Normally, I complain about how vegans tend to be another one of those groups that perpetually generate stereotypes. I've decided to be polite enough not to give examples.

Well, here's a rare occasion for us all. I received an article1 from CNN about the couple who starved their child to death on a raw food diet.

Here is the article in question in its entirety. )

You know parents starve their kids every day and that doesn't make news but the moment it is some kind of alternitave diet, the press and people scream bloody murder.

That's a good point... but the baby was said to be only seven pounds. I don't have children but I'm pretty certain she should've been at least double that. Whether it was the diet or the disease that killed her, these people may not have didn't do their job as parents.

Exactly, they didn't do their job as parents, it has nothing to do with their eating ethics.

I'm still pissed that CNN has sent me NOTHING about Heather Mills McCartney.
