I’ve been a Vegan for 20 years and was a Vegetarian before that. I’ve attempted to tell people about some of the facts in your excellent post for ages and haven’t gotten very far, to be honest. Lifelong brainwashing means many people seem unable to make any decisions against the norm. I didn’t like cows milk when I was very young and haven’t drunk it for literally years and years and I’m still here. I was always being chastised as a kid for not drinking milk. However, being from a long line of self made stubborn people I persisted in refusing to drink it and I was obviously an awful child as I refused to eat cheese as well, and I’m still here!!!!!

My grandparents had a dairy farm in Wellington, CO in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. I remember hearing the mother cows bellowing for their babies but had no idea what was really going on at 10 years of age. My grandmother and my mother both suffered broken hips and vertebrae from osteoporosis even after drinking all the milk they wanted. So yes, what we are reading is correct. They were all brutalized by the cruel treatment of their livestock and my grandfather even used to chase grandmother around the farm beating her with a broom. No one ever stood up for her. Shame, shame, oh but they were good fundamentalist Christians who were better than the rest of us. Had to vent, sorry.
