The breast milk issue is DOA. How about fasting, is fasting vegan or
non-vegan?

No, but you're obviously very embarrassed about my
showing what a faux vegetarian you are, else you
wouldn't keep snipping my whole post away.

Why don't you explain why you try to fool people into
thinking you're a vegetarian whose diet consists primarily
or wholly of vegetables when announcing yourself as a
vegetarian? You've admitted you inwardly refer to a
completely different definition of the term 'vegetarian'
when making this announcement which has nothing to do
with vegetables at all, and here's your acknowledgement
of that.

"The term "vegetarian" comes from "vegetus", the
latin for "enlivened", and has no connection, apart
from a linguistic one, with vegetables. This is a
common misconception."
Richard 14/10/2004

As you say, "This is a common misconception", and
you do your very best to take advantage of it whenever
announcing yourself as a vegetarian. Why don't you
just say you're lively, if that's what you really mean?

Only because you did it and eliminated the point I made. You did it again
with this point.

I think that most people think the word vegetarian means one who doesn't eat
meat.

What do you think it means?

Rather, it's shown what a dodger and snipper you
become when trapped. Every time I grind you into
the ground on an issue you resort to snipping and
totally ignore the evidence which proves you wrong.
There's about three threads going at the moment
where you've simply cut and run, and this isn't the
fist time you've had to resort to that either. You're
always doing it. What we have here is a situation
where you cannot compete with me, so you simply
snip and run for cover every time instead.

[unsnip]
When agreeing with magnulus' statement where
he asserts "Breast milk is not non-vegan" you both
logically assert that "Breast milk is vegan" when the
double negative is removed.

[In spite of this noble history, grammarians since the
Renaissance have objected to the double negative in
English. In their eagerness to make English conform

and writing, has become established as a fundamental

Yawn and walk away if you want, but the fact remains
that you have asserted "Breast milk is vegan", whether
you accept that fact or not. Your arrogant dodging and

Rather than eliminate the point you made, I've focused
very strongly on it, namely, that while announcing yourself
as a vegetarian you inwardly refer to a Latin phrase which
translates as 'enlivened', and then do your best to rely on a
"common misconception" among those you're trying to fool.

Why do you do it? Why not just say you're enlivened if that's
what you want to say? Why rely on a "common misconception"
of a Latin term hardly known instead of the self-describing
common term usually associated with your announced lifestyle?

How about fasting, is fasting vegan or non-vegan?

Why are you afraid to answer? Isn't the answer obvious?

If I met a person who thought that the modern dictionary definition of
vegetarian meant anything other than one who doesn't eat meat, I'd happily
describe that to them. I've never met such a person so far.

So dramatic! You have yet to prove how the majority of people think the word
vegetarian means a person who does not consume milk.

Great, lots of variations there. Now where does it say anything about not
consuming milk?

You confuse similarities with equivalents and are horribly inaccurate. Non
human animals that don't consume animal matter are called herbivores, or
other related names.

Many of the males of the species in question are because they don't produce
milk.

What species? Dairy cattle do not constitute a species. Also, the
reason you cited for their slaughter is innacurate. They are not
kiiled "because they don't produce milk", they are killed for the same
reason beef cattle (also not a species) are killed: for meat. For
someone who tries to come off as some sort of expert, you really are
clueless.

I am glad I am not the only one to point this out. But I wonder if that will
do Digger any good?

I never said anything about dairy cattle being a species. I simply refered
to "the species", but male offspring would be a better phrase.

Many male offspring are killed immediately if they are weak - they do not
get reared and go to market as do the stronger ones, instead they are
burried (illegally) in fields or otherwise disposed of probably for pet
food. If they were female they would have lived to be exploited for milk.
