She looks undernourished and pale, which is why a mother secretly gives meat to her daughter’s friend. The woman is convinced: after a meal, the girl already looks much healthier.
Munich – It is not uncommon for many people to criticize the vegan diet. Not everyone shows understanding of the diet. There are still many persistent rumors and prejudices, so some people might still equate a vegan diet with malnutrition. It was precisely this attitude that the mother of a 12-year-old daughter evidently had. When her daughter’s friend comes to visit, the mother decides to offer the girl meat as well. Although the child is fed strictly vegan by its own parents.
Out of pity: Mother secretly gives her daughter’s vegan friend meat
As RTL now reports, citing a conversation on the Reddit platform, the mother asked for advice there herself. In the discussion, she first described wanting to do something good for her daughter’s friend. The girl is often over night to visit, but the mother said the girl had an unhealthy charisma. The 12-year-old is even visibly malnourished. The girl is strictly vegan at home and is not allowed to drink milk, for example.
“I noticed how much smaller and paler she is compared to my daughter. I think that is probably related to the diet of her family, ” RTL quotes the anonymous mother from the discussion. But as the woman herself admits in the conversation, she doesn’t just leave it with a simple glass of milk. Instead, she prepares “a big meaty meal” every time the girl visits. And the mother is certain: the 12-year-old always devours the meal she has prepared. And every time the mother says she has “a healthy shine on her” afterwards.
Mother secretly gives her daughter’s friend meat – a wave of indignation hits her
As RTL further quotes the mother, she believes that the girl lies to her parents about the meat consumption after the visits. She is currently plagued by remorse, even if she assumes that the girl is malnourished. But instead of the presumably desired popularity, there is apparently criticism and a wave of indignation for the ambitious woman.
“That is extremely inappropriate,” is how one user describes the mother’s behavior, for example. Other Reddit users are sure that the girl’s appearance couldn’t change after a single meal. The fact that the 12-year-old apparently has secrets from her parents also meets with reluctance among many users. It is not known whether the mother of her daughter’s friend will continue to eat meat after the wave of outrage.
How healthy or harmful is the meatless and vegan diet of growing children? A study by the Institute for Child Health in Warsaw found that the physical development of the little ones was impaired.
By the way: cucumbers, avocados and the like are not vegan – no one would have guessed the reason for this.
