I would have to say that in the case of these parents, it wasn't that they are vegan, it's that they are neglectful. It wasn't that the diet was vegan, as it is possible to survive on a vegan diet (in fact, it is important to, not that many realize that at this poitn). It was the fact that the diet itself was poor.

If it's bloody difficult to raise a child on a vegan diet as you even admit, why commit to such a ridiculously restrictive diet? And why impose such extreme eating habits on your siblings?

These people feel the same way I do. One, it is morally wrong to eat the flesh of another being, human or not. Two, the ecenomic and environmental inpacts of the meat industry make it completly unacceptable to be anything except a vegitarian/vegan.
Catholic parents raise their kids Catholic. Kind parents raise their kids to be kind. Vegan parents raise their kids to be vegan. You can't expect them to act as though their lifestyle is the one lifestyle that can't be passed on, simply because you yourself don't agree with it.
Keep in mind, I'm not defending the neglectful parents, I'm defending the vegan parents at this point.
