Vegetarianism
  • By Cathy Chang

Article
  • An American vegan couple were sentenced to life
    in jail today for the murder of their
    malnourished six-week-old son, who weighed just 3
    1/2 lbs when he died.
  • Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31, fed
    the boy, who was named Crown Shakur, a diet
    largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice,
    the Atlanta court heard.
  • The baby boy was born in a bathtub in the
    couples home and never taken to see a doctor. He
    was dead when his parents took him to a hospital
    across the street from their flat on April 25,
    2004. He was so emaciated that doctors could
    count his bones through his skin.
  • The couple maintained during the trial that
    they did the best they could for the boy while
    adhering to their vegan lifestyle, a strict form
    of vegetarianism which does not allow the
    consumption or use of any products linked to
    animals.
  • Ms Sanders told police that she fed the baby
    organic apple juice and soy milk, supplemented by
    breast milk. But the soy milk containers found in
    their flat clearly stated that soy milk is not to
    be used as a substitute for baby formula.
  • The couple were found guilty of malice murder,
    felony murder, involuntary manslaughter and
    cruelty to children.
