Why would I give soy milk to young children?? Children have mothers milk or specially crafted formula and then start eating other foods.
Yes, without a doubt, but i've seen vegans who do this, because milk isn't vegan and which don't even use honey in their diet nor using yeast as complement. Works in young people some years, but all they finished with 40-50 years with several serious health diseases. As I say, fanatism is bad and it is idiotic to pretend that it from falling from one extreme to the other due to alleged unnatural excesses in the past in meat feeding to the other just as unnatural only with vegetals. https://www.newsweek.com/parents-convicted-feeding-baby-vegetable-milk-625626
While it is true that certain dietary deficits take years to surface in actual somatic issues and probably as well that the majority of vegans is younger than the western average, neither is evidence that a vegan diet (especially a modern one) can't be sustainable & healthy for a whole lifetime.
Large fractions of the world's population don't eat diary products at all (like said before, lactose tolerance is rather the exception than the rule, globally), and others don't have access to meat/fish, at least regularly, can't keep certain animals or what not - do you consider all that unhealthy?
@Aarkon @Zerush I am not an expert in the domain but my area for lacking access to fish, has a high incidence of Goitre.
This is because of a clear lack of iodine and some minerals found in seafood. While most cope up with this, they do have thyroid issues.
I guess the same can be said for a lack of any other type of food.
