One person can't make a difference but... 12:26 - Sep 18 with 14141 viewsmonytowbray

...I found out this morning 1,000 dairy farms closed over 2013-2016 because people are switching off of milk for alternatives.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36764592

I honestly believe within the next 50-100 years we'll look back as a race on the consumption of cow milk and consider how backwards it was.

Funnily enough just reading this thread (or at least the start of it) made me go and get a big glass of milk - loved the stuff when I was a kid and could drink a whole bottle

Consider myself pretty liberal these days but really sick of people trying to push their views onto others - you want to be a vegan, thats fine - your choice but leave the rest of us to have some sort of enjoyment in life !

Sort of like all the KFC and McDonalds adverts I pass every day?

I can promise you meat is pushed onto me far more often than you have to hear someone say the V word!

Advertising is a bit different to posting about it on a forum (I don't personally have an issue with it). Nothing to stop vegan companies advertising.

Pretty much a straw man argument there - veganism is promotion of a way of life that excludes various items - brand advertising isn't about exclusion at all - it is about offering a product that you free to purchase or not

Kale? Tofu? Broccoli? Soy milk? Sweet potato? Hummus? Google?


I'm allergic to all the cabbage family and sweet potato (sadly re the latter, as I love it).
Tofu I just found disgusting.
Several of my previous posts mention that I already drink/eat soya beans.

Do you really think I've gone all these 29 years of dairy allergy without looking at all the calcium alternatives and seeing a dietician?

Well this sort of comment suggests that drinking milk is pretty backwards which is pretty insulting to those of us that do

"I honestly believe within the next 50-100 years we'll look back as a race on the consumption of cow milk and consider how backwards it was. "

My point was that veganism as a whole is not about letting people eat what they want is it

I'm just promoting my PoV alongside evidence to support it.

Much like some people on here like to promote their PoV as to what burgers they enjoy and evidence as to why they enjoyed it.

No one is forcing you to not eat meat, no one is forcing me to eat meat. The whole "I'm being forced against my will to go vegan" thing is OTT nonsense. It's just promotion of a lifestyle and the reality behind social eating norms.

I was making more of a general point re calcium rather addressing your specific, extremely rare, dietary requirements.

Not rare for many people with Crohns/UC.

And if you were making "more of a general point", why did you patronisingly tell me to google?

The original poster really seems to be milking the vegan angle.



Arguably that video is the best thing to come out of veganism. Puntastic.

Thanks for sharing.

It’s very very biased!

There is certainly some truth in it but it lacks balance and is full of inflammatory and at times misleading statements.

Sounds like what she is really concerned about (and rightly so) is welfare.

To give one example she talks about it being common to find blood and puss in milk, that statement doesn’t pass a straight face test.

I know what she has done/doing and it’s misleading but no doubt effective in achieving her aim of stopping people drinking milk.
