FFK41: My child invited a vegan friend home for tea, with Paula Hallam

from Food For Kids

Today's episode is the second of our series on the theme of helpful information if your child asks to bring someone home for tea who has different dietary requirements than your own family. Back in episode 11 we talked about some tips for hosting a child who is coeliac and today we're talking about having a child for tea who is vegan or plant-based if your family is not. For this I spoke to Paula Hallam from Plant-Based Kids UK. Paula is a leading children’s dietitian, mum to two teen girls, author and plant based nutrition expert. She is passionate about helping families navigate the (often confusing) world of feeding children without feeling overwhelmed. Her mission is to help parents raise happy, healthy plant-powered kids, without spending hours in the kitchen! Paula has 25 years experience as a children’s dietitian, working in the NHS for 18 years in a variety of paediatric roles, including the world famous Great Ormond Street Hospital (twice!), food allergy research, consulting to health charities and providing expert nutrition advice to baby food brands.Links in this episodePaula's website - https://plantbased-kids.com/Paula's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/plantbasedkids.ukMusic "Happy Days" by Simon Folwar via Uppbeat
