    It’s true that humans at all stages of life can thrive on a properly planned vegan diet, according to most major health organizations.

    Wait, including newborns? I mean, I doubt there’s a vegan alive who’s against breastfeeding, but for people who can’t breastfeed, baby formula isn’t vegan, is it?

    Not trying to rag on the point you’re making btw

      I think there is vegan formula, and using breastmilk is vegan since it’s consensually given, including breastmilk shared by other mothers

        the definition of veganism says nothing about consent, only exploitation. breastmilk is as vegan an cows milk.

          Maybe your point would stand if humans had been bred to massively over-produce milk and had their babies taken from them so even more milk could be taken from them for profit and they had no agency in how their life went, from being bred in captivity and then impregnated in order to cause them to produce more milk to being killed when they stop producing milk.

          This is a stupid take, even for you

            1. humans are animals
            2. veganism eschews exploiting animals
            3. drinking a product from a human is exploitation

            therefore

            1. breast milk is not vegan
