Well, I knew you or someone close to you was a food nazi and that you were arguing from emotion, not intellect, thus the constant crutch of the straw-man argument.

As studies have proved, your daughter must keep a very close eye on her bones for the rest of her life, as she is in the high-risk group for osteoporosis.

And, as I said, if that's how she enjoys her life, and it was her choice, all power to her.

If obese people enjoy their lives, all power to them and the finger to the food nazis trying to shove their definition of the acceptable life upon others, and the finger to parents who starve their children to make themselves feel better, as did the parents in the news article, and which is still the real subject of this thread.

Food nazi is itself an emotion-charged term. Using it does not bolster your “emotional argument case”

Fact: Osteoporosis is rare in many parts of the world, particiularly Asia, where animal protein consumption is much lower than in the West. Here, with our high animal protein and high dairy diets, osteoporosis is pervasive.

My daughter was no where capable of making any such lifestyle decison on her own, as children should not be making any such decisons or choices, but guided by their parents. I will admit the parents were at fault for the vegan daughter. But as I pointed out to AmericanMom, the MSM medical propoganda machine loves to headline these freak stories; never the (rapidly increasing) amazing cases of alternative interventions.
