Some people are so stupid they shouldn't be allowed to have children. One of my cousins married a rabbit food nut, she is long gone now, and their son had the same kind of problems this Italian kid did. Women have to realize that when they are breast feeding the kid gets the same nutrients that the mother gets.
An adult body can take that kind of vitamin definciency for a long time before problems crop up but a growing, developing baby will get sick very quickly. Any kind of radical, weird diet is bad for you. When I was a kid there were four basic food groups for a healthy diet. Fruits and veggies, grains like bread and rice, dairy products and protein like meat and eggs. It worked pretty well back then, people were not as sickly as so many are today, and we didn't see as many fat people walking around like today. Three meals per day, almost no snacking between meals, no soda pop except as a treat once in a while, and a piece of pie or cake after supper. I still eat that way and if I would go back to work and lay off the beer I would get back down to the 150 pounds or so I was my entire adult life. And still no health problems, not even cholesterol.
Breast milk is all ababy needs to.6 months. After that, food needs to.be added, evn though milk will continue to.provide most of the calories. The food we eat B-) today is not the food we ate in the 40's and 50's. Yor are correct B-) hat snack f oids and soda are bad if eaten regularly. But so are breakfast cereals, frozen meals, and Packaged convenience food: white bread, white rice, pasta (except whole grain) are all digested quickly, laying down fat from the circulating sugars. It is very hard with 2 working parents to cook decent food for their families. Add on the crazy schedule of dance, sports, tutoring, music lessons, and everyone Grabs what they can.
But the breast milk that is needed in the first six months is from a woman eating a healthy diet. Breast milk from a vegan mom is not going to be enough for healthy development.
A proper vegan diet, with B12 supplementation is perfectly healthy and adequate for a pregnant, or nursing mom. But this lady tried to make the kid vegan, she returned to exclusive breastfeeding when he wouldn't eat veggies. After 6 months, milk Alone is totally inadequate.
Just my opinion, but a vegan diet is lacking in a lot more than B12
Among other things, it's SEVERELY lacking in BACON!!!!
That's where Democrats come from.
Meat isn't a main part of most Italian dishes. Fish is more prominent.
These parents didn't even give the kid fish. They're just freakin' stupid leftists.
Vegans eat nothing animal, even honey. They also don't wear leather, wool, or silk.
Probably!
So if I see a really skinny, deathly looking naked guy, thats a vegan?
Either that, or it's a metrosexual.
I think the metrosexuals always have a poodle or some such dog, that is how you tell the difference.
I haven't met an Italian yet who didn't like sausage with peppers, osso buco, salami, prosciutto, the list of meat dishes goes on and on.
Believe me, we LOVE the meat dishes, but in Italy, meat is very expensive, and the people aren't wealthy, that's why meat dishes are small and usually just one course in a multi course meal.
I'm sure it's tough to find a real Italian deli in New Mexico, but if you ever get to NY or NJ, check one out. The majority of the prepared foods available are vegetable dishes, mainly made with olives, zucchini, eggplant, etc.
Just watch Lydia Bastianich on PBS. Every other phrase is "we Italians love our vegetables!
Vegan Italian parents...? With all the phenomenal cuisine that comes from Italy I must postulate that they are clinically insane and unfit to be parents.
I have to say I agree. There are great vegetarian Italian dishes but this is just insane!
Like the crazy cat lady who tried to feed her cats a vegan diet and almost killed them.
Actually, the catthing was worse. Cats need lots of protein,and they don't eat stufflike nuts, seeds, quinoa,etc that contain protein. One can do a vegan diet, but it kust besupplementedwith Vit B12, and requires a fair amount of planning. An infant that re f2f uses veggies is going to have some serious problems. He is missing v itamins, minerals, micronutients and what protein the veggies have. Probably well meaning, but ignorant parents.
