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

So no breastfeeding because she's "vegan" or what?

@rrraksamam apparently the baby was breastfed.

@LilithoftheTrees @rrraksamam Okay. I read the article and

The O’Learys told police after Ezra’s death that the family followed a strict vegan diet, eating only raw fruits and vegetables, but that the toddler was also fed breast milk.

How much nutrition can the mother get from eating only raw fruits and veggies?

There's millions of vegan mothers out there and their diet is like a buffet when they have a baby.
This vegan mother clearly doesn't know how to raise a baby.

@rrraksamam I agree…but..it’s her 4th child yes?

@rrraksamam She's a raw vegan. It's basically an eating disorder at that point.

@LilithoftheTrees Article only mentions an older child. So I think it's two in total?

@BlueVeins So I guess no grains? Wow. I wonder if she eats bread...

@rrraksamam I guess not? No cooked beans, no soy milk, in some cases no vitamins. There's no valid health reason for adopting a raw diet, none at all.

@BlueVeins I agree. That kind of diet can only cause huge medical bills in the future
