    I'd also like to point out that a cow is someone's cow, not "someone's" mother, because that would make a calf "someone." Calves are not "someone," they are someone's animals.

    And someone's steak

    I can't stand next to a cow without wanting to slather BBQ sauce on it.

    Why do I always get sucked into reading the ENTIRE thread of these controversies? :noway: Well, at least I realized I was wasting my time only halfway through this one. I'm going to find some awesome new recipes now, which will most likey include dairy. :tongue:

    THANKYOU for this. I'm a veggie but am toying with the idea of becoming vegan. This helps.

    you know if nobody bought meat or milk, that cow would have never been born, right? or would be meat instead of milk

    If the cow was never born, she wouldn't suffer. You can't justify the industry like that.


    I haven't consumed meat or dairy in 12 years. I see where meat is OK for most of us, but in general, humans eat (and waste) too much of it.

    We are the only species that willingly drinks milk from another species and after infancy.

    Soy milk, in moderation, is a great alternative. High protein, low cholesterol. Just get it unsweetened.
    I heard that unfermented soy is bad for you...


    Not to mention the inhumane treatment of all those soys. Soy abuse has to end.

    The first time I heard this, I was pregnant and really emotional. That coupled with the fact that dairy worsened my morning sickness, and I jumped right on the milk-is-for-baby-cows-not-people-wagon. I was at a breastfeeding class and they spent more time bashing cows milk than teaching us about breastfeeding. I left there completely disgusted by everything dairy. Eventually I started eating cheese and yogurt again but I'd still gag if I tried to drink milk.

    It wasn't until I joined MFP and read thread after thread of the anti-milk rants that I started to realize how badly those ladies had ninja'd my brain. Happy to report that I now drink milk again. :drinker:

    Our cats, pigs, and chickens all love milk, both cow milk and goat milk. As a matter of fact, the cats sit by the milking parlor mewling for their share, and the pigs and chickens come running when they see the bucket, even if they have grain in the pan.

    Since I have the gene for lactase persistence, I will drink milk, as my body was apparently designed to do whenever the gene mutated for my ancestors. I have never experienced ill effects, on my digestive system or otherwise, even when drinking more than a gallon per day.

    I've tried a number of the different 'milks' out there and while I like them, I find them awfully sweet, so I'm going to stick to my cow's milk, thank you very much.

    Though I'm pretty certain that years of generations drinking cow's milk has made it okay for us to have it.

    So why is there still lactose intolerance among our society? All humans are lactose intolerant, just some people are more "intolerant" then others. I'm sorry, but i'm not drinking a steroid & hormone laced milk that makes a calf grow to 900lbs in a few months.

    I'm not lactose intolerant; lactose and I get along very well. I like cow's milk - especially with chocolate in it. I think almond milk and soy milk are nasty.

    Humans are not designed to drink cows milk, I totally agree. Thats how I don't understand why everyone freaks out saying, "I'm lactose intolerant!" Well duh, everyone is because we're not meant to have milk past childhood. Our bodies aren't designed for it.

    No, not everyone is lactose intolerant. There are many of us who carry a mutation that allows us to continue drinking milk past infancy. Look it up. I am not lactose intolerant.
    There are people who are allergic to nuts or shellfish...does that mean no one should eat them?

    Humans weren't designed. We evolved. We are still evolving.
