because the dairy industry is tax subsidized & pays for propaganda commercials to make people think you need cow's milk as an adult
I don't know a single person who consumes milk because they think they require it. They just like the taste of dairy products.
The subsidization is an issue imo, but I don't think people are as brainwashed regarding milk as you assume.
My fart levels get dangerously low if I don't consume enough dairy.
McDonald's can help with that...
I’ve got news for you. Adults drank milk way before any of those things existed.
Only a rather small group of people were even able to consume milk past infancy without negative health effects, and that's mostly because they were the ones that survived the famine that necessitated surviving such a diet. Lactase persistence is a recessive gene
As in, people have literally evolved to be able to drink cow's milk.
Small group of many, many millions of people. We like milk. We don’t need commercials to tell us it tastes good.
I honestly don’t know what the fuck you weirdos are trying to accomplish. Are you saying we don’t enjoy milk? Or simply that we shouldn’t?
Because if the argument is that it’s advertising that made use enjoy is, you’re wrong. We enjoyed it well before ads.
And if your argument is that we should dislike something simply because you expect us to dislike something, I think you’ve got your own disorder.
I don’t hate what you hate. Fool, Get a clue.
Glad my ancestors survived your favorite famine. Also glad I have feet. Evolution is neat.
Btw I’m Italian. We drink milk. And we eat cheese. We are tied with Japan for the longest national lifespan. We will also drink coffee if there ok with you. Thanks! Do what you do over there. We got this.
Wow, here's something I would have expected from Reddit, not Lemmy. I'll just be a weirdo, not funding the horrors we subject cattle in order to obtain something that the population of only a few countries can even consume past infancy, of which the original need was borne of desperation. But you like it, so you do you, and to hell with everyone else, human or otherwise.
You come across as such an asshole
In that case you're exactly who the comment's targeting
So you're just completely hostile to anyone who doesn't agree with you?
Still gross
Any thing is gross if you describe well enough.
Vegetables are the fruiting body of the plant. They arise from the interaction of the sexual parts of the plant. The function of a fruiting body is protect the seeds and provide nourishment, much like the womb and placenta do for a zygote.
Hope you enjoy your plant utereses with unborn babies inside.
That actually depends on the vegetable. Tomatoes and peppers are fruit, technically. Carrots and radishes on the other hand are actually the roots of the carrot plant. Celery, we eat part of the stems. Lettuce and spinach we eat the leaves of. Etc
I'm sure you can invent some allegory to body parts for each of those.
Food is only as gross as we make it out to be.
A hot dog is even grosser but I still like them. My grandma would lick her fingers clean after eating chicken giblets while even the concept of eating that stuff made my stomach turn.
What's gross to you is a smorgasbord for somebody.
Most the things I like are “icky.” Luckily what I like isn’t determined by a child. I like liking things.
okay but on the other hand
have you tried ice cream???
Or cheese?
I love ice cream!...made from oat milk. Or soy milk.
...or because it tastes good.
and as we all know, taste justifies every kind of cruelty. /s
I mean, I understand criticizing the dairy industry, but another big factor is that milk also taste good. Humans drank milk before it was industrialized.
This man is literally out here upset about milk, are y’all this bored
animal rights is when boredom
We have a symbiotic relationship with Dairy Cows.
