Aoife Hearne: I'm worried my vegan teenage daughter is not eating properly 

According to a 2021 Bord Bia survey, approximately 2% to 4% of the Irish population identifies as vegan - while this figure may seem low, it’s an increase from previous years.

It is normal for teenagers to begin to separate from their parents and make their own identity.
