I probably should clarify, I'm talking about very young children, infants and children probably less than 2 years of age. Their nutritional needs are quite different and a vegan diet probably will not provide necessary, vital nutrients needed during critical growth periods.
The information you are providing is for adults, I have no doubt. Planning a vegan diet to meet the nutritional needs of an adult does take some initial planning to insure necessary vitamins, minerals, and adequate protein are provided so cells can function, repair and rebuild. It seems you are doing well making the correct nutritional choices to keep you healthy and happy.
