Let's talk about cow's milk [NSFW]

I probably shoudn't post this, but it bothers me.

I love cream. If I buy an apple turnover, it must have cream.

The thing is, we are born into a world where drinking the lactate from a cow is acceptable. Who on Earth thought to drink it in the first place? A litre gives me 33g of protein a day. I try not to think about the pus in my milk.

I read that a person went to a farm and saw a cow getting milked. It ran red at first, but went white. He never touched milk again. I also know of an ex butcher that stopped eating steak, due to finding large pus abcess pockets in the meat the size of tennis balls. We don't see this in the supermarket shelves. I won't post the links, but it's gross.

I'm actually inclined to go vegetarian or vegan.

Did you know that horses are drain of their blood to pass the hormone to pigs? They cull all off the offspring. It's a multi-million pound bussiness and the horses are beaten and drained to the max. So much is going on that we can't see.

The mest industry is macabre.

I hope you don't report this, as those horses need a voice. This is their voice and it's unacceptable. 

Formo is a start up company that have found a way to make actual milk protein without subjecting any cows to a life of torture. I would gladly switch to their product.

Back on topic, do you drink cow's milk?

I love it, but I want the cows treated well. The farmers are paid pennies and the supermarkets force them to abuse the animals for profit. The farmers should be well paid and the animals should be able to roam daily.  Milk is too cheap. It has to stop.

EDIT: I left out the exclamation marks for you profdanger. You're welcome.
