Question:
That is shocking.
If that guy is already whining, wait until he gets thrown into the general population and the other guys find out he is a baby killer...


Answer:
It is when the potential for generalizations like this arise that I feel the need to say--There are jerks and morons everywhere.
Are there unhealthy vegan children?--Yes.
Are there unhealthy vegetarian children?--Yes.
Are there unhealthy omnivore children?--Yes.
I highly doubt these people were truly vegan anyway. Vegans try to avoid causing suffering to living beings. They were NOT doing that for their son.
They sound like fools who jumped on a bandwagon (in this case veganism) because it sounded cool without doing any of the research that goes into what it really means to be vegan, etc.


Answer:
How sad!
AS the mother of a child who had horrible, horrible allergies as an infant, I know that there are infant formulas that are soy based. We used them for Helen after she stopped breastfeeding at 4 months old (her choice, not mine ) and the normal infant formulas seemed to be causing her asthma issues. I can't remember the name of the one we had to use but it was terribly expensive and necessary for her. If soy is an acceptable infant formula, then these so called "parents" should have provided it, but in a form that works for infants, not adults! This is sick, sick, sick and I totally agree with you, Pam.

I guess they should be the ones to answer my questions. What do vegans
feel is acceptable to feed an infant or toddler? Do they believe in vitamins
for children, or what about vaccinations? The list could go on & on

People become vegans (they eat no animal products at all- no meat, eggs, dairy, or by-products) and vegetarians (most common kind eats no meat or fish, but eats eggs and dairy) for very different reasons. For some people, it is an ethical decision, for others, it is purely for health benefits.
Therefore, to ask what vegans feel is right to feed a child isn't really applicable- you could get hundreds of answers. The people that did this to their poor baby were obviously very uneducated and negligent in other ways, too. If they had taken their baby to a doctor, for example, surely something could have been done before this poor baby lost his life. It's so sad that children die because there parents are too incompetent to care for them properly.

I think you were right about this. I did find an article in the Chicago Tribune
on this subject & between the article & the comments to the article, most
all of my questions were answered. Thanks.
