I don't know the words to express how much I hate 'the establishment' and what they have done to your family. As others have said, know that we are here to support you even if that offers little comfort at the moment.

Hi

I really would like some help. My ex is threatening to use me being vegan against me in custody battle - thinks it is illegal for some reason yet he has no problem being a pot smoker. Does anyone know of cases where children have been removed because they are feed vegan food or is there more to it with the cases both here and in America - really woud like tohear from anyone.........thanks

Might be useful if you and children have full regular medical check ups, in case it comes to that.  this i imagine would be acceptable evidence that you are not being negligent.  Maybe vegan society or someone here can recommend sympathetic doctor, otherwise i would just visit a doctor i feel comfy with and request a full checkup, you don't even need to mention diet, and i wouldn't unless it came up - obviously some people have reactions to the term vegan, so you might want to excercise caution....the word vegetarian is much more acceptable to general folk, and if a dr asked you could use that term instead...wise to be cautious when it is about your children, but if ex was to bring this to court it should help you to have official 'evidence' of health.
 
good luck.

http://www.thegardendiet.com/news/article-andressohns.html i found this a couple of days ago. its just so wrong!
sergei said at one of his talks that child services came around to check on him and valya and they just told them they had mc donalds when they were asked what they eat and they left them alone. storm has raised his children raw vegan and they are perfectly healthy. last night on the news two parents were arrested for not feeding their children, the problem is that they don't realise that raw food is food and the children are being fed the best food! and what about the parents who feed their children so much that they are overweight and facing health problems and teasing at school, are unable to walk and exercise.

i think it should be taken to the media, maybe there's some vegan lawyers out their who can represent people properly.
