We need milk!

As omniovores human beings need protein. They need dairy products for the calcium and fats. They need eggs for the vitamins.  People not eating meat as due their personal preference is understandable, but starving yourself for the essential nutrients your body needs to operate properly is stupid. This is what vegans do. They do not eat any meat or animal byproduct such as eggs or milk. They will not eat anything with eggs or milk in it. That means no cookies.  Vegans eat vegetables, fruit, grains and tubers, that’s it. They say their eating is healthier for them. The only aspect in which this is ‘healthier’ for them is the fact that they are not eating over processed foods like Kraft Mac and Cheese and Hamburger Helper. But healthier for the way the human body runs and functions? No. Humans are classified as omnivores, this means that our biological systems are made to process and use both vegetation and meat. Humans even have special teeth designed for ripping meat, the canines. They need meat as energy to keep the body moving. Protein is necessary for muscle building and maintaining muscle mass. I guess that’s why there aren’t many vegan body builders. Milk is necessary to maintain the electrical function in your brain, and build bone density.  These two reasons are why it is so fundamentally important for young children to have a steady diet of milk and dairy products as they are going through the formative growing years, mainly birth-3 years old. Between birth and 3 years old is when children develop their brain and brain function drastically. Children, once they are weaned of the bottle or breast, whichever the case may be, short of having a dairy allergy, should be receiving between 8-32 ounces of milk a day. That’s a lot of bone density growing and brain development that isn’t being supported when you aren’t consuming dairy.
