My children and 5 and 3 and have (almost) never eaten meat, eggs or dairy. Tested regularily in a world class health system and they are stellar in every way.

B12 supplimentation is pretty trivial.

What? I eat meat, but this comment makes no sense. I have a number of healthy friends that have never touched meat in their lives.

“Need” was perhaps a strong word. But basically if one eats a strictly vegan diet during growth years without supplements, they WILL develop malnutrition related disorders and/or stunted growth. It is the recommendation of pediatricians to feed kids some meat so as to provide a natural source of essential vitamins and minerals. Kids who do not eat meat need to be screened for various malnutrition, growth, and eating disorders.
