Does going vegetarian stunt your growth?

Question

please help.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

No it does not

Answer 3

No, I was born and raised a vegetarian and now I'm the 2nd tallest in my family, only after my brother(vegetarian).

Answer 4

Vegetarian Times once did an article about a study that had been done comparing veggie kids to their meat eating counter parts.  the veggies were all at least 10% taller, & missed less days of school due to illness.

Also i know it does NOT stunt growth because i have 4 sons all raised veggie all over 6feet tall and 2 daughters one 6 feet tall and the other about 5'10".  when the boys were in high school 3 of 4 were lettermen in 3 sports for all 4 yrs in high school and the girls one was a cheerleader for 3 yrs the other lettered in Track for 3 yrs.  again no being a healthy veggie will not stunt your growth.  lotz of love - a veggie Mom - in your cornor.
