Vegetarians who eat dairy, is it wrong?

I always wondered why breastmilk doesnt go off, considering you have to keep any other type of milk in the fridge, and the body is 37 degrees, so it cant be being refrigerated inside a person or animal.

I know, really weird thought.

Human milk will go off if pumped and left out for too long, but not nearly as fast as cows' milk. If it hasn't been refrigerated or frozen, human milk has live cells that attack bacteria and viruses. Pretty cool.

I guess we dont pasteurise our milk before the baby gets it either. Pasteurising would just kill all those things.

Kind of sounds like something out of an alien movie.

Lol it does. If the mother is exposed to a virus, say a headcold, her milk will contain antibodies to that exact virus to protect the baby. Ok, I will stop with how awesome human milk is for babies now.

Ahimsa milk? :I
They don't kill their cows.

what a weird thread for this section of the forum, talk about awkward

I don't see how discussing the ethical inconsistencies around dairy products is any more "awkward" than discussing meat.
