Det har hänt tidigare att spädbarn dött p g a att de givits en vegansk kost av förvirrade föräldrar.
Citat:
The couple were vegans, but in 1996 switched to a fruitarian diet consisting of raw vegetables fruit and nuts.
After Areni's birth on 8 September 1999, the family saw a paediatrician who said the baby was not developing properly, and that her mother's breastmilk was nutritionally deficient.
Other doctors and social workers warned against the diet.

Barn har också omhändertagits tidigare och befriats från sina veganska föräldrars vanvård av dem.
Citat:
A vegan mum who allegedly fed her baby only fruits and nuts has been arrested and charged.
Authorities rushed the 11-month-old boy to hospital where he was diagnosed as malnourished.
(…)
There are further disturbing reports that the child is now developmentally delayed as a result of being malnourished.
The baby “cannot crawl as a result of the malnourishment,” which also left him developmentally delayed, according to the court records.

Jag minns också en dokumentär nyligen där en moder blev stämd för att ha vanvårdat sin son – då i övre tonåren – med en strikt fruktdiet, som hade resulterat i att han blivit uppskattningsvis 10 centimeter kortare som vuxen än han hade blivit om han fått ordentlig kost.
