Belgian Doctors Try to Save Children From Vegan Diet

It is one thing if moonbats want to ruin their health by eating unnatural diets for ideological reasons. It is something very different to impose a vegan diet on children. In Belgium, kids are literally dying from this moonbattery. Authorities may have to step in:

It is estimated that 3 percent of Belgian children are forced to follow the strict diet, which rules out any animal products, including dairy and eggs.

Last week the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium published a legal opinion in an attempt to put a stop to this.

“This restrictive regime requires ongoing monitoring of children to avoid deficiencies and often irreversible growth delays,” the legal opinion said, “It is unsuitable for unborn children, children, teenagers and pregnant and lactating women.”

Pediatrician Georges Casimir led the commission that wrote the report.

Professor Casimir warned that such a strict regime would now legally qualify as “non-assistance to a person in danger”, a crime which carries a sentence of up to two years and fines in Belgium.

According to Dr Casimir,

“When we are children, the body manufactures brain cells. This implies higher requirements for protein and essential fatty acids. The body does not produce them, it must be brought in via animal proteins.”

This may explain why so many moonbats are short on brain cells.

“We are talking here about stunted growth and psychomotor delays, undernutrition, significant anemia. Some developments must be done at a specific time in life and if they are not done, it is irreversible.”

However, Dawn Carr of PETA counters that this science stuff is “a load of ignorant codswallop.” Animal rights activists seem to regard themselves as better informed than pediatricians on the topic of children’s nutritional needs.
