A Four-Year Old's Perspective on Being Vegan

Raising a vegan family, I get a lot of questions about what it is like to raise kids vegan. That inspired me to interview my four (almost five!) year old son Jayden, about his thoughts on being a vegan child.I left his words as he said them... no editing.

Mama:  What does vegan mean?

Jayden: It means we don't eat animals.

Mama:  Why don't we eat animals?

Jayden: We don't eat animals because it will get dead. Animals don't like to get dead.

Mama:  What do animals like to do?

Jayden: They like to run all day. Especially giraffes and cheetahs do.

Mama:  What do you think about people who eat animals?

Jayden: People who do eat animals are not fair 'cuz they are not vegan.

Mama:  What would you tell them?

Jayden: Don't eat animals.

Ahh, the simplicity of children.
