Answering a post from a few posts back about breastfeeding a baby for the first 6 months without the need to provide it with any outside food or nutrients, even water - which is true but in the context of veganism where would the mother receive her protein for the breast milk to contain it? My wife was begging for us to get a steak or a quality beef burger while she was breast feeding our son. Ive seen wives of my friends behave the same and frankly, it is the stratosphere of hypocrisy twhen I see people using their iphones, riding their beemers and shouting they are saving the world from hunger and being compassionate by eating vegan. If it makes you feel better, do it, why not...but don't fool yourself youre helping in any way.
Modernartist, I'd love to see how you manage to support yourself on a farm for a year with no "grocery store" available and being forced to work your way through every aspect of your survival. If you'd hold up on vegan food alone - kudos to you. I would imagine the following year they would need to drive you to a hospital for malnutrition treatment, if you'd survive that is.
