Are there any pictures of these two geniuses?
I'd like to see what the idiots look like.
I had a cat when I was a kid eat peas..
But, there must not have been anyone around to tell these two the difference either like a grandparent, doctor, friend with kids, etc. or else they wouldn't listen.
Very sad.
I remember when my daughter was in 1st grade, I would go eat lunch with her sometimes. When I went, I brought cheeseburgers & fries for the two of us which, of course, she loved.
Once, one of her classmates and her father sat at the table with us. They had some kind of granola crap and crackers that, I swear to God, were black. They both had that pale, undernourished look that you often see on people who don't get enough protein.
Give the kids some meat. They need protein to grow and build mass. Total nuts.
Whatever happened to balance?
“A 6 week old baby weighing 3 1/2 pounds is not right. The baby probably weighed more when it was born.”
Probably true. But quite probable that the child had defects related to insufficient prenatal nurtrition on the part of the mother.
Maybe the couple are white and restorative justice was applied in the decision. Under restorative justice, whites would not be granted the benefit of the doubt that they were just too dumb to know better.
It said they were giving him soy milk, not soy formula.
I think a baby wouldn’t be able to properly digest soy milk, just like they can’t really digest cow’s milk.
This isn’t really a “vegan” thing. At 6 weeks the baby isn’t going to be eating any meat anyway — we didn’t feed our child any meat-like stuff for a year (we did breast-feed, and did the normal peas, rice, etc).
Apple juice is OK for babies, I wouldn’t at 6 weeks, but it’s no substitute for formula.
Their mistake seems to have been not using a baby formula. That’s not a “vegan” thing, that’s a leftie “evil formula company” thing in all likelyhood.
Gives me an idea for a new tag line....
The olives? My wife's cat sucks the pimento out and leaves the olive.
They probably didn't like "factory-made" capitalist stuff.
My 6-month old granddaughter has been on soy formula since her first few weeks after she showed signs of lactose intolerance very early. The kid has thrived on that stuff and looks like a little sumo wrestler. A very healthy and happy baby. But soy infant formula is fortified with the kinds of vitamins and minerals an infant needs in their diet. These moonbats probably just went to the health food store and got soy milk made for adults.
Still my daughter took from her everything she needed (my wife lost more than 25 pounds).
The second pregnancy started while my wife was nursing so the condition did not start until later (8 weeks) adn we went very quickly on a strong anti nausea drug (the name escapes me but its for chemo patients). She still needed iv fluids but only *really* suffered for weeks 10-16.
The moral is the kid will take what it needs from the mother.
Your indignation is well-placed. There was a similar case some years ago in Cleveland, when a couple of einsteins tried to raise their toddler son on the "brown rice diet." He was pulled from the imbecile parents' home with massive malnutrition, but fortunately survived. The parents were convinced that they were the injured party, vicitms of the unenlightened oppressors in charge.
What can one say that's printable. Not much.
Probably Zofran or Kytril.
I Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
I Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
I Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
And in Genisis 18:1 to 8 , God ate a calf, "tender and good", ate bread with butter and drank milk, just to make sure this doctrine is crystal clear.
Breastfeeding actually doesn’t do a lot of good in these cases. There was one a while back where a baby suffered permanent brain damage from malnutrition after being exclusively breast-fed by his vegan mother. People who are wacko enough to do this to an infant have invariably been strict vegans for many years, and are thus significantly malnourished themselves. A woman can’t put anything in her breast milk that isn’t in her body. Needless to say, there are plenty of nutritionally complete soy baby formulas on the market, but I’m sure that wasn’t good enough for these idiots, and they had to use all-natural organic nothing-added soy milk from the “health food” store. And what a crock that they claim they didn’t know anything was wrong until minutes before the baby died — he was 6 weeks old and weighed 3.5 pounds! If he’d been a preemie born at that size, he wouldn’t have been allowed to go home yet, so obviously he had lost a great deal of weight since he was born.
True but they would be getting dairy proteins (which vegans wont eat) and also contain heavy calories. so yes, this is a vegan thing.
Apple juice is OK for babies, I wouldn’t at 6 weeks, but it’s no substitute for formula.
Juice, before 5-6 months, should be used sparingly and cut with water. Apple juice is a dieretic which is not something you want to give to a baby with dietary problems. I give my daughter a little grape juice with her cereal (she is 6mo) to counter any constipation she might encounter.
That’s not a “vegan” thing, that’s a leftie “evil formula company” thing in all likelyhood.
Actually there are organic formulas with no animal proteins out there (earths best comes to mind) but they would contain but it is unnaturally supplemented with things found in animal protein (like B-12) so again this was probably a vegan thing.. And a stupidity thing..
