Rethink what you eat.


Recently, driving in the country, I noticed a profound absence of dairy cow farms.  Years ago you could drive in the country, pull over almost anywhere, run up to a fence and pet a dairy cow.  Now free range dairy cows are nonexistence.  The mom and pop farms of long ago have disappeared and 99% of all dairy produced in the US comes from industrialized factory farms.  Dairy cows are kept in small stalls, kicked, pushed, tortured, and never see the light of day.  What other mammal on earth drinks the lactating milk (breast milk) of another animal?  None.  God made cow’s milk for calves.  We are nothing like a calf.  Even our digestive systems are very different.  They have multiple stomachs.  We do not, which is why lactose intolerance is very common. Studies have shown dairy products are a contributing cause to heart disease, obesity, cancer, autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, and arthritis.  So why put dairy cows thru so much torture?  Rethink what you eat.
