Among ancient cultures, the Hindus  - traditionally considered the architects who laid out the principles  of vegetarianism - regard dairy products as vegetarian. However, from an  ethical, medical and modern enviromental viewpoint, as well as from a  vegan perspective, milk and milk products cannot be accepted as  vegetarian, because they are obtained from animals. Therefore, I would  like to examine and compare the different principles and philosophies  behind the old and new interpretation of the meaning of vegetarianism.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZXvfEpgg8Z4/S9rcZtfnjbI/AAAAAAAABDc/ckZXdIlVf7Y/s1600/calf.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZXvfEpgg8Z4/S9rcZtfnjbI/AAAAAAAABDc/ckZXdIlVf7Y/s320/calf.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Mother’s milk is the only nourishment available to a new-born infant, a characteristic common to all mammals since  life originated on planet earth. Although a child may exceptionally be  fed a dairy-free infant formula for medical reasons, despite unparalled  developments in human biology and medicine the use of mother’s milk  remains the preferred option. Breast feeding causes no physical  discomfort or pain and no health or life risk to the mother. On the  contrary, retaining breast milk is painful and it must be drained if not  fed to the infant. Likewise, dairy products have been regarded as  vegetarian foods because they are presumed to have been obtained without  violence or risk to the health or the lives of dairy animals. The  Jains are a very orthodox non-violent Indian community who do not  consume any root vegetables to avoid destroying any plant life, nor  vegetables and fruits that support any form of parasitic life, but milk  is nevertheless considered to be vegetarian, though certain health and  hygiene guidelines must be maintained to procure and prepare the milk  once the suckling calves have got their due share.Types of Vegetarians   <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZXvfEpgg8Z4/S-EGa7aNelI/AAAAAAAABEs/wSnzRlmGGkg/s1600/types-of-vegetarians.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZXvfEpgg8Z4/S-EGa7aNelI/AAAAAAAABEs/wSnzRlmGGkg/s400/types-of-vegetarians.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Milk  products are not only consumed freely by everyone in such communities,  but are also used by their holymen, saints and sadhus, and are  considered holy enough as an offering to their gods and deities in all  social and religious rituals. Non-violence, the preservation of life and  the human bond conveyed through the mother’s milk are important  concepts to them. Therefore, if milk products were not to be regarded as  vegetarian, the act of suckling a baby would be akin to cannibalism.  Most importantly, the molecular structure of milk does not consist of a  biological cellular structure from which the basic building blocks of  life are formed.According to medical science, however, milk is an animal product with a molecular structure of animal origin. For example,  if butter burns in a pot it gives off a smell similar to that of  roasting animal flesh. However differently obtained, animal fat and  butter are nevertheless similar, and should be eliminated to treat  certain diseases and ailments directly linked to the consumption of  animal products.Milk  serves also as the vehicle of transmission of some diseases from  animals to humans, many animal diseases can easily mutate into specific  human ailments. Modern science can also detect the presence of blood and  pus cells in milk, kept below a specified limit through quality  control. Vegans also object to the cruelty inherent in milk production  and the commercial systems used to house and raise the animals.Finally,  the issue of eggs must also be confronted. Although it might be argued  that using non-fertilised eggs addresses the ethical objections raised  in defence of life, the cellular biological structure of the egg cannot  be denied. The physiological impact of eggs on human health is therefore  comparable with that of other flesh foods."As a Fact we cannot deny that the Milk is produced by Blood of Mammals which is a process cannot be done by Plants" By:  <a href="http://www.ivu.org/members/council/pk-jain.html" target="_blank">Dr. P.
