British influencer Tessie Rose, 25, has been at the center of a real storm in recent days after announcing that her seven-month-old daughter, Oak, will grow up vegan.
Tens of thousands of people watched her announcement that she said that with the exception of breast milk, the baby will win (you decide if that word will be in quotes or not) to grow up on a completely vegan diet.

Part of the thing about being influential is that you have a lot of followers and everyone has something to say, and indeed, quite predictably, here too Rose's announcement drew a lot of reactions, especially from appalled surfers, when some even claimed it was a real abuse.

"It's not at all an act related to what's good for your daughter, it's just your madness and you do it out of selfish attitude," one surfer wrote to her, another surfer added that "babies should consume meat as part of their menu, you are doing a bad deed."
The deadly criticism went so far as to make some surfers even call on the British welfare authorities to take the toddler from Rose's hands and save her.
In response to these calls, the British influencer has released another video in which she claims that her daughter eats well and does not suffer from malnutrition.
She added: "It is a terrible impudence to criticize me in this way. Anyone who does not see what I do can kiss my ass."
Either way, Rose also breastfed her daughter until recently, even though breast milk is not a vegan "dose."
"Breast milk is adapted to what my daughter needs," she explained.
"I do not take cow's milk here intended for calves and carts and taken from her at will. I can agree or not to breastfeed anyone who asks me for breast milk."
The British celebrity, who is mainly involved in video content creation, added that "my sincere response to all those who criticize my choice is that they are narrow-minded and uneducated. They express their views on the issue without backing themselves in field research or testing."
If you were wondering, by the way, what are really the recommendations regarding raising a baby on a vegan diet only and is it enough, the New York Post reports, where the story was originally published, check it out and it turns out the answer is not so simple and there is "evidence" here and there, but One thing is for sure, anyone who chooses to raise their child as a vegan is highly advised to do so while under close medical supervision.
Rose herself is convinced in her own way and concludes: "I will raise Oak vegan and I will prove to all skeptics that this is a healthy method and that one should not consume animal foods even in small toddlers for them to grow well."
Were we wrong?
