I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

This vegan is completely irrelevant. Any baby younger than 6 months needs nothing other than a substantial amount of milk to survive, and be healthy. The key word being substantial.
This is obviously a case of deliberately underfeeding the child, which in no way has anything to do with the parents being vegan.
It is VERY common for babies to get no other food in their diet other than formula or milk for the first 6 months... what else can you feed them really?
How they related veganism to the death is beyond me. |
i had nothing but steak as a baby. :toothless |

What makes them morons?
I mean, just because a person chooses not to add meat into their diet doesn't make them less intelligent than someone else. Vegans for the most part eat a lot healthier than most carnivores, simply because they can't have the additives like milk and eggs that are in a lot of the garbage food we eat.
I don't know, if you are careful and you make sure to supplement the vitamins you would normally get from meat, then I think it is totally cool. |

Meh, the way the news articles are covering it, it makes it seem like veganism is the cause of it, when really that wasn't the case. These people are being labelled "VEGANS" and "MURDERERS" in the same context just to over-sensationalize something that doesn't even exist, and get all the meat eating people (mostly everyone) to get up on their self-righteous pedastels and point the finger.
If the news was covering it PROPERLY (fat chance), they would state clearly that the parents tried to use their vegan diet as an excuse of the child being underfed. |

I have a hunch that she can recognize when the media is putting emphasis and hype on something that is not actually relevant to the news at hand. |

No, I'm not. In fact, I don't even think I know anyone who is vegan.
I just simply disagree with people attacking a personal choice and using it as leverage toward something that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter... same as I feel about race, sex, orientation etc.
SOOOOOO many people do it, and it frusterates me to no end. It bugs me even more that our media supports this stupid behaviour, and people wonder why there is so much intolerance. |

But that isn't how it is presented.
| quote: | | The parents of a baby that died of starvation after being fed a vegan diet have been found guilty of malice murder, felony murder and first degree cruelty to children. |
That there suggests that the vegan diet is the cause of the starvation.
| quote: | | After being fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice, he weighed only 3 1/2 pounds when he died. |
Whatever he ate wasn't the point... it was HOW MUCH he ate = NOT ENOUGH!!
| quote: | | "They're not vegans, they're baby killers," |
Let me ing vomit to this. Mentioning the two COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT FACTS as a comparison is such bull. Not to mention, equating vegans to baby killers is outright ridiculous!!
No where in that article does it say "the parents who underfed the child accused the vegan diet for being the cause of the baby's death".
Nope. Instead it pretty much leads the reader to believe that the vegan diet was the CAUSE of it.
AKA over-sensationalized bull hype... just like pretty much every other news story out there. |

I don't have to answer you because you already know what I mean, now you just want to start an argument over nothing. |
