Vegan diets for kids is child abuse.
If that were true, something ought to have been apparent in their results. I think you should rein in the hyperbole.
That's not a statement that veganism is inherently abusive, which is the claim I'm objecting to.
Since they found that vegan kids were generally within all the acceptable pediatric ranges, calling it abuse is deranged.
Oh. Yeah i think "abusive" is subjective so it can't be more than an opinion - even when it's the prevalent opinion.
However, as someone that caught a nasty tropical virus a longer time ago and since then is actually under careful dietary planning and supplementation by an internist - because I'm now more vulnerable - I would not recommend anyone making ideological choices for their offspring if that makes young kids suffer the same fate of having that quarterly blood screening, and continuous assessment of what you're ingesting and/or exposing yourself to, and the constant tuning as a result. It's time consuming, shitty if you forget it and a constant reminder of what feels as inferiority.
I'm lucky to have no other issues, because that could easily complicate things.
Is big pharma an honest source of data? Is the US health system scientifically credible or riven with conflicts of interest and rentseeking?

Using low cholesterol as a positive health marker for kids (implying low cholesterol is better) is insane. Cholesterol, though a widely used marker, is not linked to better health. The only reason it's used is because there's wildly profitable drugs (with severe side effects) that lowers cholesterol. So they push it.
