am I misinterpretting "deliberately over-engineered"?...
I don't think we have valid claim to say one way or the other how the earth/evolution/creation breathes...
search for &alien& life leaves this question open to a point?... I still think we are the masters of earth's inhabitants and that my life is more important than a gorilla's... I just hope in that situation that the sustenance gathered is of significant value to the point I can placate my emotional(a trait of my rube goldberg?) reaction...
I recognize that most people (myself included) are desensitized to the killing of livestock(animals) because we buy the meat in neat packages and are not the butchers.
more on-topic ... is it possible for a vegan to get the necessary components to live a healthy life? a vegetarian? a omnivore? a carnivore?...
Is it possible that the OP's subject is just a failure of veganism? or is it that veganism is the failure? maybe i should read thread... /facepalm... adding... is breastmilk against vegan ways??

Agree with all this. The thing that frustrates me about OP article was that the woman endangered the life of her child in a self gratifying pursuit. Sure she could have gone about it differently, but the point is she could have killed her baby because she'd rather see meat in a dumpster than deal with the guilt that her life was dependent on the sacrifice of another creature similar to her.
