You're not very bright, then.

The kids have to eat real food to get enough calories, hence why breastfeeding them is stupid and a waste of time and resources.

Suffered some really bad acne even in my 20's. No matter what I did and how many doctors I visited, it didn't go away. Eventually I saw a documentary on food and how everything we consume goes into our skin right away. If we eat something that is bad; it will show up on our skin. As a test I switched dairy for plant based milk (almond and soy at that time, since it was the only ones available) and within two weeks my skin cleared up! Wish I knew about it much earlier since the bad acne has created some ugly scars. Later on I found out how dairy is causing other illnesses such as cancers. Especially for me, who is in that risk group, it is a double win that I stopped consuming that stuff and it made me realize how much of a scam big dairy is.

I worked for the Milk Marketing Board for 6 months in 1979, I was vegetarian and I needed a job. The cows were put to the bulls and both had names, not numbers. The calves spent longer with their mothers and both lived longer. I tried being vegan and failed miserably, Plamil soya milk in the '70's came in a tin and it was diluted with water, tasted like earth! I did reduce my dairy consumption, difficult because I loved cheese, and learnt how to bake without eggs. Nine months after leaving the MMB I was given a leaflet by someone from The Vegan Society, 'What Happens To The Calf?' That was the day I became vegan.

I'm glad you're talking about the milk industry subsidies and the dairy checkoff program's advertising. Meat industries have government-mandated subsidies and marketing, too. The Farm Bill that allocates much of those subsidies every 5 years is currently being discussed, scheduled to be passed this month in the US. It's why many faux-milks and meats are not price competitive with animal products.

[@Hubcool367]

The cozy relationship between animal agriculture and governments is crazy. It has been calculated that for every dollar a consumer spends on a Big Mac, the government (in other words, all of us) has paid 2. So animal agriculture is able to sell their products at a sticker price that is 1/3 of the actual price. They don't pay a single dime for doing pretty much as much environmental/climate damage as the fossil fuel industry. They don't pay a dime for all of the healthcare costs they are responsible for (unlike products like cigarettes where 80% of the price is taxes and the money ostensibly goes towards at least mitigating the damage). It's almost unbelievable how corrupt the whole thing is and how much effort has been out into trying to keep one of the most destructive industries on Earth alive. If governments had put half as much effort into solving every last societal problem as they put into trying to keep animal agriculture afloat, we would already be living in some post-scarcity Star Trek society.

That is the last thing that pisses me off about my tax dollars. Try welfare, and food stamps. Other farmers get tax money as well like Dole and Del-Monte. They are two of the biggest produce producers in the world and they get tax payer dollars every month for lost crops. Those lost crops are mainly from weather, diseases, insects, and wildlife. So when you are eating your pineapple and cabbage just think about my tax dollars feeding your ass.

[@luckyomen5948]

​@@shawndarling1980 Subsidies to crop farms also end up subsidising animal agriculture... if the government stopped subsidising all agriculture, then farmed meat and dairy would be orders of magnitude more expensive than grains and seasonal produce. If someone wants to eat farmed meat or dairy, they should pay the cost themselves instead of expecting the government to subsidise their habit.

[@shawndarling1980]

@@luckyomen5948 I know my brother in-law is switching from dairy to just growing crops for plant based products. I tried to explain to him that those companies that make vegan food have their own farms. Also he would be the big one. Since he is getting out of the meat and dairy game. He will immediately lose millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies. He needs that money for payments on items, insurance and paying the workers. But since he is getting out of running is probably the largest factory dairy farm in the area. Just growing black beans, mong beans, walnuts, apples, and white rice. He will be letting 97% of his employees go. Wouldn't be able to afford to keep them without taxpayer subsidies.

From a young age, I had always had problems with my sinuses, my nose was always really blocked, and I had problems with a ridiculous amount of excess mucus and phlegm. I also had reoccurring tonsillitis. . It was like I had a cold and was bunged up and stuffy all of time. Over the years, I was prescribed all sorts of medicines and treatments for it... . I was told I needed my adenoids out, that I was hyper sensitive to dust, that it was an infection (which lead to lots of different antibiotics) that it was because I've had my nose broken and so on. . When I stopped consuming dairy, all of these problems stopped. . I spent most of my childhood, teens, and early 20s being seen by all sorts of specialists and not one of them suggested or mentioned it could have been related to consuming dairy products.

I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy in high school, and it was a rough transition. You don't realize just how much dairy is in your diet, until you have to avoid it entirely. Luckily the last decade has seen a surge in dairy alternatives. I realized over the years that the amount of dairy in the American diet is an oddity among most cultures. The same applies to wheat products in the US. Food allergies opened my eyes to just how strange the food industry is in this country, and how little most people think about it.

Outstanding video, thanks for exposing the massive lies that dairy is good for us,nothing could be further from the truth !

[@rondarkman.]

The delicious truth

[@Apebek]

Dairy contains vitamins B2, B12, D, calcium and reduces the risk of colon cancer.

[@jjradV]

Apebek, cows milk is for growing a baby cow,it is very harmful to the human body. People in countries that consume the most dairy also have the highest osteoporosis rates. Despite the fantastic lies that dairy is good for humans ,milk actually robs our bones of calcium. Dairy has been linked to prostate cancer and ovarian cancer. Many people are lactose intolerant because the human body is not suppose to be consuming another species milk. Dairy is also linked to acne and allergies. A single serving of milk contains 24 mg of cholesterol, no plant foods contain any cholesterol. Cows milk is full of harmful hormones and cows are often pumped full of antibiotics to keep them alive and producing milk in filthy conditions. A single serving of whole milk contains more than 20 percent of daily recommended allowance of saturated fat. It causes unhealthy weight gain. Milk is designed to meet the needs of a calves that gain hundreds of pounds in weight in just a few months. A cow is not your mother,milk is not your milk,you should have been weaned. Do you approve of killing new born male dairy calves shortly after birth because they don't produce milk ? If you care about your health you will get all the nutrients you mentioned from plants without causing suffering and death to anyone. Please research the dairy industry and see for yourself the horrific cruelty and death you are causing and paying for.

Most people aren’t even aware of the daily regular intolerance symptoms until they cut it out and realise their normal wasn’t even normal for them. I was lactose free for many years due to Crohn’s disease before we made the switch to a vegan family and the difference it’s made is life changing. ✨💕

I can suggest only one improvement to this video: the gutwrenching sound of calves being ripped from their screaming mothers and the sound of both the mothers and the calves crying for days afterwards. Those sounds and sounds and sights from slaughterhouses need to be made as ubiquitous as meat, dairy and eggs are.

[@LuisFernandoVVB]

Thank you, Ed. Just a note, drinking milk didn't *cause* a mutation to occur, but it likely made it advantageous to the people who already had the mutation (because they could eat the new resource without trouble, and they could survive to have children and/or they were preferentially picked as a partner.)
