Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

By definition you can eat and drink human produce and still be vegan. So you could be a cannibal and also a vegan.

Yeah I think as long as consent is given. Animals can't give consent, which makes it immoral to eat them (according to vegans).

The IT crowd comes to mind.

"No-- he was a very nice cannibal."

That's the point.

Veganism, as far as I can tell, is not so much about not consuming animal products as it is about not consuming anything that causes harm to animals.

By that logic, you would keep your child on breast milk as long as possible, to avoid having to switch to cow milk or formula.

You are what you eat
