1. Raising a Child as a Vegan Katie Ferguson

2. Interest I was curious if it was possible. Child abuse cases. It was a unique topic.

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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!
