To me, starving a child is child neglect and is against the law but we better
be careful here about outlawing diets. There are lots of people out there
who think OUR diet should be banned. They think that it is a dangerous diet.
Since the tobacco and gun law suits, people have been looking around at all
of the fat people and blaming it on fat and meat in diets. They’re trying to
tie it to healthcare just like they did tobacco. Scarey. Wait until the
food police arrive at McDonalds–LOL.

The first quote was Ryan’s idea and wrote I agreed. The question is
the justification of what is considered a dangerous diet. And also, if
a diet is followed as it should be.
Veganism if unproperly practised (completely without protein
except some occasional beans) is certainly dangerous.
My two daughters are A’s and I never even mentioned them to
become vegetarians.
When I asked my doctor about the bloodtype diet ( O, of course),
she said I would miss a lot of nutrients if I went by it. Of course it
had to be thought over what sort of supplements are needed to
avoid insufficient nourishment.
So whatever the diet is ( not judging here if good or bad - one size
fits all - ) it has to be done carefully.
