  I am sorry cowseatgrass, should I have cited my sources? And who are you to say what I have experienced? There probably are some dairy farms out there that treat their animals well, but I'm sure they are very few and far between. The reason MOST dairy farmers treat their animals so poorly is to meet demand. A cow's body does not naturally produce as much milk that is needed to supply our thirsty selves.

  I assume you are talking about notmilk.com? The website states facts, not just someone's biased opinions. Did you actually read some of the links on there? Keep in mind this is not the only research I've read about the matter. I was only agreeing with Gullyfourmyle.

  "Please, seek out first-hand information about farming practices for all of your food--that is from real people on real farms--before you publicly demonize their way of life. You just might be surprised."

  Thanks for the advice, but I don't need it. I buy all my fruit and vegetables at a local farm stand. I obviously do not consume dairy or meat products. I make whatever I can at home and avoid processed foods.

  Finally, since you are so versed on "farming practices" I'd love for you to share the names and locations of some "good" dairy farms with me. Thanks.

  Thank you Gullyfourmyle!! That was my shortened rant. I could have gone on for days. I am glad you agree that cow milk is bad for you! I think the website you are referring to is actually notmilk.com. It's a great site with a lot of information. Of course there are benefits and detriments to every kind of milk, just like there are with most foods, but it's about making the right choice for yourself (and I can assure you cow milk is never the right choice) and always enjoying in moderation. And of course, drink more water!!

  P.S. I am a female, but this is my boyfriend's user name. So any other comments on this sight under this name are his. I just couldn't resist myself with this one.

  Oh, and anyone who knows where the name "lostsailor" comes from gets extra points ;)

  "I would seriously NOT buy soy milk.Each year,millions of acres of rainforest are burned to grow soy!SICK"

  -And I bet you eat meat too. This article was not based in fact but rather in opinion. EDUCATE YOURSELF! (including the guy who wrote this article. he is obviously a meat/dairy-eater and very biased). dairy farms are bad. bad to the animals, bad for the environment, bad for your health (do you know how much PUS is in cow milk??) etc. etc. I urge everyone to please wake up and learn about the all around great benefits to a vegan diet. Back to your comment, vanillalime: way more "rainforests are burned" thanks to the huge amount of land needed for grazing and growing animal feed. Get your facts straight.
