idk I garuntee I will feed my kids better than this. I'm already preparing for it!

I have my own garden that I am expanding all the time, in 2 months I started and developed 6+ garden bets with fruits, tubers, squash, leafy greens, legumes, seeds, and even grains (may also start a rice paddy) All grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and no till (although i did dig swails around my raised beds). I also have 25 hazelnut saplings and an wild black walnut sapling started, will also be growing a variety of stone fruit and other fruits like apples and pears.
I am also raising my own livestock, have started with a few dozen ducks, plan to use them for eggs, fertilizer, land management, and meat. In the meantime I have a neighbor who raises her birds in a fashion close to how I plan to (outdoors with as much supplemental forage as possible, although she doesn't keep them penned and I will be having them on daily rotating pasture using mobile infrastructure)
Have plans for dairy animals, probably a carefully selected Jersey cow, for their high butterfat content and gentle personalities. It also doesn't hurt that they are cute as heck. And I will also be raising meat animals like rabbits and potentially sheep or goats, preferably the latter. I will use as little feed as possible, as animals fed their natural diet make better manure for the soil.

Nutrition will be optimal for my child. And YES, I live in a flyover state.

I would be surprised if my child ended up as a vegan. They will spend so much time helping me take care of my livestock and garden they will realize that the animals don't just give their lives for nothing, it's a trade for the humans providing optimal care that nature cannot provide and a quick and painless death (plus most of my slaughters will be my weak animals not suitable for breeding) in exchange for their mortal flesh to provide for me during my short stay in this mortal realm.

Cant wait to have babies ~~<3
