Do you resolve that by having him successfully confront the bullies (as his regular self) at the end of the first book and make them stop bullying him?
Spoiler alert!!!

Yes, he does.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

I thought there was a good chance. So that solves that issue, since not many kids are going to stop in the middle of the first book given how short it is and the illustrations. Only issue is your non-vegan parents, who I don't think will be that put off if they're interested in an environmental/animal saving book anyway.

And you apparently put in a disclaimer about the fruit. I think you're good!
