NOTMILK - Utah Detective Solves Infant Vegan Death

 

 

Utah Detective Solves Infant Vegan Death

 

[...]

 

The state of Utah believes that children must eat

animals in order to remain healthy. During the past

year, Utah " stormtroopers " have gone into a few vegan

homes and removed children, placing them into foster care.

 

Here are the highlights of one such extraordinary case:

 

Dan, a child raised in a vegan home, died.

Matthew, a second child from the same family, became ill.

Fearing that a vegan diet was the cause of sickness and

death, the state of Utah removed Matt from his home by

force, and placed the little boy in foster care.

 

Vegan Tom Rodgers, ex-dairy farmer/cattleman, investigated

and discovered a remarkable secret.

 

Tom invested six months of his time and thousands of dollars

of his own money and resources (going broke during the

process) to solve the mystery of death and sickness.

 

Tom discovered that the home's heating system was venting

carbon monoxide. The gas leak made the entire family sick,

killing one boy and making a second son severely ill.

Utah authorities blamed it all on the vegan lifestyle.

In their bias against vegan diets, Utah authorities,

displaying Gestapo-like tactics, are refusing to return

the little boy to his loving parents, despite the

overwhelming new evidence.

I live in utah and know Tom Rogers so I read this post with interest. However, a vegan diet can be made healthy or unhealthy. I would love to know what the family ate. Did they supplement with B-12? Did they eat whole foods and give the children plenty of fat for their growing kids? Were they trying to give their kids all raw? It's a very sad situation. We can't jump to conclusion that it must have been carbon monoxide though. Some kids actually do die because of the *unhealthy* diet period (having nothing to do with veganism which can be healthy or unhealthy).

 

That said, it wouldn't surprise me that the state is at fault here. What evidence does the state have that the boys were undernourished? I'm going to try to find more information.

 

Thanks for the heads up.
