Vegan parents guilty in infant murder 6-week-old died of starvation after being fed diet of soy milk, apple juice

The parents of a baby that died of starvation after being fed a vegan diet have been found guilty of malice murder, felony murder and first degree cruelty to children.
Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31, will get an automatic life sentence for the death of their 6-week-old infant, Crown. After being fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice, he weighed only 3 1/2 pounds when he died.
The Fulton County jury deliberated the case for about seven hours.
Prosecutors said it was a chilling case of murder by starvation, a painful and prolonged death. Attorneys representing Sanders and Thomas told jurors the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to their vegan lifestyle. Vegans typically live free of animal products.
"They're not vegans, they're baby killers," Fulton prosecutor Mike Carlson told the jury Tuesday during his closing arguments.
The couple's attorneys said they didn't realize their baby, born at home, was in danger until minutes before he died.
Vegans are evil! Kill baby
Vegans are evil! Kill baby
Agreed on both counts. A friend of mine down the hall is a vegan and it's just pathetic listening to her tell me why I shouldn't eat meat. Every day. Several times every day. Incessantly.Nick wrote:Demonization is a tame word to describe what this article's only goal is.
The parents are still retards though.
I always respond to her nagging by saying "I love the taste of grilled animal."

Tragic, but goddamn those parents are fucking idiots. Apple juice has natural laxative effect, which would take away from water and nutrient absorption. A vegan diet can work if you know what the fuck you're doing, but it is still far from a natural human diet and babies especially don't have the structure or strength to adapt to a vegan diet. Women lactate for a reason, and it isn't because they eat a lot of soy beans...but since it's an animal product, retards like these fuckers won't touch it.
Fucking vegan neo-hippy pieces of shit like this should learn their fucking lesson. WE ARE OMNIVORES, AND EVEN HERBIVORES DRINK MILK FOR FUCKS SAKE. END OF FUCKING STORY.

Wait... so she refused to feed her baby something that her own body was producing?
These two need to have their reproductive organs confiscated.
