Even if you don't eat meat, you might think drinking or using milk is part of a vegetarian diet.
We all have images of farmers pumping milk by hand, and it seems a natural part of life and a benign use of the cow. But we don't really think much about it at all, do we?
Do you know how a cow raised for producing milk lives its life?
Like most animals used for mass consumption, a milk cow lives in cramped and often filthy conditions.
It is fed hormones to stimulate its reproductive processes, because that's what a mother's milk is for... 'To feed its baby.
As soon as a calf is born though, it's almost instantly taken away from its mother. A male calf often goes to a terrible fate to be raised for veal. A female calf though, often has the same fate as its mother.
Often the cows mourn for their babies. They'll be seen bellowing for them and looking for them.
Mass producing milk for human consumption has disrupted the natural order of things. The cows are fed hormones to continue to stimulate milk production.
Also, the electric pumps are painful to the cow's udders. With the hormone stimulation, cows are forced to produce 10 times more milk than they would ordinarily.
When their milk-producing days are over, the cows are slaughtered for ground beef. It also takes enormous natural resources to feed and water all these cows.
The water table is being depleted to sustain this enormous industry. And the waste produced by all these large animals is having a detrimental effect on the environment.
We really don't need to consume milk after a certain age. Why would we continue to support this industry that's built on animal suffering?
To really top it off, humans are not meant to drink cow milk. Calf's are meant to drink cow milk and we humans are meant to drink human milk.
Our bodies were not designed to digest the proteins in cow milk 'so why bother?
"But we need milk for Calcium", they're crying out loud... Horse manure I say!
That's utter B.S!
I guess you didn't know you will get more natural calcium from a green, leafy vegetable, that you'd ever get from a cup of milk!
Besides, it will keep you stronger and healthier longer too, than cow milk ever will...
Did you know by the way, that eggs, milk and butter are the Biggest source of Asthma and Allergies that is known to man today?
