Re: Doctor Delio Esteve and milk for vegetarians

Ummm... this isn't anything you haven't already told us (although previous posts went into a lot more detail).

I choose not to believe that we "must drink milk", regardless of what an angry no-longer-vegan lacto-vegetarian has to say about it. I don't think nature, God, or whatever you want to call it, designed the human body with an inherent need for the food of newborns from alternative animal species for the entirety of its (the human body's) life. No other species in nature requires the milk of another species for life. None. Now, granted, neither does any other species speak or build grand monuments to itself -- thus, we are in ways not like other species -- but that doesn't mean that our digestive systems or our bodies are somehow crippled by this limitation.

Why is Dr. Esteve angry, and why does he blame the lack of milk on whatever problem this is? Chances are, whatever the problem is, his assumption is based on a failure in whatever nutritional program he was following. Milk might correct that failure, but that is far from proving that milk is "required". Milk is perhaps "required" based on his particular diet, or perhaps his particular food sources, or perhaps based on his preparation methods, or...

You've given far too little detail here (and far too little relevant detail in all your posts) to make a decent analysis of the situation.
