Quote by: LordCaelvan  Woah, woah. I never said I was against breast feeding. That's an exception. Keep in mind that I'm not a vegan (yet, just havn't made the jump). The only reason I'm against normal dairy is that it can be bad for the environment. It takes far more to produce a gallon of milk or a pound of meat than it does to produce like quantities of grain. Allow me to go on the record saying that I am 100% for breast feeding. Of course, like many unofficial groups, my specific views can differ from another vegi/vegan's. |
I know pikatore was accusing...But I was just curious, it always surprises me when breast feeding is found to be anti vegan, and I'd like to know whatever logic may be behind that.

And no, I cannot say that I agree that the diet was poor because it was vegan. Really, if these are the type of people that are going to allow their child to slowly starve to death over the span of six months, they obviously have something wrong with them. There are plenty of ways to feed a child a bad diet. It just so happened that the vegan diet was the smoking gun. And from my personal experiance, most vegans that I know use suppliments as part of their daily diets. I know I certainly do, despite the fact that I eat dairy on a daily basis (I'm a hypocrite, I know. I'll make the jump one of these days. If it were a couple thousand years ago, a vegan diet would be unviable. But just as it would be ignorant to claim other, it is likewise ignorant to claim that the same goes for 2007,

a) The child was dead in six weeks and the people I've spoken to say that considering the diet it's surprising he lived that long.
b) The fact that you have to take supplements to live that way kinda does imply that it isn't natural.
