This Italian Politician Wants Government to Force Citizens to Eat MeatBy Brandon Turbeville Savino argues that veganism lack[s], essential elements for a healthy growth and that parents who implement a diet plan of this type for children under 16 should spend up to two years in prison. Savino, who is considered center-right, said she put forward the proposal in order to protect children from radicalized parents, a need she sees because of the increase of adults in adopting vegetarian and vegan diets. Savino believes vegan diets lack sufficient qualities of iron, zinc and B12. The law would have parents facing one year in jail and two and half years if the child gets permanently sick or hurt as a result of the diet. If the child dies, the parents face six years. Although it is estimated that only 8% of Italians are vegetarian or vegan, a number of stories circulating in the European press, have reported what is being framed as cases of malnutrition as a result of a vegan diet. The recent attention has given Savino the opportunity to put forward the proposal. It is unclear whether or not Savinos proposed law will ever actually pass. Hopefully, even in Europe, there is still enough a sense of individual, parental and human rights from doing so. But what it does highlight is the increasing march toward the control of children and the infiltration and disruption of the family unit by the state and its forces. While such a law may seem sensible to some who have less of an understanding of the importance of keeping family and state separate to others, it represents an obvious slippery slope. If Savino is able to get her law passed, where will the dictates end? If a vegan diet is considered child abuse, what else might be considered child abuse by the state or by a bureaucrat whose only relevant sources for his opinion are his beliefs and his feelings? After all, what is Savinos position other than a belief? Savino is not a doctor, nor is she a nutritionist. She is an economist. Judging by the state of the Italian economy, it appears the experts in this profession are incompetent in their own field, much less, in someone elses. If Savinos belief that vegan children are deficient in nutrition despite her having no credentials or qualifications to make that claim, then why cant that same logic be applied to parents who believe their children should not take vaccines? After all, if you have a belief, you should make it into a law, right? Even more to the point Savinos belief is merely coming into conflict with the belief of vegan parents. So is the solution to elect a vegan MP who will then impose veganism on Italy? Or perhaps, Savino simply needs to set forth a new proposal to force each and every Italian child to eat at least one serving of meat per day whether they want it or not. Being an economist, Savino would be well aware of the amount of jobs this proposal would create. Just imagine, a nationwide army of scowling social workers forcing children to sit at the table until they eat their meatloaf. And another question. What is Savinos response to parents who would only feed their children meat three times a day? What is her response to parents who feed their children an overabundance of starches? Or fast food? Perhaps Savino would be better served to write up a bill that explains what children are allowed to eat, how much, and at what time of the day. She should then include a manual on how to prepare the meals with informational tips about what to do if the child is unhappy with the meal and criminal penalties if the meal is prepared improperly. Failure to comply could result in 20 years in prison or the death penalty. That way we can ensure that all of Italy follows Elvira Savinos diet plan and that no one has the right or the opportunity to decide what they put into their bodies and what they eat. Or, Savino could simply retract her ridiculous law and reaffirm the fact that in the 21st century, Italians are allowed to eat what they choose, and to raise their children in the way they see fit.

Thus spake Elvira (meathead) Savino! you should not be surprized if she gets the law trough. Euopean goverments are CRAZY!!! Apparently, this idiot has never heard of vitamin and mineral supplements or hemp/pea/whey protein. It should hurt to be that stupid. Veganism is designed to weaken the body. Let people sabotage themselves voluntarily. Itll give us meat eaters that much more of an edge. stupidity is not a virtue What a bullshit comment! Youve never heard of the globalists agendas? It is a ridiculous fallacy that eating pieces of animal will endow you with special powers that you wont get on a blood free diet! There is only ONE reason why people eat meat and it is because they are addicted to the taste of death. Obviously a vegan diet is not sustainable when its based on refined pastries and potato crisps. That will definitely be damaging to your health and mentality. Youve just proved eating meat retards your mental and emotional development Study eugenics. So.. I was almost certain that there was a mass extinction event coming.. May be hard to find meat in those days, maybe shell endorse cannabalism if only human meat is available? Seems like just another way to either waste resources implementing, and/or enforcing, something. Most, if not all governments are in need of serious reformation, in order to better understand and implement real solutions for their constituents.. Even if those solutions are just for government to get out of the way. I had been wondering why all this media hoopla lately about these 3 kids who became ill due to their vegan diet. One a newborn I think died because instead of giving the child human milk it was given GMO soy milk. I felt sorry for the kids but how many have others have died from baby formula? died from getting Mad Cow from being fed McDonald burgers? or especially from malnutrition. Because of job cuts, malnutrition a once rare problem is now normal. At a time when parents have to choose between paying the rent or going hungry, this lawmaker wants to make it mandatory for parents to feed their kids meat? How about the Italian government stop subsidizing large corporations to move to China? By the way, this is a prelude for mandatory vaccines. The Italian media is now hyping so-called unvaccinated children who got measles and the like. Was arguing with an Italian intellectual who told me I was just as bad as the Italian peasants in believing vaccines are unnecessary and that our governments would kill is for profit. Whats good for one is good for all, or else. Typical gubber.
