Almost Killing A Child With Food...!

Although the title is a bit misleading, the crime isn't. Here is a case so bizzare from the article on Listverse, that it is almost unbelievable!

Veganism



Abuse: Parents nearly kill child with Vegan Diet.

A pair of parents in Queens nearly killed their infant, through negligence. And by negligence, we mean that they refused to breast feed it or give it any milk or dairy products. In fact, all they allowed the baby were fruits, veggies and legumes. In other words, they had already turned their infant child into a vegan. They consider “Veganism”, to be like a religion to them. The two parents were sentenced to five to twenty five years, because the judge felt that they should simply have understood that a baby is too young for a vegan diet and needs better nutrition.

You have to wonder just what was going on in the minds of these parents. They certainly did NOT deserve to have this child and treat it this manner. I believe the sentence was almost too lenient, but that's just my opinion.

Coffee out on the patio this morning.

People like that should not breed.

Hey Gorges...
Yep...I know!
Thanks for stopping by this morning!


Hey Rob...
Hopefully to someone with more common sense!
Thanks for coming over this morning!


Hey Momlady...
I'm afraid you are right about that!
Thanks for the visit today!

I hope this poor child doesn't have permanent bone damage from the lack of calcium and other important nutrients.

See you all on the patio raining here again.

People are so ignorant sometimes. Mothers milk is the the way God intended babies to be nourished, but then, what can you expect from a generation that thinks people are sometimes not born the sex they were ment to be?

I suppose that they thought that they were doing the right things. Glad the baby was rescued.
Maybe an intelligence test should be given before a couple gets married (grin)

Hey Jo...
Lucky that babies' bones can heal a lot while they grow, given the right foods.
Thanks for dropping by today, dear!


Hey Mamahen...
I don't think that some folks have any common sense at all.
Thanks for stopping by today!


Hey Dizzy...
That's probably a good idea. But what happens when the total of both comes up in single digits?
Thanks for coming over today!

IF you know what you're doing, you can get away with a vegetarian diet for an infant, but most vegetarians don't. But a vegan diet? No. No way. Not even. No can do. Not gonna happen. Not with babies. I'm not entirely convinced it's healthy for adults, either.

I've done the vegetarian thing before, and it worked out pretty well, but I still had access to eggs and dairy. Vegan is just a form of torture.

And also, the name of those aliens from the fourth planet orbiting Vega. But that's a different issue.
