"...child taken away because the doctors were very freaked out that a 14m.o.
recieves human milk still (instead of cow's milk as they recommend), is
parented by attachment parenting methods and is fed raw vegetables, nuts,
yeast and such with no meat or eggs."
With respect to Rachel, I don't think we have quite got the definition right
yet. It really is the vegan diet the child is eating that is half the
reason he has been removed; the other half is the breastmilk. Maybe in
veganism human products aren't counted against the dietary principles--like
swallowing one's own saliva, or having the fetus connected through the
umbilicus.
It does seem to me that a vegan diet for babies would always include
breastmilk. Rather than being a contradiction, perhaps there's another
explanation from vegan philosophy.
