Breast milk is the only milk that can be vegan. It’s all about consent.

Those plants didn't consent, so...

[–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.de 39 points 11 months ago

I can speak from experience that almonds are kinky little sluts and like to be milked.

[–] praise_idleness@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Those are not technically milk so...

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To which authority? Because I know the milk conglomerate has been staunchly fighting for that very definition.

The lack of consent is more viable as a disqualifier.

I think the main distinction is lactose. And/or the proteins that are present in milk.

While oat milk and consorts can be used in a lot of use cases it's not a one to one replacement and it's dishonest to claim it is.

Depends on the uses. Food Theory did a great video about this very thing, covering preferred taste, consistency, price, protein / fat content, and bake-ability: https://youtu.be/df8FRfVtVNw

Lactose is simply the kind of sugar/ starch in the milk.

Euphemistic milks?

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Which would mean there's the possibility of this new short horror story I just wrote:

I noticed two new options in the dairy aisle today: human breast milk, vegan and non-vegan.

So meat is vegan as long as the cows consent?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

Man, Hitchhiker's Guide really was ahead of its time.

[–] BachenBenno@feddit.de 21 points 11 months ago

Technically yes. But of course they would (and can't really) do that. But you could also eat stuff like roadkill and it's vegan. Veganism as a moral philosophy has nothing to do with food, it's about respecting and granting animals the same rights as humans (as far as applicable, not stuff like voting).
