Melaleuca
Hi all! Just wondering if any of you have heard of the company Melaleuca? If
so, I’d like to know any thoughts or experiences with these products?
Also, just to share what I heard yesterday (it was so awful especially since I
work at a Children’s Aid). A couple of a newborn child were charged (I think
they live in the US) for the neglect of their baby as they were forcing their
baby into a vegetarian lifestyle. They were only feeding the child vegetable
broths, homemade juices, flax, herbal teas and foods alike. That poor child!
No protein! Can you believe the ignorance. I think they said that the child
only weighed about 10lbs after a few months. I could be wrong on some of the
details as I only heard it on the radio but thought I would share this with the
group.
Anyways, we know how important proper eating is and I just hope the rest of the
world can be educated one day too : )

I think it happened right here in the state of Utah. The child was supposed to
be pure to be a prophet or some such thing.
The ideas of some poeple !

My mom swears by Melaleuca (both the company and the oil). At her
The baby you refer to got rickets (her bones are permanently deformed)
goading, I now use their laundry detergent. She uses a LOT of their
products (from hand soap to dishwasher detergent). They smell nice.
as a result of her parents’ negligence. Vegan activists piss me off.
We need to remember that for many of them it is a religion. One of my
good friends is a vegan, and he has admitted to me that for him the
lifestyle has a definite faith component. Better to think of them as
religious fanatics than maleducated nutritionists. I have explained the
health benefits of fish and eggs (He is Type A.) to my friend, and
although he sees the merit in what I say, he would rather suffer health
problems than eat an egg. That is how far it goes. His girlfriend is a
Type O vegetarian, and although he recognizes that she needs meat, he
will not encourage her to eat it for ethical reasons. For the
childrens’ sake, of course we must do something. The courts have held
that Christian Scientist parents cannot withhold standard medical
treatment from their children (like transfusions). Perhaps dangerous
diets could be subject to a similar exception to parents’ general right
to raise their children as they please.
Cheers,

Does anyone know any “old” vegans? It was very fashionable when I was
younger. Fortunately for me, I got hungry. Most of the people I knew who
were vegans ended up sick and started eating some meat protein. I guess
they’re ex-vegans.

Then they’re not vegans. They’re people who eat a lot of vegetables along
with their eggs and dairy products.
