@ksoqueso for those with dietary restrictions, those who care about what goes into their bodies, and those striving for a healthier lifestyle
1. Animal welfare: PETA.org
Separation of Mother and Calf: To produce milk for humans, cows are repeatedly impregnated. Calves are removed from their mothers within hours or days of birth, causing immense distress to both.
Slaughter of “Spent” Cows: Dairy cows are typically killed when their milk production declines, usually at 4–6 years old, despite a natural lifespan of roughly 20 years.
Veal Industry Link: Male calves, who cannot produce milk, are often considered a byproduct and are sold for veal, living in confined conditions before being killed.
Painful Practices: Dairy cows often undergo painful procedures like dehorning and tail-docking, often without anesthetics.
Factory Farming Conditions: Many cows are kept in industrial, “zero-grazing” systems, spending their lives on concrete floors without access to pasture
2. Environmental impact: NRDC.org
High Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Cheese is particularly resource-intensive. Producing 1 kg of cheese can produce 21 kg of greenhouse gas emissions (mostly methane), making it one of the most environmentally damaging foods.
Water Intensity: It takes roughly 5,605 liters of water to produce 1 kg of cheese.
Water and Land Pollution: Manure runoff from dairy farms causes significant pollution in lakes, rivers, and streams
3. Health considerations:
Lactose Intolerance: Approximately 65-90% of the world’s population has some degree of lactose intolerance, which can cause bloating, gas, cramps, and diarrhea.
High Saturated Fat and Cholesterol: Cheese is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can contribute to heart disease and hypertension.
Hormones and Disease Risk: Dairy milk contains natural hormones (like IGF-1) that are linked to increased risks of prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers.
Acne and Skin Issues: Studies suggest a link between dairy consumption (particularly skim milk) and increased acne, potentially due to hormones in the milk.
Antibiotic Residues: Conventional dairy farming can involve the use of antibiotics and growth hormones.
