There is a wide range of what could be considered a "vegan diet". If you raise a child on only vegetable, they will probably die. Of course if you raise your child on only hamburgers, they too will probably die. A proper vegan diet provides the body with what it needs. A proper omnivorous diet does the same thing. I've known several children raised vegan, and guess what? They're healthy fucking adults. The consumption of meat and animal byproducts is tantamount to the enslavement and slaughter of who knows how many millions of innocent lives per day. Is a human baby's life more important than a cow's life? Is a human baby's life more important than the lives of all the cows it will consume in its lifetime? Does the nutrition of a child outweigh the insanely abhorrent abuses that most factory farmed animals incur? Who's hungry for some Tyson chicken? Perhaps the death of this child has more to do with having never seen a doctor than being vegan. Also, was this child really even a vegan since the mother was supplementing with breast milk?

This tragedy was avoidable. The headline does not mention there were TWO OTHER CHILDREN. Someone posted a satirical video on saidit about idiots being the ones who are breeding. Too close to the truth imho.

Wow.

The American response to the US collapse is to deny that the USA is decaying, praise their beloved government overlords, and attack anyone who criticizes the government.

Americans scream anyone who loves freedom is a junkie.

Americans simply seem unable to recognize cause and effect.

If the government destroys the economy with regulations, Americans slam private charities that help the homeless.

If gas prices rise because the government increased gas taxes, Americans blame oil companies.

If the government bans coal power plants and mandates that everyone buy electric cars, Americans blame electric companies.

If the government wastes taxpayer money, Americans blame the media.

If the Gestapo arrest someone for smoking at Burger King, Americans blame Burger King.

When the government tortures Americans, Americans blame hospitals.

If the government fails to protect the border, Americans criticize a nonprofit that tries to construct a private border wall.

When the US starts wars that lead to refugees, Americans attack churches that help house the refugees.

When the NSA unconstitutionally wiretaps Americans 24/7, Americans criticize Google.

When the government starts a trade war that reduces US exports and raises prices, Americans criticize China.

When the government uses asset forfeiture, Americans attack the ACLU for suing the government.

When the government steals money at the point of a gun from taxpayers to fund food stamps, Americans attack Walmart for selling food that helps lazy people become fat.

Americans absolutely don't care that the government has outlawed everything, but Americans become batshit insane when they hear that private prisons have government contracts to lock people up.

Americans don't mind that regulations have destroyed the economy and has lead to homelessness, but Americans lose their minds that the Gestapo don't arrest the homeless for public urination.

Americans don't care that female circumcision is illegal, but Americans become outraged when they find out that male circumcision is legal.

Americans don't care that vaping is outlawed, but Americans explode when they hear that smoking is legal.

Americans don't mind that mobile phones are banned while driving, but Americans lose their heads when they hear that people can use mobile phones while voting.

Americans don't mind if they are forced to have an ID to buy a gun, but Americans become livid with rage that you aren't required to have an ID to vote.

Americans don't care if taxes are high if wetbacks are deported.

Americans scream forcing hospitals to list prices means freedom.

Insanity.

Living in a police state is dehumanizing.

Americans are just slaves, zombies, and sheep now.
