    It’s the microbial diet, so it’s got nothing to do with ethics, the mother was just following all the pseudo-science around which she foods are good for gut health.

    Kimchi is good for gut health (that part is not not pseudo-science, but it’s just good food, not a magic cure)

    Fish sauce is also fermented therefore arguably good for gut health, but regardless good Kinchela will contain fish sauce, so if the goal of your diet is just “eat all the fermented food that’s good for your gut”, it’s going to end up being lacto-pescatarian.

    Why the kid couldn’t eat dairy must be due to a second pseudo-science belief. Yoghurt is good for gut health so the mum must have had some other reason, something she read on Facebook like “cow hormones in the milk are bad for your human hormone levels” could explain cutting out the fairy without being ethically vegan.
