It's a LOT of work though. There are some nutrients generally supplied from animal flesh that need to be compensated for by eating more of certain things and even maybe supplementing.

Obviously these two had no business being "vegans" and trying to administer a strict "vegen" diet to their newborn.

They'll pay for their ignorance.
Yea, they were complete idiots.

I just did a quick google search and there are mounds of pages available that provide plenty of information how to raise a healthy happy baby on a vegan diet. These parents obviously did no research on the matter and I guess just figured that if it was okay for them, it was okay for the baby.
