By the way, veganism wasn't on trial here, but the fact that the parents

underfed their child. Howevere, these three paragraphs are interesting and

should be considered:

 

" During the trial Amy Lanou, author of Healthy Eating for Life for Children,

told the court that while the child's health might have been affected by the

diet he should not have died if fed enough food.

 

Sanders told police that she fed the baby organic apple juice and soy milk,

supplemented by breast milk. But the soy milk containers found in their home

clearly stated that soy milk is not to be used as a substitute for baby formula.

 

Their lawyer, Brandon Lewis, said he believed they unintentionally starved their

child because the apple juice worked as a diuretic and blocked the absorption of

nutrients from the soy milk. "

When you read things like that you must remember that french frys can be vegan,

but they certainly aren't healthy or nutritious and you can starve to death

eating nothing but them. People need to use comon sense.
