Abstract

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.

多物种育儿:儿童素食主义和健康，生殖和性别在瑞士的重新想象。

受营养科学的影响，喂养儿童通常被认为与儿童的健康和福祉有关。在这里，我要问的是，关注动物福利和环境问题的儿童素食主义是否对这种模式构成了挑战。从生殖研究中，我把重点放在瑞士素食父母对食物的看法上，以阐明一种“多物种”、不那么以人类为中心的育儿方式。虽然他们的伦理道德为健康和儿童保育开辟了新的视角，但我讨论了“可持续”的生殖实践如何也能巩固性别刻板印象和物种排序模式。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
