Default Daily Mail: How a strict vegan diet made my children ill

The OP was about *one* case of a poor (as I'm led to believe from
subsequent posts, non vegan)diet. Whilst these single cases get the
limelight, relatively little gets reported on the *millions* of cases of
poor diet that affect children's health.

Both meat inclusive and vegetarian / vegan diets can be healthy as well
as unhealthy. - I wonder for every one unhealthy vegan diet follower,
how many unhealthy meat inclusive diet followers there are? My guess
would be a number *greater* than one.


Let me remind you that the article criticised _other_ extreme diets as
well, as it mentioned a high meat low carb diet (that would be the
Atkins' Diet, I think), so it was not aimed at vegans alone.

There were actually 2 vegan cases mentioned, the other one being the
kids of the Scottish vegans who developed rickets.
