Recently, a news that has made many parents feel sad has been exposed on the Internet.
A mother anxiously brought her son to the hospital, saying that her son was stunted and that doctors could not treat it.
As a result, the doctor measured and found that the child was 6 years and 3 months old, and he was only 102cm tall and weighed 16kg, which was obviously a long way behind his normally developing peers.
Could it be that there is some genetic disease? The doctor questioned the child's mother and found that it was not the child itself that had any disease, but the main problem was food!
It turned out that the boy's father and grandparents were vegetarian, so the mother also ate vegetarian under the influence, blindly believing that vegetarian is healthy, and advocating the so-called "fetal vegetarian (the mother is vegetarian when she is pregnant)", and after the son was born, because he was afraid of breast milk on fire, he began to feed him porridge at the beginning of 3 months, and he basically did not taste any meat when he was more than 6 years old, and malnutrition is also reasonable.
The doctor also reminded the mother very seriously that the child can only grow to normal height in the future by taking growth hormone, but the mother is still hesitant, and feels that what "hormones" are not good for the body and do not want to give the son, the doctor also helplessly said, if you can accept that the son can only grow to 150cm, then you can not hit, and let the mother go back to think about it!
After many netizens read the news, it was also a pity that the boy, sighing that it was really a crime to be born in such a family, looking at the mother's hesitant look and not knowing if it would really be a son to play hormones, and the son will grow up only 150cm in the future, and he really has to be inferior for a lifetime.
And such a family is obviously not an exception, if in the past children grew up vegetarian because poor really could not eat meat, then now although there is no shortage of meat, but more and more families choose to take the initiative to eat vegetarian, believe that what vegetarian is healthy not to eat meat is good, and even from an early age to train children to be vegetarian, but also superstitious so-called "placenta vegetarian", completely disregarding the normal growth and development of children.
And searching for keywords such as "placenta" on platforms such as Xiaomoushu, you can see that a large number of young mothers are now sharing how to raise their children to be vegetarian from the time of the fetus, and many netizens have followed suit, feeling that this is healthy, and it has to make people think about it very scared.
At the same time, many celebrities are also vigorously advocating the so-called vegetarian healthy lifestyle, and some promote plant-based meat and artificial meat, although it shows that the star is also taking money for publicity, and it is not so extreme to say that people should not eat meat just vegetarians. But the publicity of public figures will obviously subtly affect many people, especially some people who do not like to eat meat in the first place, and even reject eating meat, and even influence this habit to the next generation. Some parents will also give their children eggs to supplement protein, but more extreme even eggs are not allowed to be eaten by children, and the real thing is to be "vegan".
In addition, even if those stars are vegetarian, they are rich enough to rely on other supplements to supplement the nutrients that are not missing from eating meat, but it is obviously difficult for ordinary people to fully follow suit while maintaining good health.
According to scientific research, children from an early age vegan, lack of protein and other nutrients, will have irreversible damage to physical development and brain tissue development. There are even news abroad that mothers have been feeding babies fruits and vegetables for a long time, causing them to starve to death.
For this reason, many netizens complained that this kind of parents are purely too good days and too full.
At the same time, some netizens believe that although many people do not like to eat meat for reasons such as faith, even if vegetarian diet alone can maintain good health and thrive, there is no need to engage in survivorship bias in this kind of issue, and they should only restrain themselves rather than others.
Especially for children who are still in the developmental stage, they should not be forced to vegetarian at the risk of stunting because of their parents' wishes. As for whether he eats vegetarian or not after the completion of his development, it is his personal freedom, but as a parent, he has the obligation to ensure that his child's nutrition is balanced, his health is healthy, and he listens to the advice of professional scientists and doctors!
