It should say

" Stupid ignorant parents who refused to feed their

child and take appropriate medical action when

neccessary, killed their baby "

yeah, why weren't they breast feeding? Assuming there was a problem with

her milk then you need some sort of medical intervention. 99% of vegans

would have no trouble with this.

Hi folks:

Of course I agree.

And there is a broader point here. It is that, as a general

principle, it is inappropriate to go off on some wild tangent wrt

health without first making sure you know enough about the issues to

be confident you really do understand the consequences of what you

are doing.

Which is one reason I like this place, because of its emphasis on

serious evidence.

(IMO the coconut oil issue may be another example, where some people

have read some nutcase ranting on an obscure website and may be doing

things that more careful attention to the details might suggest may

be sizeably detrimental to their health. As I said: IMO).

Of course there isn't much about health that is known for absolutely

certain.

Hi Jeff

I agree with you. I viewed the video clips when this story

came out, and they showed the apartment of the couple -

there was no food on the cupboards, and no food in the

refrigerator. Nothing can be more ignorant than that.

I'm not sure why they labeled themselves vegetarians

or vegans.

Cheers,

Arturo

Moderation and selectivity in critter consumption (I now eat fish and

fowl upon occasion) are less glorious but are sounder bases for

living life and partaking gratefully in what we have been given on

this earth as food, I've determined, for myself.

They probably were, and they probably based their ignorant

malnourishment of their baby on their beliefs, as they claimed.

Certainly wasn't very good PR for veganism.
