If parliamentarian Elvira Savino has her way, Italian parents who insist on a vegan diet for their children will risk up to four years in jail.
若意大利國(guó)會(huì)議員薩維諾的提案通過(guò),堅(jiān)持讓孩子吃純素的父母將面臨長(zhǎng)達(dá)四年的監(jiān)禁.
Savino, from the conservative Forza Italia party, has put forward a law that would hold parents legally responsible for feeding their children on "a diet devoid of elements essential for healthy and balanced growth".

"I just find it absurd that some parents are allowed to impose their will on children in an almost fanatical, religious way, often without proper scientific knowledge or medical consultation," she said.
她解釋?zhuān)?我只是發(fā)現(xiàn)有些家長(zhǎng)用近乎狂熱的傳教方式將自己的意愿強(qiáng)加給孩子,他們沒(méi)有聽(tīng)從正確的科學(xué)指導(dǎo),也沒(méi)有咨詢過(guò)醫(yī)生的建議,這著實(shí)荒謬可笑."
"Do-it-yourself on these matters terrorizes me."
"他們的這種自以為是真是嚇到我了."
Some pediatricians advise against feeding children on a vegan diet, which they say can lack sufficient nutrition.
一些兒科醫(yī)生提議反對(duì)讓孩子吃純素,因?yàn)橹粩z入素食會(huì)讓孩子缺乏足夠的營(yíng)養(yǎng).
Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry and vegans also do not eat animal products such as eggs and dairy foods.
素食者們不吃肉、魚(yú)、禽類(lèi),而純素食者甚至不食用諸如雞蛋和奶制品等動(dòng)物產(chǎn)品.
The law proposes jail sentences of a year for raising a child on a vegan diet, up to four years if the child develops a permanent health problem and up to seven years if the child dies as a result.
