Imposition of beliefs on others is just wrong

So your response to my point that you are wrong is to agree that you are wrong. Excellent, we are getting somewhere. They are not vegetarians as you stated originally, but omniverous and eaters of meat. So glad we cleared up the fact that Chimps and Gorillas kill and eat other animals. I notice, once more, that you cite no sources. Why, are they too hard to find. My point is not that you can develope on a vegan diet, (Note, not a Vegetarian Diet, which is a completely different thing). You also agree that suppliments are required. These suppliments aare not available in the wild, so guess what, I am right. Veganism is dangerous unless sufficient artificial and processed suppliments are provided. At least you are finally seeing that I am right and that you are in agreement with me. To sum up. Chimps eat meat - you agree. Gorillas eta meat - you agree. Vegan diet is insufficient for healthy living - you agree. (Vegan diet suplimented with pill et al is ok, but the basic diet leads to malnutrition.)

This is what I stated:"Tell me, just how much meat do other primates eat? Chimpanzees, Gorillas, with their 'forward pointing eyes' and 'sharp teeth'? The answer is very rarely. And I am not sure they would feed any of the meat to their babies since what footage I have seen of them doing so seems to be a male only event." I then provided links that stated that they eat meat about 5% of the time, and that it is mostly males who do. I then pointed out that the report you linked to stated that a cooked vegan diet would have returned the child to normal growth and that it was the uncooked nature of the diet, not the fact that it was vegan that did the damage thus countering your assertion that a vegan diet is inherently bad. I dont know whether you are having trouble reading, understanding, or accepting when you are wrong, but for sure, its one of these.

Breast milk generated by a vegan diet.

Note my added emphasis. You seem to be missing the difference between eating a small amount of meat (Enough to get the necessary nutrients) and eating none at all.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)In fact Janeists never eat meat. Go wiki it. And they have perfectly healthy kids. The fact is that breast milk regardless of the mothers diet is not good enough to feed a child on entirely to such an age. Fact. Accept it and stop throwing up pathetic arguments.

This thread is about vegans. You're advocating that non-vegan breast milk is also insufficient, so let's see some evidence.

The article itself shows that vegan breast milk lacked the necessary nutrients. Either bring some evidence, or accept it.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Yeah, sure Ian. It clearly stated vegan breast milk is lethal, thats how her other kid isnt 6 years old or some such and living quite happily. :laugh: --edit-- Oh, let me write your next post for you: "her 13 year old child was born before they were vegans" :laugh: Yeah sure Ian. All those vegan women in the world, all having babies, and all of them dying before they reach the age of one. Funny no ones noticed this before isnt it. Perhaps you should publish your remaarkable findings Ian, I am syure the world wil be ever gratefull to you for saving so many babies from malnutrition and death.

The vitamin deficiency of a vegan diet is well established, and those parents weren't taking the necessary supplements that would have made everything just fine. You're just trying to twist my argument into to something you can disprove. Now I'll say one last time... If you're going to argue that the breastfeeding itself, regardless of the vegan diet, was the problem, then present some proof. Otherwise, this is just another AGW debate, and I'm tired of hopelessly trying to drill logic into your head.

Why you pompous arogant twat. You talk of logic yet you ignore the fact that there are loads of vegans in the world with healthy kids. What killed the child in this article was neglect by malnourishment. That happens to babies across the world regardless of their parents particular diets.

Chimps do not eat meat rarely as you state, it forms a very large proportion of their diet. The difference between your original statement and the truth is this. Yes, gorillas are PREDOMINANTLY vegetarian, but they do eat very small amounts of meat, to SUPPLIMENT the diet with the necessary nutrients. Regardless of how small the amount of meat is in the proportion of the diet is irrelevant, the fact they eat even that small amount means they are omnivours. End of story. I also stated that a purely vegan diet is bad. You disagreed, claiming that vegans took suppliments. That is a completely different thing. They are then Vegans with suppliments, not Vegans without suppliments. Without the suppliments they would be in trouble. Please think about this, you are responding to something that I never said. I did not say that a vegan diet with suppliments was bad did I?

At least this vegetarian group admits that humans are omnivores. http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/omni.htm[^] Gorillas are the most vegetarian primates and they have the long intestines and bulging guts to prove it.

If you are an adult human being who wishes to go against your genetic, evolutionary and biological heritage and become a herbivore, then fine. It is wrong to impose those insane beliefs upon others. What with our funny forward pointing eyes, our ripping canine teeth and our strange arrangement of intestines and enzymes, all there simply to kill and eat meat, there is a no reason to become bovine like and just eat those vegetables. However, when those beliefs lead to the death of a child because of malnutrition, then you have a problem Like these morons.[^] There are protiens and nutrients in meat that are vital for development of children. Nutrients that cannot be obtained from any other sources. When Vegiwankers abuse children like this and stop their brains form developing properly then they deserve all they get.

IDK it isnt something to threaten nor harrass people over, when done correctly veganism nor vegetarinism possibly supervised by a nutritionist nor a psych pro As far as being imposed on I find it much more that people are smarter then what you give them credit for Needless to say I wont be posting moi ap on here, for now!!!

Yeah, definitely. I was just pointing out where we were headed if we wanted our species to adapt to a more vegetarian diet. Big guts are sexy. X|

No, you said passing on your particular beliefs to your child, or imposing them on them is bad. What I objected to was you statement that it was their Veganism, a lifestyle you seem to find particular umbridge with, which killed the child. I merely pointed out that the child died of malnutrition which had nothing to do with the parents lifestyle choice. Yes, Vegans arent quite as big as meat eaters, the diet isnt quite as good, but its a long way form being deadly. I also pointed out that such statements as pointy teeth and forward looking eyes are no guaranteed indicator of being a meat eater. I might equally have used any other primate whose diet is entirely vegetarian like an Orangutang as well as a Gorilla. I also stated, quite rightly, that even though Chimpanzees do eat meat rarely, it is mostly the males that do, thus showing that an animal with an internal system extremely close to humans, with pointy teeth and foreward looking eyes, is perfectly capable of providing for its infant while eating a vegan diet. If you have a problem with Vegans, fair enough, but dont use the death of this child as a launch pad for your anti Vegan invective.

Yes, I looked at your links. 1) Chimps are canibal. Yes, we all know that. Doesnt have any bearing at all pn what I said. 2) Aparently animal flesh DNA found in Gorillas poo. But they have never ever been observed eating meat. I will suspect the validity of the study, and its the Jane Goodall Institute by the way, not Foundation, until I see visible proof. (Since DNA contamination is very very easy). My point rests attested. Veganism is not what killed the child and thus your rant was misplaced.

A doctor notes that a nine month old child has lost weight since its previous check up: And does nothing. A doctor notes that a nine month old child has bronchitis: And, effectively, does nothing. The sole purpose of such 'nanny state' checks is to compensate for the shortcomings of parents. Either of the above events requires the immediate monitoring of a child's care: Doing nothing is not an option. The doctor is as responsible for the child's death as the parents. Possibly more so, they were ignorant - the doctor wasn't. 'Brave New World' provides the only blueprint to child rearing that will protect children from the ignorance/stupidity of the family. We creep all too slowly towards that goal. BTW: I thought you were into evolutionary biology. Surely the miniscule human canines (compared with those of the chimpanzee) indicate that we have evolved away from rending our prey tooth and nail.
