Is breast milk considered vegan?!


Question:

Is breast milk considered vegan?

If a vegan diet does not allow consumption of any dairy products including milk, does that include human milk?


Answers:
If human females were raised for their breast milk to be marketed to adults or made into cheese, then no, I would not consider that to be vegan. Breast milk is meant for human babies. That is vegan. There is no exploitation of an animal involved. It is a mother nourishing her child, and that is beautiful.

To say that a baby breast feeding is not vegan is as stupid as saying vegans cannot engage in oral sex. In fact, breast feeding is particularly important for vegan babies as they need the fat and protein from their mother's milk to develop their brains.

Absolutely not, a vegan cannot consume the bodily fluids of another animal.

Vegans are all wacko.. who cares what they think..

No, it is not. It is a product of a mammal.

Breast milk isn't 'dairy'. It's natural to the human body, unlike cow's milk.

No objections whatsoever. Breast milk is excellent for infants!

Our requirement of milk during everyday life is just weird. 'Milk' is provided by the mother at birth to help us grow, to make us strong. We've all been indoctrinated by media to consider milk with our coffee, milk with our cereal, milk in our pancakes etc. In reality, milk isn't there in nature for us to do that as adults.

Coconut milk and other nut milks are fine, it's just our reliance on 'milky' stuff that is so weird!

Breast-milk is completely okay in a vegan diet, assuming the milk is coming from a the breast of a human by her own free-will. Vegans object to the killing and enslaving of animals for human benefit; they obviously have no objection to a mother voluntarily allowing her child to breastfeed from her.

For vegan mothers who don't want to breastfeed, there are vegan baby formulas.

YES breast milk is vegan. It's the perfect food for infants & toddlers. This question comes up so often I sometimes wonder if it's for real.
God made mammals to nurse their young. Humans are mammals.SEE?
