I'm vegetarian but taking no dairy is way too unhealthy. every child is supposed to breastfeed. it's in our nature. dairy is food not friend.

Breastfeeding is better than bottle-feeding: truth. However, if the child is born lactose intolerant for whatever reason, they can not have either and need to be put on a bottled soy formula. You can also find nutrients usually found in dairy products in other foods; for example, calcium is found in broccoli and other leafy greens, and vitamin D, which helps to absorb the calcium (I think) can be found in certain nuts. Keep in mind I have only given one example per nutrient, and that there are many more sources out there.

Not all vegans refuse to breast feed. I know a vegan family who breast-fed until their daughter was 4, and a couple of others who breast fed for shorter time periods. The ones I know feel that breast-milk is different from other dairy because it was created specifically for their baby, whereas cows (or goats or whatever else) milk is for calves, not humans.

Ignore this comment,

Good point, Boatkicker. Though, I must say, 4 years seems a tad too long. I'm not trying to judge here; maybe they had their reasons.

the animals are killed for their meat because people demand them to be killed for it. or did you think all steaks came from old cows who died of natural causes after a long and happy life? it is a fact that most people eat way too much meat. 200 grams a WEEK is the recommended amount to stay healthy, and it can easily be replaced by other products. meat used to be a luxury product that normal people would only have on special occasions.
