Shouldn't the state start there? A person I know once said (and took back immediately) "poor people shouldn't be allowed to have children". This person didn't mean it as it sounds, but I get what the feeling ofandreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929452558720184266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-9359289831252087962011-04-03T16:11:06.139-03:002011-04-03T16:11:06.139-03:00I agree this isn't really about being vegan.

As a parent, if my son is ever ill, I monitor and gauge minor stuff, sometimes make a call to his Dr. if needed, but for a low short-term fever, or a runny nose, a stomach ache, I treat it with the same meds that his Dr. has prescribed in the past (like for us, Tylenol, decongex, plasil, etc) and this works Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157534345604450915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-32720999126121801602011-04-02T16:22:04.525-03:002011-04-02T16:22:04.525-03:00I totally think the state should intervene in thes...I totally think the state should intervene in these kind of situations.<br />I also think the state should intervene when and if parents refuse treatment for religious reasons for example.

I'm not defending these people, because they obviously weren't mentally able to take care of a child, but I think we need to consider that these people believed they were giving the child the proper Born Again Brazilianhttp://www.bornagainbrazilian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-49175489105089902182011-04-02T07:36:08.428-03:002011-04-02T07:36:08.428-03:00I think the statement "I dare you to attack a...I think the statement "I dare you to attack a Fast Food Momma who is throwing a bottle at her child because breastfeeding gets in the way of her bucket of KFC." made my a.m. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-46691001230091295332011-04-02T03:56:27.416-03:002011-04-02T03:56:27.416-03:00They did love better the vegan style than their ow...They did love better the vegan style than their own baby, and that's it.<br /><br />I don't like anything radical, you have to have balance in life, this is the real key for a happy (and healthy) life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088653199445917749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-67617105177682763742011-04-01T23:20:22.906-03:002011-04-01T23:20:22.906-03:00The parents are definitely idiots.
