I got told today I shouldn't raise kids because I'd purposefully raise them in a vegan household, without animal products of any sort. I was told this would be dangerous and unfair to the kids.

It was a weirdly direct thing for this person to say to me (one of my coworkers). It's stuck in my head. I was told I should let my potential children choose what sort of morals they have, even though this person is raising their kids Catholic. Their advice to me was to allow my potential kids to choose every night between a meat-based meal and a vegan meal (???). And several other coworkers agreed. Where do they come up with this? No carnist raises their kids like this.

So is anyone raising vegan kids or does anyone know about what it's like? Or was anyone here raised in a vegan household?

Well, you’re definitely onto something. The Hindus are using this as a tool to enforce hierarchies, and that’s bad. Actually vegetarianism was famously employed by the Nazis too basically to assert purity and wash their hands of other moral issues. I’m unable to get on board with a right to eat meat, considering that animal didn’t and can’t consent to be eaten and we don’t need to eat animals, but I respect your outlook and understand where you’re coming from.
