If Italian parliamentarian Elvira Savino has her way, parents who insist on a vegan diet for their children will risk up to four years in jail. Savino is from the conservative Forza Italia party. She's proposed a law that would hold parents legally responsible for feeding their children on what she believes is "a diet devoid of elements essential for healthy and balanced growth." On Wednesday, she told Reuters that she has nothing against vegans or veganism--as long as it is a free choice by adults.
