My 15month old daughter has a vegetarian diet, but I'm open to the possibility that we should feed her more meat/dairy/supplements than we currently do since the lack of protein or other nutrients might have LT cognitive or health consequences.
Current diet:
lots of pasta/rice/bread/potatoes/fruit/butter/yogurt, some veg
breastfed (4times/night, decreasing slowly)
v occasional mussels (my attempt at ethical meat - she's not a fan and rarely eats any)
v occasional vit d/wellbaby multi-vit (she's not a fan, every 3 days?)
If anyone can link to evidence (blog posts, newspapers articles, academic papers, twitter threads) that results in us adding more meat, dairy products, or other kinds of supplements, the question will resolve to yes. Also resolves to yes if I update towards thinking it's worth it but her vegetarian mother vetos it.
What might change my mind/behaviour:
- Good empirical evidence. I'm not a biologist/medic but I work in research and understand the basics of study design and statistics and have authored a Cochrane review. I'm sceptical of some observational nutritional epidemiology claims. Appreciate work by George Davey Smith, Emily Oster and EBM advocates.
- Strong first-principles arguments. I won't put her in hard shoes because of Richard Wrangham and am more relaxed about sleeping less because of Alexey Guzey.
- Peoples trades on what will change my mind/behaviour.
Mar 2, 1:40pm: Three clarifications:
(1) She occasionally eats lentils, tofu, quorn, impossible burgers, cheese and eggs - thanks for the suggestions.
(2) Only links to convincing studies/blogs etc indicating we should expect her to benefit from consuming more animal products (or supplements substituting something she would otherwise consume in animal products) will result in me resolving Yes.
(3) Feel free to also link to sources indicating *no* health benefits to increasing her meat products/supplement consumption: these may increase the chance I resolve to No and potentially decrease her current animal product intake.
