a story was in the papers about an atlanta couple who just got life in prison. they are vegans and their 6 week old baby was severely malnourished. he was just 3 1/2 lbs. and he was only fed soy milk, apple juice and some breast milk. apparently the problem wasn't what they fed him but how much. when the police came their cabinets and fridge had nothing in them except for apple juice and soy milk. it was a such a sad story. i think they were crazy and that wasnt the usual for vegans. i know many vegan babies who are healthy, in fact i know no skinny ones. mostly because they are usually breast fed. i couldn't believe this story. but she probably couldnt breast feed because she was starving, herself.
