Specifically it’s about the consent of any sentient beings involved in the production.

Milk and eggs are fine as long as you’ve acquired them via free market exchange with the animal that produced them. n

Like, breast milk from a woman is okay for a vegan to eat as long as it wasn’t forcibly taken from her.

Which, to be clear, .00001% of human consumed milk doesn’t involve torturing cows and stealing their babies

Right. Until uplift, cow’s milk can’t be vegan because cows can’t consent.
