Meat does not make you fat, eating too many calories does.
Meat is not unhealthy, an unbalanced diet is.
Meat does not make you impotent.
Meat does not make you ugly.. LOL.. WTF?
Meat does not make you diseased, an unbalanced diet does.

I hope your children enjoy birth defects and lower than average brain masses.
actually, their more likely to enjoy entended lifespans and a lifetime of bountiful health & well-being.
Kids should eat a slight amount of meat as children to allow their brain to mature and grow. The B6 and B12 in meat allows for a healthier growth of nerves and syanpses at a young age. The protein, glucosamine, and fat also allows for a more healthy growth of muscle, bone, and skin cells. But organic, non-grain fed animals are best. Open sea fish is good if ina non-polluted environment. As they grow older and require less of this, it is healthier to start limiting meat (I am not sure about no meat) and calories. Because as was stated about. Limiting meat and calories does prolong life as you get older.
But forcing your child, especially at a very young age, to be vegan could be a form of child abuse, IMHO. You could seriously hurt there potential by limiting there nutrition like that.
and you're a trained nutritionist, qualified to give dietary advice to parents raising children?
I can say that the only child I know who has been raised as vegetarian from birth is developing much, much more slowly than normal. He's over two years old and has a vocabulary of four words. He also did not walk until well after he was one year old.
I have a friend who is vegan, and his kid is "vegan". His kid is healthy, he is only two right now, but the difference is, he is still breast-fed, so he still gets nutrients that aren't in many plants. The mother isn't vegan. I have another friend whose kid is vegan and was taken off breast feeding after his first year, and is not developing as fast as other kids. He is healthy, just not as strong or active as the other kids which is bad for his mental development added to the fact that he isn't getting the neccessary nutrients to develop quicker.
And to aidanjm, I know plenty of nutritionist, and they would recommend the same thing I just said, unless they are hardheaded and will not allow your kid to have any meat. BTW, my father is a PHD is Biochimistry and Pharmacology, plus he does homeopathic medicine & nutrition now. Before going into the Computer field, in highschool and college, I worked in the biotech industry. And I eat quite healthy as well. I know personally at least three Nutritionists because I worked in the biotech industry and the PT industry before college. Plus, eating is basically common sense. To be honest, you don't have to ask someone to know that too little or too much of one thing is bad for you.
If humans were made to eat vegatables only, then we would have evolved only molars instead of incisors and canines.

Even our intestines are not quite like a cows, nor are they like a cat's either, somewhere in the middle...
If done in moderation, there is no health issue regarding eating meat. The only views I'll really respect are those for the concern of animals, not for health. Even the ability to think in such a way to say it's immoral to eat another animal, is to possess an intelligence in which many theories state is because of meat's influence on the human brain. Mutation.Those theories suggest, had humans not eaten meat, we wouldn't be as advanced as we are today, it says nothing about still eating meat being good or bad, but it's interesting none the less.

Cruelty to animals sucks, but it is a neccessary evil to eat meat. If you go to a farm, they are just as "cruel", just less unsanitary. The slaughtering of the animal is quick either way you do it. It is the keeping and feeding of the animal that is more messed up if not for "moral" reasons, at least for health reasons.
