A man whose wisdom and knowledge you eaters of flesh with babies and kids should know about, in case you have been living in a cave.
Prologue to article (http://www.pcrm.org/magazine/GM98SpringSummer/GM98SpSm1.html):
Dr. Benjamin Spock never lost the enormous compassion that marked his work for children and for the adults they become. His book Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care (http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Spocks-Baby-Childcare-Seventh/dp/0671537628) has been a key reference for parents since it first appeared in 1946. With nearly 50 million copies in print, it has sold more than any book other than the Bible. In its seventh edition, which appeared May 2, 1998, Dr. Spock added new emphasis to the power of foods for health. He was a member of PCRM’s Advisory Board, participated in our press conferences, and was always a strong supporter of our work. His death on March 15, 1998, meant the loss of one of the world’s most compassionate and ethical physicians.

Most families have become concerned about the fat content of meats and are choosing the lower-fat cuts. I would encourage them to go a step further and get their nutrition from vegetables, grains, beans, and fruits, rather than from meats, poultry, fish, or dairy products.
and
By the 1960s and 1970s, support for vegetarian diets was growing in the U.S. Increasingly, health professionals accepted it as a valuable alternative. Before his death in 1998 at the age of ninety-four, pediatrician Benjamin Spock, MD, became a vocal advocate for the vegetarian diet (http://www.massgeneral.org/children/adolescenthealth/articles/aa_vegetarian_diet.aspx). And in the final edition of his book Baby and Child Care, he advised parents to feed their children a vegetarian-based diet.
