Although I think vegans are whacky, I have to comment on some of this:

He noted that the children’s mother also was thin — she weighed 115 pounds and was 5 foot 6 inches tall.

Unless she has enormous breasts, that sounds ideal.

She said the two older children were small for their ages because they didn’t have "animal steroids and other products that the average person consumes."

That may also be true. I have heard statistics that in one generation the average height in Japan has grown by something like three inches. That aint evolution there.

None of the children have been vaccinated, and the family believes in holistic medicine and were in contact with a doctor in Wisconsin who would explain to them how to treat their children after diagnosing them, the report said.

I think that is prudent as well. Anybody ever read the Susan Powter book on the subject? How many kids needed tubes in their ears pre-1980? Notice also that the kids were actually intelligent. Malnutrition, especially prenatal and postnatal would preclude that.

Actually, she's 15-20 lbs underweight for her height, if she is a slight framed woman. Recommended weights for 5' 6":

(small frame, medium frame, large frame)

120-133 130-144 140-159

115 lb for 5'6" is far from ideal. I am 5'6 and when I was in college I dieted down to that weight. I looked awful. At the time I didn't realize it - I was having some serious personal problems and was dieting compulsively to distract myself from them. But now when I look at some of the photos of me from that time, I just cringe.
