Mom sentenced to life in prison for feeding baby vegan diet, after baby dies

Allegedly the baby was not thriving on the raw vegan diet, was wasting away and losing weight, but the mother still persisted until finally the baby died.

Vegan Mom Sentenced to Life in Prison After 18-Month-Old Baby Dies From 'Severe Malnutrition' (thegatewaypundit.com), August 30, 2022, Cassandra Fairbanks

As additional circumstantial evidence against the woman, of the woman's other three children, two were in such poor health condition, their skin was yellow in coloration and one had such poor dental hygiene that their teeth were black. The remaining child, an 11-year-old and the oldest of the four, was in better health condition, presumably because she spent time with her father in Virginia where she was fed a proper diet.

Do you believe this punishment was fair?


Sometimes Veganism can be almost like a religion or a cult. The mom may have seen that her baby was not eating the Vegan food, but she still stubbornly refused to give her baby any animal products.

It sounds like a wacky ideology was to blame as much as the mother may have been individually culpable for this. The mom may have actually thought she was doing the right thing, with all the beliefs she held about veganism. It seems though those beliefs were incorrect. Just because some babies might manage to do okay on a vegan diet does not mean all of them will. You also have to be really careful on a vegan diet to be sure you do it right. Especially if there is a baby involved. Many medical professionals do not believe that there is any way for a vegan diet is healthy for a baby.


And on another unrelated note, don't you believe it's interesting that this woman was sentenced to life in prison for killing her baby, and yet abortion is seen as okay?
