(NaturalNews) In the latest outrage of the global "vegan police" striking out against those who follow a healthy diet, a couple in France is now facing up to 30 years in prison because they refused to feed their baby junk infant formula and instead breastfed her. The baby died at 11 months of age, and when ambulance workers arrived and found the baby dead, instead of consoling the parents, they called the police. Why? Because the parents were vegans.
And because the parents were vegans, an autopsy was performed that found the baby was deficient in vitamin A and vitamin B12, which the deputy prosecutor claimed could have been related to the vegan diet of the parents. The couple has now been charged with "food deprivation followed by death" and faces up to 30 years in prison.
Just so you're getting all this straight, keep in mind that if the ambulance had shown up and found a dead baby in a family whose cupboards were stuffed full of junk food and fast food -- sugary cereals, McDonald's food wrappers, frozen pizza, ice cream and donuts -- that would not have seemed suspicious at all. You could have a baby die with a half-eaten bacon double cheeseburger in its hand and that wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. It is only the fact that the parents were vegans that the police were called.
And what's this business about performing an autopsy to determine if the baby was deficient in important nutrients? Do you realize that 90 percent of the babies in France and America are severely deficient in at least one other crucial nutrient such as vitamin D, magnesium or zinc?
If having a vitamin-deficient baby is a crime, then virtually all the parents who consume mainstream processed food diets are criminals. But of course, prosecutors never demand autopsies for the babies of parents who eat processed junk foods. That's considered "normal." Only the vegan diet is considered "dangerous" even though vegans actually go to great lengths to protect the health and safety of their children.
Vegan children, for example, are not obese or diabetic. They don't die of cancer at age 7, either. Yet all this is increasingly common among children whose parents feed them cheese, bacon and pork sausage. But raising an obese, overweight child on animal products isn't considered a crime, only feeding a child raw fruits and vegetables is.
The state doesn't check all the other babies that have died for nutritional deficiencies. If most other babies and children who died of cancer, for example, were autopsied, they would probably find that they are malnourished and their bodies are full of toxic chemical additives from processed foods and meats (sodium nitrite). They'd probably find evidence of damage from aspartame or MSG, too. Kids who die after eating processed junk foods are considered "normal." It's only the kids who die while on a healthful plant based diet that raise suspicion.
It seems that breastfeeding a baby while on a vegan diet is now a crime punishable by 30 years in prison, while feeding a baby processed junk infant formula and chemically-adulterated meat and animal products is perfectly acceptable. For the first time in two centuries, the current generation of children in America may have shorter life expectancies than their parents, according to a new report, which contends that the rapid rise in childhood obesity, if left unchecked, could shorten life spans by as much as five years. It's "normal" to see an obese, diabetic 16-year-old heart disease patient in the hospital. This is true in France just as it's true in the UK or the USA.
Junk foods and processed animal products are now so widely consumed that avoiding them in favor of a diet and lifestyle that actually gives you a quality and quantity of life, bar-none, is unacceptable by society today.
