i am one of those people that when these new lifestyle things come up, i like to do research, i.e. veganism, kabballah, "green" occasions, and most recently scientology.
my sister is a vegetarian, so when i looked up becoming vegan for her, i realized it is seriously (for people not raised that way) a lifestyle change. i also noticed that it can be a bit restrictive for those people as well (not passing judgement). it is no joke, being a vegan. it requires research and concentration and discipline, or else you can get ill.
these people? umm, not too sure they did their research. they would have known what to do and what not to do. if you are going to introduce a lifestyle this different to an infant, you cross every t, and dot every i. and now they blamed their lack of preparation on a lifestyle that works wonders for people and is a respected choice.
i feel the punishment was a bit extreme, unless there was more damning evidence that these people straight out killed the child intentionally. i feel it was severe neglect, and 20 or 30 years or so would straighten them out.
