What’s wrong with people? Vegan mom, 38, starved her toddler to death over 18 months by feeding him only raw vegetables and fruit.

Didn't the baby have regular checkups? Didn't docs pick this up?
@SW-User that was my question as well.

@LilithoftheTrees I don't get how no one noticed the baby wasn't doing well. She seems to have an issue with her children so you'd think someone was paying attention to what she is doing with the younger one.

Also, there are so many vegan families. How is it that this baby didn't thrive? Maybe there is more to it.
@SW-User I think you’re absolutely right. I just read that one article. Obviously there has to be some mental issues involved.
@SW-User why do people like this have more children?

Sheila O’Leary said that Ezra was also fed breast milk, however, an autopsy determined the boy’s cause of death was from complications related to malnutrition.

State Attorney Amira Fox said the couple also abused and neglected their three other children, who were ages three, five, and 11 at the time of Ezra’s death.

@LilithoftheTrees because no one yet has come up with a reasonable fitness check on people who can be parents.
Because suddenly religious and humanitarian issues get in the way.
I don't know why no one cares the abuse children go through because of unfit parents.

@SW-User Most vegan families keep in touch with doctors and don't follow degenerate eating disorder diets like "fully raw" or "frugivore." Make no mistake, these parents' failing was not in any way caused by their moral convictions; they fully bought into dangerous pseudoscience about human health and forced it down the throats of innocent children.

@SW-User Babies and young children need a high degree of nutrients so I can't see how they can realistically thrive on a vegan diet. Also it seems that a lot of vegans, when they become one, have no idea what they're actually doing. They don't do the research on what foods they should eat to replace some of the nutrients they lose. I'm a vegetarian but would never be a vegan precisely because of the inconvenience of not being able to get protein through milk and cheese as easily. I have soy as well, but surprisingly a lot of vegans don't even know they should be consuming that if they're no longer having protein from other sources...it's like they think they can survive on a cucumber or something
