In this paper I respond to Marcus William Hunt’s argument that vegan parents have pro tanto reasons for not raising their children on a vegan diet because such a diet is potentially harmful to children’s physical and social well-being. In my rebuttal, first I show that in practice all vegan diets, with the exception of wacky diets, are beneficial to children’s well-being (and adults as well); and that all animal-based diets are potentially unhealthful. Second, I show that vegan children are no more socially outcast than any other group. In other words, veganism does not harm the lives of children. Having considered several studies, I show that the moral reasons that vegan parents may have for raising their children on a vegan diet significantly outweigh the reasons for raising their children on an animal-based diet. Thus, I conclude that parents have a moral obligation to raise their children on a vegan diet.

素食主义与儿童:对马库斯·威廉·亨特的回应

在这篇论文中,我回应了 Marcus William Hunt 的论点,即纯素父母不以纯素饮食抚养孩子是有很多理由的,因为这种饮食可能对孩子的身体和社会福祉有害。在我的反驳中,首先我表明,在实践中,除了古怪的饮食外,所有纯素饮食都有益于儿童(以及成人)的健康;并且所有以动物为基础的饮食都可能不健康。其次,我表明素食儿童并不比任何其他群体更被社会排斥。换句话说,素食主义不会伤害儿童的生命。在考虑了几项研究后,我表明纯素食父母以纯素饮食抚养孩子的道德原因明显超过了以动物为基础的饮食抚养孩子的原因。因此,
