Vegan ice cream exists, unless you count coconuts as mammals (since they have hair and produce milk).

You can just make sorbet from fruits without causing harm to innocent coconuts.

Yet again proof no one cares about us... This is why we created the gay agenda.

Behold, a mammal!

Coconuts produce water. Coconut milk is made by pureeing coconut meat and mixing it with cononut water.

Coconuts don't produce anything "milky" on their own. Coconut watet is clear.

I mean.... that's kinda a sliding scale. You can get coconut milk by just squeezing it out of coconut flesh, I've seen it done before. Saying coconuts don't produce milk is kinda like saying oranges don't produce juice.

Squeezing it out of coconut flesh?

I had to look this up. I found a video of some guy essentially shave the meat of a coconut and then twist the shavings in the hairs of the husk. He got like 1 tablespoon of "milk".

You can't really squeeze coconut meat without shredding it or using a hydrolic press. I'd wager the meat is just a tough sponge holding the water and it gets milky due to the meat breaking down when you squeeze or shred it.

It's like saying oranges produce pulp. Oranges produce juice but humans produce the pulp by shredding the remains of the inside of the orange.

Now I'm thinking about what it would be like to puree beef with cow's milk. I'm sure the steak shake already exists somewhere in the States.
