Hopefully for WIC all over the US. I live in Oregon and I want to do the best thing for my baby. So we've switched to vegan and WIC doesn't support that...
Our programs should offer what is healthiest for families instead of being influeced by other industries.
As a nurse for 32 years, a family nurse practitioner for 20 years and a vegan for 15 years, I know that infants and children can thrive on a vegan diet. Please make soy formula and tofu available to anyone who wants it.
I hate how cows milk is meant to grow a baby calf into a huge cow, yet I am being forced to eat cheese and drink milk because I cannot let my wic checks go to waster and I am low income so every food item matters in my house!
Food offered should reflect all voluntary and involuntary diet choices of its clients.
It's ridiculous that alternatives to dairy products aren't available to WIC users. There ARE children and adults with allergies and digestive issues!!!!!

WIC should support vegan families and add non-dairy options to choose from. Especially under their slogan of providing "healthy and nutritious food"
