Babies need fat and cholesterol, their joints and brains especially. I work with a young woman who is a third generation vegetarian. She’s a tiny little thing-cute but with horrible skin. I keep thinking that never having animal protein might have something to do with it. For as much effort as she puts into research and planning her diet you would think that at 20 she would radiate vibrant health. She doesn’t. She is stiff and pretty low energy.
The mom in this article has bought into a false idea that will cause (or has done ) irreversible brain damage to her baby.
I knew a young woman who claimed she was vegetarian but would order pepperoni pizza and throw the pepperonis in the garbage. That still angers me. The animal was killed and for all her holier than thou beliefs, she threw in in the garbage. She’d eat pork ‘n beans until someone pointed out the “pork” on the label really meant pork. She was book smart but had no common sense.
