[Tip]

I thought "deprivation" applies to something that is a necessity.

Meat is not a necessity as whole cultures live and thrive as vegetarians - therefore wouldn't apply?

I think more parents could be done for letting their children get obese, get diabetes and clogged arteries, which is all still possible with bad vegetarian diets but most vegetarians are actually very very well informed on nutrition in my experience, particularly as parents.
