Gandhi drinks milk? And he's so skinny! Therefore: drinking milk = being too skinny! I love reason. I'm not convinced Gandhi is a valid source of information these days. There was an article posted here a while back about him being an omnivore now. Oh and I agree, this place is like a support group. Which is why i love it! And as a member of this support group, I support the notion that mike should fuck off!
Who cares who drinks milk and who doesn't?! whoppdedo!!! its when people start sprouting off facts that they pulled out their ass that people get pissed off. I drink milk, but i don't eat meat. and just cuz i don't eat meat doesn't mean that i'm going around trying to get everyone else to stop eating meat or drinking milk. I really think that the majority of the world problems all start from people trying to change other people to be the same. cows don't mind being milked, it probably feels good to them. but i really dont think that they would care one way or another.
I think the cow milk thing has more to do with this: If you milk a cow all the time, its milky udder thingy reguarly fills up with milk to repleace it, therefore you have an unnatural production rate, and if the milk is not released it can cause some discomfort for the cow. There isnt a need to drink cows milk, but if the cow is already being milked then just stopping the process might upset the cow, I think you would have to gradually reduce the milk taken from the udders to ease the cow off the process, thus causing it the least discomfort.
