Parenting tip for vegans: please feed the baby vital macronutrients

[Howard Treesong]

If the facts are as represented in the news, I'd be in favor of the death penalty for these parents.

It's just dumb to worry so much about a random baby dying if one doesn't care about millions of approximately as advanced beings (such as pigs) being systematically murdered all the time.

According to some article, it wasn't even very much about the parents being vegan, it was that they didn't feed the baby almost at all. Don't know the specifics though, maybe they were just idiots.

Christ. There's nothing wrong with raising children without them eating meat, but these two are just retarted. There would have been no problem if the idiot mother had breast fed this kid, and then let him eat solid vegetable food after he was a 1-1.5 years old. But instead of breast milk (take that corporations!) they shovel soy milk and apple juice into the kid.

[censored] hippies. The baby weighed 3 pounds and they never took him to a pediatrician!

So I heard. It's about the same kind of "difference" as people dying in school shootings/WTC versus people dying in random poor country due to starvation/war/something.

The kid died of malnutrition period. From things I've read, fruits and vegitables contain all of the nutrients your body needs.

I eat meat, but I believe that a vegan diet is the most healthy way to live life. Some of the strongest animals on earth are vegiterians. Once you start cooking meat (or any food) you loose a lot of the nutrients, so I don't even look as cooked meat as being that healthy.

Cows milk... I try not to drink it. Why would I want to drink something that's genetically meant for a 400lb'ish baby animal with the brain the size of a walnut?

Those parents who killed their baby from starvation are just a couple of crack pots. You can easily raise a healthy baby as a vegan. I just can't believe they didn't feed the baby breast milk!

“Vegetarians and their Hezbollah splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistant irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal, stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demiglace, or even stinky cheese is not a life worth living.”

“Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food”

I read lots of things, but some of the things I mentioned above are mentioned in Stanley Burroughs "The Master Cleanse."

Regarding raw food, I think raw food is much healthier than cooked food. This is why I like to juice fruits and vegtables.

However, I eat stuff cooked too.

I live life to enjoy it, not be healthy. However, some of the healthy things I do allow me to enjoy life a little more by feeling good.

I enjoy steak; I don't enjoy fasting but I do it becase it makes me feel better in the long run and allows me to enjoy life a little more.

I really enjoy shell fish, but I don't eat it because it's unhealthy for you. Same with pigs.

If I was 100% focused on health then yes, I would be part of the raw food movement.
