Breast milk is the best thing for infants. It provides them with the nutrients they need to develop a strong immune system and helps a great amount in the development of nerves in the brain. I don't get peoples hesitation or disgust with breastfeeding. If it wasn't natural or the right thing then we wouldn't produce it.
but, you still advocate drinking milk that was meant for a baby cow? i'm not trying to instigate, i'm just trying to understand.
I never really thought about that. But do all baby cows drink formula? I was under the impression that baby cows received their mother's milk until they start eating grass or whatever it is they eat. Most animals don't breastfeed as long as (some)humans do. Or were you talking to Pat?
I feel lighter, healthier, more pure. I've lost weight and exercise more, I have more energy because I'm having to find better, more wholesome protein sources.
Sounds good. I may start dropping chicken from my menu soon because of certain health issues and was curious about what the differences of not eating it was.
yeah I definitely recommend it especially if you ever eat fried chicken or any sort of restaurant chicken rather than free-range organic, you will be dropping a lot of hormones and crap you don't need also.
so, pat, at what age were you vaccinated? greta, to be more clear... calves nurse until they are 7-10 mos old., kids (as in goats) are weaned at 3-4mos., humans 2-5 years. most adults (save those of european decent) cannot digest lactose because as we mature the body stops producing the enzyme that breaks down the sugar. there are many reasons not to consume dairy, i don't usually advocate PETA, but... http://www.petaasiapacific.com/newsreleasesitem.asp?id=10250
I don't think cow's milk is for everyone. Never said it was either. What difference does it make if you are of European descent? Not trying to sound bitchy just really curious. I won't go to that linked site because any crap I've seen with peta have some pretty gruesomely disturbing images.
I don't know the facts without googling, but I know when students came to my Uni from China, they all thought we stunk of sour milk. It's "our smell".
I just broke my vegetarianism of about 8 or 9 years last night and ate some chicken. I'm not really sure why I did it, I just decided I was going to do it. I guess it was more an experiment. It was neither disgusting nor delicious. It was weird I didn't feel bad about doing it, it was more a feeling of indifference. I'm certainly not about to start eating meat on a regular basis if at all. It wasn't like "omg this is fucking well tasty what have I been missing out on all these years!" I know this probably isn't very interesting, but I feel like trying to put my thoughts into words, hmm *musing...
