2009-02-05, girl has “spine of 80y-old”

Veggies do a lot of things that are―lets be polite―“unhealthy”. And I do not really care about these things as long as its their very own health their risk. Things change if they risk the lives of people who are not old enough to be able to judge for themselves, favourably their own kids:

A girl of 12 brought up by her parents on a strict vegan diet has been admitted to hospital with a degenerative bone condition said to have left her with the spine of an 80-year-old. [...] The youngster, fed on a strict meat- and dairy-free diet from birth, is being treated at the city′s Royal Hospital for Sick Children. She is said to have a severe form of rickets and to have suffered a number of fractured bones. The condition is caused by a lack of vitamin D, which is needed to absorb calcium and is found in liver, oily fish and dairy produce.
