Paper
Topic: Children raised on vegan diets. Driving Question: Can a vegan diet
nutritionally support a child throughout all stages of development?
Thesis: A vegan diet can support a child's health as long as the parents pay close attention to the foods the child is consuming.
Interesting Facts
1. In America, livestock animals are exempted from anti-cruelty laws.
2. The America Dietetic Association advocate well planned vegetarian diets.
3. People who eat more fruits and vegetables have about half the risk of cancer.
4. Famous Vegetarians:
1. Socrates
2. Plato
3. Albert Einstein
4. Leonardo de Vinci
What I Learned While Researching
There are different types of vegan diets – some more restrictive than others.
Although it's possible, it is not a good idea to raise a child as a vegan.
There are lots of benefits to being vegan, however there are plenty of consequences as well.
Product
I made a cookbook of easy and fun vegan recipes. Many are vegan versions of common dishes.
I used a small scrapbook and decorations to make it.
I worked on the product during my free time. My product gives people a way to
incorporate vegan food into their normal diet.
I did not have a mentor.
What I Learned from the Product
TIME MANAGEMENT! Chose something you know you
will have fun making. Making a cookbook is more time-
consuming than you think.
Connecting my Paper to my Product
My paper talked about how to stay healthy and eat well as a vegan, so my cookbook offered easy and healthy recipes. It offers some less-scary vegan alternatives to meat and animal products.
Successes: Completing my
product. Having most of my
paper done sophomore year.
Choosing a product I was able to have fun with.
Challenges: Time management
and procrastination. Sticking with the
time line. Finding trustworthy
sources.
Reflection
I will use these recipes in the future and share them with my family and friends.
I do not plan on becoming vegan or turning my knowledge into a career.
I took away a new knowledge of a different diet and lifestyle, as well as new ways to make veggies taste good!
