re: Vegan mother convicted of 1st degree murder by only feeding 18 month old raw fruits

Man people need meat. I am a fricking carnivore, I don't know how people are full on vegans.. And they end up doing crazy shite like this.

I’ve never met a healthy vegan.

Vegan covers some pretty broad ground. There's shitty vegan diets and healthy vegan diets. Just like with omni diets. I've been vegan for five years and I'm in the best shape of my life and I'm rarely sick.

I would hazard to guess that’s entirely due to dental hygiene and not diet.

There are plenty of perfectly healthy kids out there who subsist on nothing but milk - either breast or otherwise - and fruits and veggies at 18 months. Not eating for a week is the fricking problem and that is probably a clue that they aren’t taking care of dental hygiene, either.

This is an exact episode of House...season 1 episode 18: Babies and Bathwater

Only difference is the baby didn't die...but it was vegan parents who were arrested because their baby was malnourished. It turns out it was a problem with the babie's thymus gland called DiGeorge Syndrome.

The kids were starved. Fruit vegetables and breast milk are all fine. It’s the starvation part that was the problem.

This isn’t really a “vegan” story. The child could have survived on breast milk alone. He child hadn’t been fed in more than a week when he died. That’s got nothing to do with vegan, and everything to do with crazy.

Well crazy and OP go hand in hand.
