    How does that work anyway? Breast milk is an animal product but it's being used for its intended purpose. Curiosity leads me to ask if this is an ok in the Vegan diet?

    A sad, sad, sick story of neglect.
    I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

    Okay by the standard of being a vegan or nutritionally okay?

    Wow--how can parents be so stupid? That is really awful. I liked the author's point about indigenous diets--seems like they should be a good indication of what works well, and none of them are vegan (some are ovolactovegetarian). I noticed that she has written a book--Real Food: What to Eat and Why. I think I'll read it once the person who has it returns it to the local library--I'm intrigued. I've always been a bit leery of the processed foods that are advertised as "healthy" because of ingredients like soy protein etc.--the cultures that eat a lot of soy products (just to use soy as an example) eat them in very different forms than this, and it may well be that those forms are healthy while the processed versions that seem to be proliferating lately aren't. Seems like eating whole/minimally processed foods, as opposed to all the refined and "fake" ingredients is a sensible idea (don't even get me started on trans fats!).

    My kids aren't grossed out(and they're in their 20's). They know puppies and kittens do it, why not human babies?

    Exactly. What's there to be grossed out about?

    That's ok for us to say, I believe my parents would have passed with flying colors.

    But since none of us came with directions or a "read me first" file, I remember many dog eared books, child rearing manuals, Dr. Spock on the shelves.

    Don't these parents know or read anything?

    Yeah and hence sKnott is tall enough to be riding your bike.
