Hey there, I'm new to the board, but wanted to contribute something that happened in my state this past week (sorry if this is a repeat post).

I am a social worker and I always find it interesting when these child welfare issues play out. Juries and media love to say that veganism, raw foods, etc always result in starvation. But the reason they make headlines is that starvation while a child is on these diets is SO far and few between. There are starvation cases all of the time but are always on meat-based diets. I never hear about these through media outlets.
Just like with any "alternative" diet, parents have to learn how to properly feed their kids since we don't have shelves of pre-made porducts to mindlessly put into our kids' mouths.
But think, one day raw foodists will be much more accepted in American society :)
