"Made by a MP from Forza Italia to seek for popularity after some recent cases of child abuse over wrong vegan diets."
It should be noted that one of the two Italian "vegan" children that was widely reported about in the media as being a neglected vegan child was:
- not fed a vegan diet,
- was breast-fed by a mother who followed a non-strict vegetarian diet (including dairy, eggs, and occasional meat), and
- was suffering from a congenital condition (that had nothing to do with diet).
Whether this was ignored out of malice, or incompetence, I don't know, but at the very least, the media is keen to dole out unwarranted criticism of veganism. I suppose, "Non-vegan child hospitalised for congenital condition" probably won't generate as many clicks as "Child fed a neglectful vegan diet".
