Question for Vegans - (Esp. Females) If consuming milk is wrong, why are those glands on your chest?

Question

Design flaw? (Most Mammals have them.) Second-guessing the Creator?

Answer 1

haha...

hahaha....

hahahaha....
are you seriously trying to make a point?
I hope not...
First... I'd never say consuming "milk" is wrong...
Human breast milk...fed to a human(baby) is fine...
Cows milk fed to a human (adult)... isn't right...
Most vegan mothers try to breast feed their children... why? because that is what the human milk is designed for... baby humans...
Just like cows milk is designed for baby cows... not adult humans.

The reason I don't consume COWS milk is because
First, it is not meant for us to drink. It's not natural for us to be drinking the milk of another species. (it isn't even natural to drink breast milk past infancy)Human babies were meant to drink human milk (Who is second guessing "the creator" now????)
Second, I don't agree with the way dairy cows are treated... I'd rather have nothing to do with it. I'm not going to cause another creature suffering just cause I want a glass of milk.
Third... I don't drink cows milk because I really can't stand it... I can't even swallow it without gagging...
Fourth... I'd rather drink antifreeze than drink cows milk... It'd probably be better for my body in the longrun anyways...

Answer 2

Cosuming milk is not wrong, but it is for babies only. Those gland on a woman's chest are for feeding her offspring only. Adult mammals do not nurse from adult female mammals, so why should people try to keep drinking milk after they are weaned from their mothers.

The only flaw is trying to think you can outsmart the Creator by finding a source to drink milk even though you're an adult and should be weaned.

Plus consider the baby calf who was separated from its mother just so you could steal his milk. And either slaughtrer him for veal or feeding her something else to cause accelerated growth so she can be impregnated with the "rape rack" and have her calves stolen away to produce more milk.

Answer 3

That's hysterical a man is questioning a woman's use of her breasts, especially since so many men think the breasts are meant for their pleasure instead of serving their purpose of nourishing an infant/ toddler! Everyone already said their two cents, and I agree with them! And actually, all mammals have them!! A newborn baby boy has been said to "leak" a little milk after birth, for the first few days due to large amounts of estrogen still in his system.

Human milk is configured differently than cow's milk. We have more Omega- 3 fatty acids, compared to all the saturated fats in cow's milk. Our milk has the proper ratio of protien, fats, water, and carbohydrates geared to build smart, large brains, healthy bodies, and a little fat for warmth. Cow's milk is made to fatten them up, not much of anything else! Of course we'd have problems with cow's milk and not human milk!

Answer 4

those "Glands" are there for the nuritional needs of baby HUMANS. The milk a lactating woman produces has the perfect nutriton for a baby human, but it does NOT have the correct nutrition for a baby cow. And a cow may produce milk, but it is designed for a baby COW, not a baby human, much less an adult. Don't you find it weird that no other animal besides humans drink milk after they're old enough to wean, let alone the milk of another animal?

Mammals produce milk for their young. It is not wrong for a baby human to drink its mother's milk. I don't think anyone has ever claimed that it is.

But many people think it IS wrong for humans to drink the milk of cows that are kept crowded in dark barns, continually inpregnated, and have their babies taken from them to be kept in tiny stalls, unable to move, so that their veal is nice and pale and tender?

Answer 5

on an analogous time as eveyone ought to agree that vegans at the instant are not meant to assist the exploitation of animals for nutrition or clothing, there's a large huge divide in the lives of vegans immediately whilst in comparison with the quite definition of Vegan, coined by using DOnald Waton in the 40s in uk. He reported, that people could commodify animals, or earnings on them to apply as nutrition, clothing or products. we could constantly no longer use them in any way. In those days there have been no technology labs coming up cloned sheep or people and no genegetically engineered meat grown in petri dishes. what's an analogous is that as animals in farms can not talk for themselves and that people have constantly acted so greater to them by using lording over them and killing them for nutrition, this is sparkling that human milk cheese is permitted verbally by using the people giving it. it is what Donald Watson began- a company which did no longer help any use of animals who a million) can not talk for themselves, and a pair of) get used by using people who look to think of they're above the animals morally. If the human in touch is satisfied they're doing it and has a say, there's no longer something approximately this situation that's a vegan situation. there is likewise no such ingredient as a morally correc vegan. Morals do no longer could desire to be reported. some vegans are very immoral. as long as they do no longer eat, drink or use animals, or any portion of them, they are able to nonetheless be vegans.

Answer 6

Interesting but not well thought out question. Drinking milk is not "wrong" as long as it's in your own species. My child is not a calf or baby goat, so those milks don't work for their little human bodies. The composition of human milk vs other types of animal milk is very different
Human babies can drink it & live, but they don't "thrive" on it. Eatting & drinking foods such as that eventually lead to ill health & death.
Those "glans" are for the delivery of human milk for human babies.

Flip side of that Dairy farming is a horror. Since it is unneeded that makes it even worse.

Answer 7

Those are for babies of the same species to gain nutrients from it's mom until the baby cuts it's teeth and can eat solid foods not for us to share with other species. Cows milk is made to fatten up baby cows and human milk is made to fatten up baby humans not the other way around and certainly not for adult consumption. Heck, you wouldn't see an adult human drinking milk from another human so why would you drink it from another species? That's just gross.

Answer 8

The glands on a woman's chest are to feed a human baby, should she choose to have one. Mammals produce milk only when pregnant to nourish their young. No other species consumes the milk of another species or consumes milk after infancy.

So here's a question for you: Would you drink rats' milk, cats' milk, dogs' milk, elephants' milk, pigs' milk, etc.? If not, why do you drink cows' milk?

Answer 9

Milk itself is not wrong... but it is wrong to take milk from one species to feed another.

1) take for example of a cow... the milk produced by the cow rightfully belongs to the baby calf. if humans take it away, what do the cows drink? YOUR milk? would a female human, give her milk to another woman's child?

2) factory farming: anyone who have seen the living conditions of the animals, and still have an ounce of compassion and empathy would give up dairy.

Humans who claims to be at the top of the food chain are at the bottom of humanity.

Answer 10

Just a response to answerer Madmed - yes human females do often give their milk to other human babies. There are milk banks set up so that women who are unable to breastfeed can still give breastmilk to their babies and don't have to resort to formula.
