Food writer Nina Planck, author of Real Food: What to Eat and Why, discusses the effects of a vegan diet on developing bodies. Some parents have gone to jail for imposing their own restrictions on their kids.

Nina discussed the risks of a vegan baby diet in this recent New York Times op-ed article.
