Kinda tongue-in-cheek questions, but: Honey isn't an animal body part, it isn't produced by animal bodies, so if it is an animal product because bees process it, is wheat flour (for example) an animal product because humans process it? How about hand-kneaded bread? Does that make fruit an animal product because the bees pollinated the flowers while collecting the nectar?

Think about it as if its about consent. The bees don't consent to their honey being taken. Cows don't consent to be repeatedly impregnated and milked. Pigs don't consent to their butts becoming bacon. Chickens don't consent to their eggs being taken.

However, the miller and the baker both consented to milling/kneading, and later selling their wares.

Human breast milk can be vegan, though, if given freely. If you forcefully take human breast milk, then it is no longer vegan.

Can human meat be vegan?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

if think so but once they get to the age of consent they are probably not very palatable.

Technically, yes.

Assuming the canabee is consenting freely, and likely has to be done in a way not violating other laws. Like some variety of a pain kink where people slice of small portions of each others meaty bits and eat them. That's probably a thing, though likely not very popular among vegans.
