One doesn’t simply put a dietary practice ahead of a child’s health unless that practice comes from deeply held religious beliefs.

Which deeply held religious beliefs trump a child's health? IMO "faith" healing is criminal.

I’d better clarify what I mean before I get pounced on. Not taking a child to a hospital because of a belief that god will step in and perform a miracle is criminal. Faith healing in and of itself is fine assuming the healing actually occurs.
