Thank you, Tiffanie! I’ll look into that book. I’ve been hearing so much lately that the Omegas from vegetarian sources are not absorbed well, but I think I need to just do a little more research. There’s algae-derived Omega-3 and that might be a way to go. I want to be sure we’re not depriving our son of brain food! We take B-12 supplements and I read on this website (I think it was Kim’s blog) that nutritional yeast on popcorn is rather tasty, so we may need to give that a try. :) Thank you again.

Terrific article, Tiffanie. My husband and I have been lacto-ovo vegetarians since 1983, and have raised our now 13-year-old son the same way. I’ve considered a move to a vegan diet, but am concerned about Omega-3 and B-12 for our son, in particular, as they are already a worry with a lacto-ovo diet. Do you have any thoughts on that? Thank you again for a super article.
