I want to know about you guys .... How many of u accept that milk is vegetarian?

Answer 1

Milk is the nutrient liquid secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals (including monotremes). The female ability to produce milk is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to digest more diverse foods. The early lactation milk is known as colostrum, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many diseases in both the mother and baby.

The exact components of raw milk varies by species, but it contains significant amounts of unsaturated fat, protein and calcium. Aquatic mammals, such as seals and whales, produce milk that is very rich in fats and other solid nutrients when compared with land mammals' milk.

Humans, like other mammals, can consume mother's milk during their infancy. In many ethnic groups, people lose the ability to digest milk after childhood (that is, they become lactose intolerant), so many traditional cuisines around the world do not feature dairy products. On the other hand, those cultures that do tolerate milk have often exercised great creativity in using the milk of domesticated ruminants, especially cows, but also sheep, goats, yaks, water buffalo, horses and camels. For a millennia, cow's milk has been processed into dairy products such as cream, butter, yoghurt, ice cream, and especially the more durable and easily transportable product, cheese. Industrial science has brought us casein, whey protein, lactose, condensed milk, powdered milk, and many other food-additive and industrial products.

Human milk is fed to infants through breastfeeding, either directly or by expressing the milk to be stored and consumed later.

The term milk is also used for non-animal substitutes such as soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, and coconut milk, and even the regurgitated substance pigeons feed their young, called crop milk, which bears little resemblance to mammalian milk



WITH THIS IN MIND I WOULD SAY IT COMES FROM VEGETABLE SOURCES

Answer 2

Milk is a neutral diet. Nor acidic neither basic (pH level 7.4), nor non veg, neither veg.

Hen is not a carnivore. It eats grains, grass, aah! and all sorts of things that cows and buffaloes eat. Egg is considered non veg although some are vegetarian. Eggs which are vegetarian does not contain chick inside.

Answer 3

Milk is considered veg only in India. Actually , even veg. people who eat milk products are called Lacto-vegetarians.
Similarly ,people who take eggs but no meat, are called
Ovi-vegetarians.

Answer 4

me personally I don't care but my brother is a veg. and he won't drink milk because it comes from an animal. He wont even eat refried beans, because it is cooked in pig fat. So by this idea I would have to say no milk is NOT vegetarian, since you are still exploiting an animal, for your benefit.

Answer 5

as far as vegetarian goes, milk is non vegetarian because its not meat, its dairy. but eggs are the beginning of a living thing therefore they are considered non veg.but then theres vegans who dont use any animal products they dont have milk or eggs either.

Answer 6

if u leave milk for few days nothing will come out of it, its a non-living byproduct of cow. But egg of chicken is just like a child in mothers embroyo, so u r killing a chicken( which will be living) which is yet to come out of egg in due course of time.

Answer 7

The way I understand it, vegetarians will consume milk and eggs, but vegans will not.

Answer 8

Milk does not contain life its not meat but certainly its body fluid. You can give your rational and argue this for ever like what comes first chicken or egg? I do not see benefit arguing over this matter. Just eat and drink what ever is healthy and you think is good fro you. Spartan

Answer 9

milk and eggs are vegetarian regardless of the animals diet. Vegans do not even eat the produce of animals such as milka and eggs which are dairy products. you are mixing up vegetarian and vegan

Answer 10

You steal that milk from that cow...it cannot be something a pure-hearted vegetarian could do!!
