Oh. Yeah i think "abusive" is subjective so it can't be more than an opinion - even when it's the prevalent opinion.
However, as someone that caught a nasty tropical virus a longer time ago and since then is actually under careful dietary planning and supplementation by an internist - because I'm now more vulnerable - I would not recommend anyone making ideological choices for their offspring if that makes young kids suffer the same fate of having that quarterly blood screening, and continuous assessment of what you're ingesting and/or exposing yourself to, and the constant tuning as a result. It's time consuming, shitty if you forget it and a constant reminder of what feels as inferiority.
I'm lucky to have no other issues, because that could easily complicate things.

I agree with this but most vegans I know have experienced improvements in their health and have healthier than average kids. It would be very strange for them to conclude from that experience that they're doing something wrong.
That's not a statement that veganism is inherently abusive, which is the claim I'm objecting to.
Since they found that vegan kids were generally within all the acceptable pediatric ranges, calling it abuse is deranged.
