Is it true that children on vegan diets are shorter on average than children on omnivorous diets?

Yes. Two independent meta-analyses and a large cohort report that vegan children have lower height or shorter stature than omnivorous children, directly supporting the claim. One smaller Czech cross-sectional study found no significant growth differences between dietary groups.
