A vegan couple just got life in prison because their 6-week old child starved to death after they fed it only soy milk and apple juice following a strict vegan lifestyle. The couple apparently never brought their child to a doctor either, so it's not just the vegan issue. Though soy milk as a replacement for formula is dangerous for kids as the phytoestrogren effects are enormous.

It makes me wonder how fair it is to impose our beliefs on our kids like this. I know people in all religions do it, such as refusing blood transfusions for their kids, but is adherence to our beliefs worth it? At what age do kids get their say in this? Parents slam their religion down their kids throats without ever allowing the kids free will.
