I looked into soy as a replacement for bovine milk for the offspring and came to a rather alarming finding regarding the typical copper content of soy products. Copper isn't such a problem except as it displaces zinc in the body and thereby can bring similar effects to zinc deficiency, particularly if soy milk and other soy products are consumed in mass quantities.
Interesting. The multivitamins I take have a zinc supplement so maybe that can compensate for it. That's listed as a treatment for Wilson's disease [wikipedia.org] which involves an accumulation of excess copper in the body.

It's not silly, it's one of the things that distinguishes veganism from vegetarianism.
Well yeah but I can't get a cheap, consensual, local source of human milk to drink! I tried rubbing my nipples a lot but nothing came out...

See, I just don't get that. Give you a perfectly good excuse to play with boobs and you go making excuses instead.

You usually find them in veggie gardens or straw bales, but you'll need to work on them a bit.
