	    This implies that veganism is mindless dogma.  Wrongo.  One
	follows a vegan diet for specific reasons, and none of these rea-
	sons apply to mother's milk.  (I can only think of one objection
	to mother's milk along vegan lines, and that has to do with the
	buildup of pollutants in the milk.  Of course, a vegan mother will
	have the lowest levels of the pollutants in her milk.)
