Unbelievable: Raw-food vegetarian ate steaks, report says.

Raw-food vegetarian ate steaks, report says

"A Homestead couple whose infant daughter died of malnutrition subjected the girl to ''cleansing'' enemas and punished their other children for straying from a raw-food diet -- even as the father smoked cigarettes and indulged in the occasional steak, according to documents released Monday by the county medical examiner's office.

Lamoy, 27, and Joseph Andressohn, 34, are charged with aggravated manslaughter for the May death of their 5-month-old daughter, Woyah. Prosecutors contend that the girl, who weighed seven pounds, died from malnutrition brought on by her family diet of uncooked fruits, grains and vegetables.

The couple's remaining children, who were also suffering from malnutrition, have been taken into custody by Florida's Department of Children & Families and are in a foster home."

Wow. This is almost beyond comprehension. Either LWOP or sterilization and permanent removal from their kids after incarceration.

3. Sad!
I hope that the surviving children are placed in loving homes and are able to recover from the damage that their flaky parents did to them.

4. See my posting under the "what's your most out there policy idea" thread
These people should go to prison and never, ever, be released.

5. Raw foodists can be extreme.
I was a raw foodist for awhile. It is really tough to get enough to eat.

I still go on a raw food diet twice a year for detoxification and I always lose a few pounds when I do it. It is definitely not a diet for growing children. That is a horrible story.
