Vegan, schmegan

David Koon reports:

Not that anyone reading the Eat Arkansas blog is in danger of converting to a vegan diet (that is: no meat, but also no eggs or dairy products), but in this interesting article from the New York Times — and in light of yet another recent case in which strict-Vegan parents literally starved their infant to death on a soymilk- and apple-juice-only diet — dietitian and author (and former vegan) Nina Planck explains why babies need meat for good physical and mental development.

There was an episode of House where naive young parents nearly killed their baby with a soy milk and fruit juice diet.

I hear there's also a big move on now to avoid wheat. Lots of folks, who have no wheat intolerance, are none-the-less going off bread and all wheat products.

Lord save me from crazy diets.
