Mayim Bialik Lucky To Have Vegan Pediatrician
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 7th, 2011 in Actresses, Children, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
When Mayim Bialik takes her little one for a check-up, runny nose or prescription refill, she’ll never have to worry about doc giving her a lecture on proteins, soy products giving him male breasts, the kid’s growth being stunted or any of the other naysaying arguments those in the medical profession who are uneducated about veg diets and children give.
Mayim’s pediatrician for her children happens to be a vegan.
“Fortunately, our pediatrician is vegan, and that’s so incredibly important,” Bialik told VegNews in the April 2011 issue.
“Not only for my son to have a vegan diet reinforced at our check-ups but also to have a pediatrician who’s a nutritionist, whom we can actually go to with my mother-in-law’s questions.”
“On our pediatrician visits, we get a lot of positive, fun reinforcement. Does Miles want to jump high? Yes. OK, this is what we eat to jump high. Does Miles want to run fast? OK, this is what we eat to help Miles run fast.”
Run Miles run!
With so many experts now agreeing that animal products aren’t necessary for good health, physicians included, there’s no reason to fight with a doc who’s stuck in the stubborn age and insists you feed Miles or Mary liver to prevent anemia.
Don’t forget there are also registered dietitians who specialize in vegetarian and vegan nutrition who can help with the cause. They’ll tell you what to feed your child to maximize all his running, jumping, playing and growing activities.
