A 7-month-old baby died when his health-food nut parents fed him a diet of quinoa “milk” and other gluten-free, lactose-free dairy alternatives, according to reports.



The boy’s mom and dad diagnosed him with food allergies but didn’t actually consult a doctor — even after the tot started gasping for air in his final days, Belgian prosecutors say.

“Not a single doctor had a dossier about Lucas and child protection services did not know about them.”

The boy, who was only identified by his first name, Lucas was just 9.47 pounds when he died in 2014 — half the size of the average baby his age, the paper reports.

wtf, why is this getting reported now?
