Recently, a kindergarten in Chengdu under the banner of "Chinese studies" was exposed as a vegetarian, which made netizens angry.

The publicity content of the kindergarten shows that the children in this kindergarten are isolated from the vegetarian diet while receiving the education of Chinese studies such as Disciple's Rules and Chang Li Yao Ju, and even won the praise of many readers, expressing their hope to send their children.

Some popular science bloggers pointed out that the vegan diet of preschool children will cause serious malnutrition, which will cause lifelong harm to IQ and even endanger life. This arrangement is suspected of "child abuse".

According to an official of the local education bureau, an investigation team has been set up to carry out the investigation, and the results will be announced to the public later.

In addition, according to Observer.com, there are nearly 100 kindergartens in China under the same banner of "Chinese studies+vegetarianism", covering most provinces.

The kindergarten of Deyin School in Xindu District of Chengdu was exposed as "vegan"

On March 2nd, the official WeChat account Vegetarian posted a tweet called "Zan, there is such a vegetarian kindergarten in Chengdu", introducing a special kindergarten named "Deyin School" located in Xindu District of Chengdu.

The word "virtuous tone" has the meaning of "kind words", which comes from "virtuous tone can't be violated, life and death" in Poem Li Feng Gu Feng. This kindergarten is named after it, and under the banner of "Chinese education", it really emphasizes the traditional classical education of China.

Wechat official account "Vegetarian" published "Like, there is such a vegetarian kindergarten in Chengdu", which has been deleted.

However, what is more special about this kindergarten is that it adopts a vegan diet.

The tweet said that the kindergarten "provides all kinds of vegetarian meals for students to ensure the necessary nutrition for children". "In addition to becoming a vegetarian in diet, the school also teaches children how to make food in their daily activities, telling them how to protect the environment and how to get along with small animals."

At the same time, this kindergarten also organizes students to make a "Thanksgiving dinner", which is of course vegetarian.

At the end of this tweet, "The core work of education is to stimulate children's innate kindness and strengthen their good deeds. Teach children filial piety and respect, know how to be considerate and grateful, know how to respect life and fear nature. "

But in the eyes of other netizens, this kindergarten really has too many slots, which is very irritating.

First of all, although education in China is related to moral education, it really has nothing to do with vegetarianism.

For example, in the propaganda video of "Deyin School", a teacher leads the children to worship Confucius.

Confucius, whom they admired, not only did not advocate not eating meat, but even was very particular about eating meat. For example, "The Analects of Confucius and the Rural Party" is "tireless in food." If you eat glutinous rice, the fish will have no meat, so you won't eat it. "

Teachers of Deyin School lead students to worship Confucius.

In the words of netizens, this is selling "the idea of a skinless vegetarian" under the banner of "tradition" and "Chinese studies".

Why are netizens so excited about this? There is a simple reason. Preschool children must eat meat to get nutrition. ...

Science blogger @ Science Future also said that a vegan diet is suspected of abusing children, and children need to supplement a lot of protein. Vegetarian diet can easily make children malnourished and even life-threatening.

It is understood that a study published in a sub-issue of the British Medical Journal in August last year said that too much vegetarian food may lead to insufficient choline intake, thus affecting brain health. Choline is very important for brain health, especially during fetal development.

Because the choline produced by human liver is not enough to meet the needs of the body, it needs to be supplemented by diet, and dietary choline mainly comes from meat, eggs and dairy products. Insufficient choline intake in pregnant and lactating women will affect fetal brain health.

In addition, even if veganism is an "exotic product", even in foreign countries, it is not uncommon for children to have abnormal physical development due to vegan feeding.

Of course, in contemporary society, whether an adult is willing to be a vegetarian is his personal choice, and people have different views. After all, it hasn't hurt anyone.

But for preschool children, if their parents send them to a "vegan kindergarten", do they really have a choice?

As of press time, this tweet about "Deyin College" has been deleted by WeChat official account "Vegetarian", but the same content has been reprinted by many websites promoting vegetarianism.

Moreover, according to Observer.com, there are nearly 100 "vegan kindergartens" in official WeChat accounts all over the country, most of which advocate teaching children traditional classics and cultivating their moral integrity under the banner of "Chinese studies".

The names of these kindergartens are mostly "academies", "schools" and "private schools", which are distributed in most provinces in China, and the number ranges from dozens to two or three.

Some "vegan kindergartens" advertise online.
