This picture links to a New York Post article by therapist Dr Nicholas Kardaras which says kids’ can develop harmful addictions to computers, video games and phones.

Recently Ecorazzi published the article, A Proud Vegan’s Riposte to “The Vegan Cult” (which plays on the name Alex Proud, the author of a Telegraph piece on veganism which the article discusses).
I made a comment on this statement:
Mr. Proud, we are the only species that feeds on another’s mother’s milk and continues after weaning.
