Nah, you don’t necessarily need lab grown or fake meat to have a healthy delicious varied vegan diet. Legumes like chickpeas, different kinds of beans and lentils as well as soy products can provide enough protein and variety if you put some effort into your cooking. You do need B12 supplements on a vegan diet though, as well as some specific nuts and seeds to cover omega 3. So those can be a problem if there’s not a lot of variety in the stores near you and you can’t order it online for whatever reason.
Maybe not necessarily the dairy cow herself, but she needs to be pregnant about once per year so she doesn’t stop producing milk. That means that the calves inevitably need to be slaughtered (as well as older dairy cows) or else the herd would keep growing year after year.

I don’t understand why milk is avoided. You are not necessarily harming the animal.

Never mind the practices that go into ensuring that they become pregnant.
I will happily drink any woman’s milk if she’s offering, but it’s actually extremely weird that y’all steal cow milk.

But it is MUCH less weird than drinking bovine lactate and somatic cells.
