Being unable to drink plant milk doesn't make drinking cows milk okay.
Just don't drink cows milk? It isn't essential for your diet anyway.
There are quite a lot of days cows milk is literally the only source of calories that doesn't make me vomit from the intensely unpleasant sensory experience all other food gives me. So no, I'm not going to stop drinking it.
Drinking cow milk is ok. You not liking that dont change that, or that nw Europeans are literally evolved to drink it.
Yeah, it is. You're literally whining about a food an ethnic group has literally adapted to, that comes from a selectively bred animal not found in the wild, and the reason that ethnic group survived.
Missing the point.
The fact that the cows are being exploited at an industrial scale is abhorrent.
Typical carnist dickhead trying to justify enslavement.
(looks at the dairy down the road) yeah, stfu, They've not a bad life compared to either not existing or dying in a hard winter. But rest assured. I am a carnist dickhead. If the winter gets rough I've no problem eating you, Grass fed tastes better anyways. The muscle fat ratio is similar to hogs. you'll make good bacon. Ethical issues about these things are really in movies for effect, real life, no one cares that ain't been pampered to a ridiculous degree all their lives. Ive not yet met one, vegan, farmer. you're a city creature of flexible ethics that won't look too closely into where the food comes from but will act superior.
They shouldn't be enduring a hard winter because they shouldn't be bred by people in the first place.
Dairy cows get abused often on farms. You're either not seeing news about it, or you're willingly ignorant.
You haven't met a vegan farmer? Wow that's so strange! I've never met an atheist Christian before, but I'm sure they're out there.
I am a city creature, but I've chosen not to participate in the exploitation of animals for ethical reasons, what's wrong with that?
If your ethnic group only survived because they adapted to cannibalising their young during famines, would you eat babies
I don’t know. I’ve never been in a famine.
Yours, sure.
I drink it and%a lot of it, and it like it.
