Human milk that is given willingly and lovingly to human infants, and by its nature is specially produced, and hence very suitable for them, is entirely vegan. No animals are exploited.

This is very true
It's a question, so how could it be true or false? :)

Vegans don't eat milk.
Apart from their own?

I'm really not sure if serious. Brilliant argument though.
What if a baby drinks milk from a woman other than it's mother? Vegan/No vegan?

Surrogate vegan

if the baby has a wet-nurse (as occurred more in the past) - non-vegan

Course he's serious you big pellets. Being vegan is about teh animals, not because you don't like the taste of milk.

I don't think mother's milk is veg-based.

It is full of broccoli

Obvs if the mother has just nailed a Big Mac, it gets complicated.

Not really, it's still milk, not beet juice.

I just quickly read some references, and as usual it's as muddy as a muddy thing, with some pretty nonsensical emotive reasoning from team vegan

Vegans don't eat milk.
Nope, that's a poor definition.
Amongst other things they don't drink/eat dairy products which is why they don't eat cow's milk, goat's milk, etc.
They can drink plenty of other types of 'milk': soy milk, almond milk, etc.

It's amazing how people often struggle with this simple concept (unless they're trolling :) ). The reason why vegans object to consumption of animal products is because they are generally taken from animals by force and/or violence and against their will (obviously, some people will want to deny that animals have a will that could be broken in this way, and consequentialists tend to have another argument altogether).
By contrast, human mothers, who wish to nurture their babies, more often than not give their milk to the baby willingly. Some can't for various reasons, e.g. they may not have milk following a birth, etc., and it would, of course, also be wrong to take a woman's milk from her by force if she was unwilling to give it. Neither wet-nursing nor milk banks present any problem, though. The milk is given willingly, and that's fine.

What about the friendly mushrooms? Their DNA traces back to the animal kingdom, not plant.
Go back far enough and we're all made of stars...

I think the point of focus would be that breast milk is a vegetable.

If you have ever miked a cow you'll see that their really not perturbed by it.
The industrial nature of the production is an issue though. Like all food production.

You're talking about ethical veganism, there are other reasons for going that route too.
Breast milk is milk produced by an animal, bottom line.
A breastfed baby is not vegan.
What the fuck
