A Nutritionist Weighs in on The Vegan Parents Sentenced to Death

Written by LaTara Ham-Ying on June 12, 2007 at June 12th, 2007

They are still talking about the parents who were sentenced to life for the death of their newborn infant. It just won’t go away and that makes sense. Why?

Because both the defense and the prosecution used a tactic that has caused an uproar in the vegan community. Not just the vegan community, but the health community as well.

This morning I read and article from a nutritionist who summed up the truth behind the death rather well. Read about it here:

Being a Vegan is not a crime and we should never assume that it is an unhealthy way to live. So I was glad to read this article. However, as with any style of eating there are things we must do for the health of our family.

On June 20 at 8:00pm EST we will have another expert, Joana Duran, speaking on Feeding the Vegan Child. Joana is a Registered Nurse and a Nurse Practitioner student in her final year at UCLA. She works with inner city kids and in rural areas of other countries teaching about nutrition so that parents are not misinformed as the two in Georgia were.
