Knowing what we know now, if we had it to do over again, all dairy
products (and anything containing milk derivatives such as casein or
whey, for example) would be the first to be eliminated from our diet –
for reasons of compassion as well as health. In my opinion, the lies
about “happy cows” are nothing short of criminal. For health articles

In The Uncheese Cookbook Joanne Stepaniak has this to
say about dairy:
“Sweet gentle Bessie is hardly contented at all. She has been
denied the natural life of a cow and the pleasures of foraging,
ruminating and caring for her young (who are often taken from her at
birth to be made into veal). She has been bred, medicated, implanted
with hormones, artificially inseminated and kept perpetually pregnant
to provide one thing only – continual milk production… When at last
she is unable to keep up the demanded level of milk production,
drained and exhausted, Bessie will be packed into a crowded truck for
transport to her final destination – the meat processing plant.”
