    I’m not a big fan of animal agriculture, but I don’t get why milk is singled out, as if we don’t consume the dead bodies of animals, bodies that weren’t “meant for” anything other than sustaining itself.

    And we’ve been doing it for thousands of years, selectively breeding and domesticating cows for the purpose. Humans drinking cow’s milk is more natural than carrots being orange.

      Vegans should wake up a bit. I’m vegetarian. It was never about animal suffering. There are people suffering right now. For me it’s about our survival. It’s unsustainable.

      8 billions of us having a carnivore diet will destroy the planet dot

      I think that meat and dairy are both unethical, but other animals do eat meat. AFAIK, humans are the only animal that drinks milk outside of their species. (Or drinks milk as an adult, for that matter!)
