i'm just here to say that i believe you don't have to actually consume animal products, supplements are just fine.

Comments in the article state it best;

When someone’s malnourished enough to die, I think one would naturally find that the person is deficient in a lot of vitamins.This poor child should also have been started on solid foods months before.

This sounds like a case of failure to thrive and an inappropriate, probably neglectful parental response. Failure to thrive happens to breastfed children, no matter what their mothers eat. It happens to formula-fed children. It happens to toddlers. It’s very common in preemies.

People who don’t know anything about this case shouldn’t jump to conclusions. There are lots of babies breastfed by vegan mothers who are just fine.

I think this all depends on the individual - the individual babies

I met a vegetarian family once with a little girl who had an eating disorder...
She was signifiganty overweight and consuming oily snack food like a ravenous animal...

It was obvious that she needed something...

Not saying she couldn't be raised well on a vegetarian diet...
But they needed to aggressively and activelty get the child whatever
...whatever it was her growing body needed...

many many different foods - beans - lentils - protiens - just whatever...

Your statement is false, I've seen people passing around sandwiches at a Zomboy show.
