'It is estimated that 3 percent of Belgian children are forced to follow the strict diet'

'Forced'? A child eats what you give them. Every child's diet is 'forced' on them.

Fun fact: my child is TWICE the weight I was when I was their age. They're not overweight, just v tall and solid. They've been vegan since conception. I, on the other hand, on my childhood diet of oven chips and cheese with turkey twizzlers, was tiny and underweight to the point where no one would believe I was anywhere near my actual age. I remember going to get a paperround job and being told 'sorry, you have to be 11 to do this round.' I was fifteen.

Summary: malnourished people can die. Scapegoat: veganism, i.e. seeing, at a minimum, all animals as persons worthy of uncoerced dignified life Or: a threat to hierarchy, capital, institutional violence, etc.
