You cannot create and nourish a robust baby merely on foods from plants.

Thats not true at all. When I read the first post I was worried that every meat fanatic would come in and gripe about veggies. The fact is that these people are stupid. They are also american. I'm not suggesting any link just as I don't think there should be any link between them being vegans and them killing their baby.

A vegan diet may lack vitamin B12;usable vitamins A and D, found in meat, fish, eggs and butter; and necessary minerals like calcium and zinc. When babies are deprived of all these nutrients, they will suffer from retarded growth, rickets and nerve damage.

If we are in good health, not eating too many refined carbohyrdates and fatty nonsense that cloggs us up there are nice freindly bacteria in our intestines that makes vitamin B12 for us. Isnt that nice.
As for the other vitamins and minerals fresh fruit and veg straight of the plant are the best source.
