You can be a kid and eat vegetarian - and be healthy
Veggie Kids
But mac 'n cheese isn't enough… no matter what your kid says. Eating vegetarian can be a healthy diet for kids, pregnant and nursing moms, and babies -- accordingly to an exhaustive study review by the American Dietetic Association.

Guests:
Reed Mangels, co-author of the American Dietetic Association's 2009 position paper on vegetarian diets. She is a registered dietician, nutritionist and mother of two teenagers she has raised as vegans since birth.
Nancy Berkoff, registered dietician and chef specializing in vegetarian foods. She is co-author with Reed Mangels of "Vegan Seafood: Beyond The Fish Shtick For Vegetarians."
