Influenced by nutritional science, feeding children is generally thought of in terms of children's health and well-being. Here, I ask whether child veganism, with its focus on animal welfare and environmental concerns, challenges this model. Drawing from reproductive studies, I focus on Swiss vegan parents' ideas about food to illuminate a "multispecies," less anthropocentric form of childcare. While their ethic opens up new perspectives on health and childcare, I discuss how "sustainable" reproductive practices can also solidify gender stereotypes and modes of ordering species.
受营养科学的影响,养育孩子通常被认为是为了孩子的健康和幸福。在这里,我想探讨一下儿童素食主义是否会挑战这种模式,因为儿童素食主义更关注动物福利和环境问题。通过对生殖研究的借鉴,我关注瑞士素食父母对食物的看法,以阐明一种更具“多元物种”、更少人类中心主义的育儿方式。虽然他们的伦理观为健康和育儿提供了新的视角,但我也讨论了“可持续”的生殖实践如何巩固性别刻板印象和物种排序模式。
