about Veganism
It’s said that humans learn a new language best when they’re young, still able to absorb information without layered societal filtering and distractions. So, why not help explain to young people the concept of veganism before society fully takes over, often guiding their brains to the conventional S.A.D. (standard American diet) with every advertisement available?

It’s said that humans learn a new language best when they’re young, still able to absorb information without layered societal filtering and distractions. So, why not help explain to young people the concept of veganism before society fully takes over, often guiding their brains to the conventional S.A.D. (standard American diet) with every advertisement available?

Consider volunteering at a local school and bring along a book about loving animals. The message doesn’t need to outright be “become vegan, please!” but it could instead be a book about loving animals that could help to create a seed in the minds about perhaps not eating the creatures we love. Here’s a great list to consider: 10 Great Books for Vegan Kids. While there is no need to invoke fear or be graphic or forceful with vegan beliefs children if they do ask about eating animals, you could have ready responses such as “I am vegan, which means I don’t eat animal products. I do this because I love animals so much and just could never hurt them, especially when there are so many other yummy things to eat.” Just leave it at that, unless the children want more information and you speak with their parents first about engaging the conversation further.

Another idea would be to volunteer with a local children’s organization or after-school program as a “guest speaker.” Many programs love having new faces, and you could lead a “animal-free” baking or cooking class or series. If the children ask about eating animals, consider the same type of response as listed above.

While these actions may not invoke immediate change, as children are at the will of their parents, who may or may not buy into the idea of transitioning to a vegan diet, you may help “plant a seed” for consideration for when the child grows and is able to control his or her own eating decisions. How many times have you heard someone say “Well, I always thought about being vegan because I heard (or saw) something when I was younger, and I’m now finally taking action”? You can help start that evolution in a young person today!
