Death by Veganism
- Death By Veganism
- A New York Times article by Nina Planck on the dangers of giving your baby/infant a vegan diet.
I don’t usually post links in the fashion (or any fashion really) here, but this is a topic that has on multiple occasions sparked serious discussion on this blog. I felt it was good enough to post this. Nina, a former vegan, felt it was irresponsible for vegan parents to give their newborn a vegan diet because the diet lacks essential nutrients the baby needs to grow. It even resulted in the recent death of an infant, the third in four years.
I think the link is a worthwhile read for anyone, vegan or not, because it provides some nice insight from someone who was a vegan herself.

If god didn’t want us to eat meat and plants we wouldn’t have molars AND cuspids. Jerks. I vote we grind up all the vegans into dog food. OH CRUEL IRONY.
