Hi,

 

This is a weird one. Kids all over the world are fed on just breast milk for

6 months, even longer is some traditional communities.

 

Has the NZ vegan society made any comment about this?

 

Is it like the Americans reported not so long ago that lived on some weird

fruitarian and cod liver oil diet?

 

I don¹t believe it is just as simple as being vegan to fault.

 

To be honest, I support individuals *and* families right to let themselves

members die. A friend, also vegan, just had to make a big decision to go for

particularly nasty cancer surgery. It has made me think a lot about what

would I do in such a situation. Yup, vegans get cancer too.

 

Orthodox medicine guns after alternative in an astonishingly insensitive

way. Given what he has to face, I'd take death - may be after a long holiday

in Thailand.

 

I'd like to know more about the circumstances.

 

There is a danger with vegans as they can be pretty extremist nuts, as I am

sure we all know ... A good breft of the facts generally gets one through

sticky issues such as this.

 

Babies die, vegan babies die ... What are the relative statistics? Joe

Public herd and the media all to easily goes " woo-woo! " over individual

case sensationalism and is deaf, dumb and blind to the big picture.

 

If anyone knows I'd be interested.

 

John
