| Vegan mom starved toddler to death with diet of raw vegetables, fruit |
| 2022-07-02 |
| [NYPOST] A Florida vegan mother has been found guilty of murdering her 18-month-old son after only feeding him raw fruits and vegetables. Sheila O’Leary, 39, is facing life in prison after a jury convicted her Wednesday of murder and a string of child abuse charges over the 2019 death of her toddler, Ezra O’Leary, the News Press reported. Her little boy weighed just 17 pounds — seven pounds below average — when his parents noticed he had stopped breathing. O’Leary and her husband, Ryan O’Leary, told police that Ezra followed a strict vegan diet — but that he was also breast fed. "Are these Gluten-free?" They said the boy hadn’t eaten for about a week prior to his death and was having trouble sleeping. Sheila O’Leary and her husband, Ryan, were both arrested and charged over their son’s 2019 death. An autopsy found the little boy died of malnutrition complications. Prosecutors accused the mother of failing to seek proper medical care for her son when she realized he was ill. “She chose to disregard his cries,” Assistant State Attorney Sara Miller said during closing arguments. “She didn’t need a scale to see his bones. She didn’t need a scale to hear his cry.” |

| #4 This is a well proven theory. They have had adults just eat raw food and had to cancel the experiment after two weeks. They had to spend most of their time eating, never felt satisfied and lost 40lbs. We have cooked so long and developed organs (especially the brain) we simply can't survive without cooking our food. We can't get enough calories. Raw... 20% of the caloric value absorbed of the food Cooked... 80% of the caloric value absorbed of the food So go vegan if you want, but cook your food. |
