[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vegan mother here that has successful EBF two children. Your child can be vegan and also breastfeed. It's compatible. You all are ridiculous.

Your children AREN'T vegan if they breastfeed.[/quote]

Just go away.  Human boobs are made to feed their children.  They are not "animal products" meaning animals that cannot consent to the use of their bodies for your food.  I guess under your logic if a kid picks his nose and eats a booger he's not vegan because he's eating an "animal product."  Stop being stupid.[/quote]

Ok, I'm borderline lactivist and wish more people would breastfeed, so I'm not discouraging the OP.  But breastmilk is an ANIMAL PRODUCT.  LOL.  [/quote]

Yes, but what is the point of bringing it up in this discussion? Just to engage in facile word play? Are you saying we need a new classifications for vegans who drink breastmilk?

If we take this to its natural conclusion, all breastfeeding babies are not only not vegan, they are cannibals! [/quote]

+100.  Seriously, people, the vegan understanding of "animal product" has actual principles behind it (that breastfeeding does not implicate) and you'd have to mind-numbingly literal not to understand that.  I worry for the critical thinking skills of some of these PPs' children.[/quote]

Seriously. I am not all that supportive of raising a vegan infant but even I can comprehend the fact that human milk is perfectly suitable for the vegan diet as there's no cruelty (well, I guess that depends on the mom you ask haha) and the person is consenting to it. These people understand as well but are just trying to keep stirring the pot. [/quote]
