what's wrong with normal milk?
Animal abuse
It’s a no win situation. Either you’re a ruthless BigAg megacorp treating a living being like a machine for financial gain, or you’re an independent farmer who’s built a relationship with your cow by looking her in the eye each time you reach down with a slow, firm, gentle hand. One’s cruel, one’s unusual.
Soy milk or oat milk is a pretty big W in my book
And take away her calf and send it to the slaughter, since that is the only way you can produce milk for human consumption.
Should I have made the punchline of the shitpost about artificial insemination? Seemed like low-hanging fruit. I assumed that the idea of a dude groping an animal’s mammary glands carried its own implications of weirdness, and that readers were familiar with what triggers lactation. But, as they say, when you assume… Now you and me are both asses.
I guess not abusing an animal is a win situation.
Yes Twig, that’s the point. That it’s either mechanized cruelty or weirdly sexualized is just a punchline used to vent personal critique with the system through cynicism.
No matter what we eat some living thing gets “abused”
Cows aren't animals.
?????
What is there to not understand.
Except your mom.
Mammal of the decade that bitch.
Bites you as hard as I can.
Got em
Comes from cows not angels
As a human, normal milk for me comes from human titties.
And why has no one made cheese from human milk?
Legality
Have heard of people trying it several times, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for some reason.
You can (or could?) get ice cream made from human milk (in NYC?), apparently, though.
To make cow cheese they use calf stomach, or whatever rennet is.
now they often use synthetic chemicals
So to make human cheese you need..... baby stomach?
That part is often done artificially now.
most of the world is allergic to milk, also breeding and killing cows contributes to global warming and animal torture
I'm going to need to see some sources to back up that claim.
Edit: this seems to say less than 0,5% of adult population is allergic to milk. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1939455122000229
Lactose intolerance is more common.
https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/lactose-intolerance/definition-facts
But that's far from allergy. Allergies are more severe than just bloating, diarrhea and gas.
'just' bloating diarrhea and gas, wow
Diarrhea can be kinda dangerous, but yeah, bloating and gas are just mild inconveniences. Basically just a side effect of eating some foods anyway or sometimes in bigger amounts.
Yeah I guess that's what they meant.
Has to be, only way it makes sense and would explain why i was surprised over it as I'm form EU and it's significantly less people are effected here.
Virtually all adult humans will develop some degree of lactose intolerance as they age. A lot of people just never connect the fact that they are getting more farty and bloated with dairy, so in cultures where dairy consumption is more culturally ingrained, mild to moderate lactose intolerance tends to be underreported.
I guess, you didn't claim otherwise, but just to point out that there's actually also a genetic change in cultures that have consumed dairy for longer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance
Honestly that's the first time i hear it. Though yeah culturally dairy is a big part of our culture, so it would make sense that any issues regarding it are underreported.
it might be far from allergy, but it makes no sense to consume such a thing
Depending on the severity of the effects, those are survivable or even just slightly uncomfortable. While allergies can be lethal.
Though that's up to each individual to decide.
Human breast milk also has lactose.
The container isn't enough fun
Not much, but there also isn't really anything good about it.
