Have you heard the term: "You big fat, cow" ( which refers to a overweight person ) or "What a cow" ( which refers to a woman acting less than graciously ). These and other derogatory terms have been used to hurt and describe what is suppose to be natural Bovine traits? Humans have been drinking cow ( sheep and goats ) milk for centuries. These are staples of diets which span cultures and ethnicities. Whether frozen ( Ice cream ) clotted ( cream ) cultured ( yogurt ) or fermented ( cheese ) evidence suggests and research has proven that the long term consumption of another animals milk is not safe for human consumption.
Please consider:
1. Animal agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation yet little is mentioned on the mission statements of well established environmental groups ( is the possible crippling their fundraising efforts from meat eaters a factor? ).
2. In the poorest countries food that could go toward feeding humans is fed to the mass breeding of farm animals which the same poor people don't have access too!.
3. Grass Fed Beef ( truly a marketing ploy with smiling kids and all ) is not environmentally sustainable how many virgin pastures remain in the US to feed the insatiable hunger for meat?
4. It takes three times as much water to feed a farm animal in factory farms than it does for human to remain hydrated.
WOULD YOU DRINK A NURSING CAT'S MILK AND NOT EXPECT TO MEOW OR GROW WHISKERS?
