Roberts concludes: "Severe nutritional disorders, including kwashiorkor, marasmus, and rickets, were
seen in four children and were due to parental food faddism, (vegan and macrobiotic diets) which should perhaps be regarded as a form of child abuse. All disorders were corrected with more normal diets
and vitamin supplements.
seen in four children and were due to parental food faddism, (vegan and macrobiotic diets) which should perhaps be regarded as a form of child abuse. All disorders were corrected with more normal diets and vitamin supplements.In view of the potentially serious consequences of restricted diets (vegan and macrobiotic) being fed to children, families at risk should be identified and acceptable nutritional advice given. When children are found to be suffering from undernutrition due to parental food faddism a court order will normally be a necessary step in providing adequate treatment and supervision.
