I think this Law Firm should be taken to the court!
Read their post - Vegan Diet - A Case of Malnutrition
They do make a point that parents that don’t feed their children right should be punishable under the law. BUT there is a major distinction here. Parents who choose a Vegan diet for thier children have every right to do so. The article makes numerous accusations without any evidence whatsoever and they are a law firm! Can you believe that? Well, here’s why I think this law firm is a disgrace:
1. Artilcle says - There have been studies that show that when women avoid animal food their babies are born small with a slow growth process and retarded.
Says who? What study? I understand that it’s debatable that babies not be given breast milk and fed supplements instead. But I know many many people that grew up Vegans (I grew up vegetarian) and are very healthy and fine. Honestly, how many sick/malnourished vegan children do you know compared to sick/obese meat-eating children? There is no such study - this law firm is blowing up smoke.
2. The article says - Even though it may look nutritious and healthy, following this diet will lead to serious cases of malnutrition. Recently, the parents of a five-year old girl are facing first-degree assault charges for the seriousness of the malnourishment state that their child presents.
OK. First of all,I thought attorneys and politicians were diplomatic. Look at the wording on this sentence. This is ground enough for charging this law firm for false accusations and misuse of their status as the protectors of the law to make false claims. They never say whether the parents were charged. Anyone can get sued, it is a different matter altogether whether they were actuallyheld guilty.
Anyway, I could go on and on. The point is the Veganism is a choice that some people make just like others choose to eat meat. There are pros and cons to both, just like most other things in life. However, for some Veganism is right for them. In my humble opinion, this group of people is the majority of human beings. Caring for animals, conserving on the planet’s resources, following one’s instinct (that torture and killing are bad) apply to most human beings, regardless of what biased shallow law firms say.
