Man, I know this is a troll thread, but I am still going to post.
The mother should have seen a doctor when she was pregnant or just after she had the baby to see if she needed to make any dietary changes so her child received an optimal amount of vitamins when breast feeding.
The fact is, she is probably doing veganism wrong by not eating certain things to obtain vitamins. But, she shouldn't have been arrested because she probably didn't know at all; she should be told to change her diet if she wants another child.
I do find veganism to be ridiculous, but so is eating mostly meat and no veggies (for humans.)
The human body and brain runs properly with eating moderate amounts of both, and unless you can find a good source of protein when eating all plant matter, you are not healthy.
The only reason our brains even got large enough for humans to do what they do is due to eating higher amounts of protein along with carbohydrates. Our very ancient ancestors started with insects and rodents and smaller primates. We then moved up to larger game as our bodies evolved to carry a larger brain.

>>4493703
Yet again, I said there is good to eating a diet with both meat and plants. Meat gives us a whole lot of vitamins that plants cannot. In fact, I know that we digest meat easier than we do certain plants, and are able to absorb more vitamins from it.

How the heck did my post come off to you all? I thought that I was saying a reasonable diet with both in it was healthiest.

Oh! My apologies.
I agree. Too many people here, at least in these sorts of threads, really don't understand the benefits of eating a balanced diet with both in it.
I love primarily lean meats too. I usually eat fruits and vegetables throughout the day and then have a little bit of lean red meat, chicken or fish for dinner. But I'll eat the occasional hamburger or whatnot if I want to splurge.
Some days I don't have meat in my fridge, though. But, it's not too hard to go without if it isn't there. An egg can do the trick if I really want some protein at that moment.

I doubt the child appeared pink and healthy one day, then just kicked the bucket the next. There has to have been signs that the child was growing weaker. Paler skin, sleeping a lot, not crying. Just because infants can't speak doesn't mean you can't tell when something's wrong with them.

Umm, no. No, they don't. Because omnivorian mothers' milk actually contains the fucking vitamins needed by growing infants.

My cousin, who was formerly a vegantard, was informed of this by her ob/gyn during pregnancy, and as a result began eating meat again, so that her child wouldn't die of malnutrition. This was about 20 years ago, by the way, so it's not like this shit was just discovered last week.

>> No.4495513

as much as I hate vegans, it's not the fault of their lifestyle that caused the death of their child, it's that they're dumb enough to exclusively breastfeed a child up to 11 months.

usually you need to start a weaning diet around 6 months of age, because the baby has depleted their store of iron and vitamins.

if you exclusively breastfed a normal infant for 11 months I think it would die as well.

fair's fair. it's not the fault of veganism, just 2 stupid parents, who are too dumb and shouldn't have been allowed to breed.

Protip : there is no such thing as a true herbivore.
Most "herbivore" animals have bacteria in their stomaches that decomposes plants and than digest these bacteria and the product of their doing (eg simple carbohydrates).

Fishing =/= Overfishing

>>4495932
It is highly unlikely that every single person on Earth wants to become a vegetarian. However, it is possible to try and promote fish and other seafood as an alternative to land-based animal protein.

Of course, direct overfishing, indirect fishing from the need to produce fishmeal as food in addition to waste water pollution and badly managed fisheries are going to be problems but it is hardly easy to just declare "Fishing is bad" and tell everyone to stop eating seafood.
