Omnivores, what is your opinion on the cases where omnivorous parents are charged with murder of their child?!

I like how when the boot is on the other foot, omnivores get all outraged but if a vegetarian or a vegan has a child that dies of starvation, all of us are to blame. Hypocrites.

Look, I am a vegetarian but I don't see what point you were making here. The parents in these cases did not make "choices that they all felt were right, healthy and safe" about their children's diet. They neglected to feed them and they died of starvation.

I think there are many strong arguments for vegetarianism, but I don't think the argument "if you are omnivorous, you are more likely to forget to feed your children" is going to hold much kudos.

I think we need to stick with the arguments that we can back up with hard evidence - animal cruelty, environmental damage, international poverty and health benefits.

EDIT - Oh, ok. I see what you did now. Out of context it was confusing.

What does food lifestyle have to do with how I feel when a parent neglects their child to the point that the child starves?

I have a feeling the only reason the other children were even fed was the fact that if their parents forgot a meal then they could feed themselves.

It's really almost as bad as parents who allow their children to eat nothing but junk food and fast food, and have eight year olds who weigh more than three full grown adults.

This isn't a question about being omnivorous or not omnivorous. This is a case about neglecting to feed your child. Just because you choose to reject
I made a choice to give up meat a year ago and feel so much better because I made that choice. I would never force my child to be a veg*n, but give them that option and teach them the eating habits they need to be healthy as a veg*n if they make that choice in their life.

There is no question that these parents should be prosecuted but it has nothing to do w/ being a proper or omnivorous diet. Apparently, there was no diet, much different than parents who have fed their children a vegan or raw foods diet.

As an additional question... Why wasn't the father "Damone" prosecuted for child neglect in the last above case mentioned? Clear double standard.

Sorry but you have got to be one of the biggest frigging idiots of I have seen here to date! That says a lot because there are a ton of dumb people here but you my friend are really the most ignorant I have seen to date.

What in the hell does being a omnivore have to do with a starving child!? That is a form of abuse and is wrong regardless of the persons choice to be an omnivore or not!

Also, let's not forget that unless Communist like you get your way we still have a CHOICE as to what to feed ourselves and our kids. Not everyone believes in your vegan rubbish!

One of the most stupid rubbish posts ever!

Get a clue and get a life!

children should be fed properly, i don't think it matters if the parents are omnivores or not, as long as they provide a good and complete diet to their children.
The matter with vegans is that they think that man is not supposed to eat meat or animal-derived food EVER. No offense meant

Are you a troll? The parents in these stories seem to have deep rooted mental problems. Diet is about WHAT you eat not IF you eat. In these sad cases the children didn't eat at all.

How about the babies whose parents leave them in the car in the summer heat on black leather seats? Same thing.

I don't think much about those rare cases this days, my mind is occupied with what's happening on Libya, on Japan.

i see what you did there.
dietary choice doesn't have correlation with your sanity..

Those children died because of deliberate neglect and punishment, not because their parents believed in a particular diet mandated by a particular lifestyle.

These children were not fed at all. The vegan children from another question (to which this one pathetically attempts to equate) were fed a vegan diet by their parents but still died of malnutrition for the self satisfaction of the vegan parents of being true vegans. loyal to the "cause". I don;t see these parents saying" Well I fed them meat and they died anyway". A big difference you obviously cannot see because you too are blinded by your loyalty to being a vegan.

I am checking back and yes, the stupid parents of those dead vegan children did believe that being a vegan is more important than feeding their children adequate food. Hence, that is the part of fanatical mindless stick to the rules veganism that you and those parents advocate. Come back when you actually have a mind of your own instead parroting pro vegan websites whom you let do your thinking for you.
