In order for a cow to produce milk, she needs to be pregnant (or at least recently given birth). Just like your mama, and other mammals, cows lactate once they're ready to have offspring.
-
In the dairy industry cows are artificially inseminated over and over to remain pregnant/give birth for as long as they'll lactate (make milk). Then they're killed years before their natural lifespan
-
PLUS, in order for humans to drink this milk (and use it for ice cream, yogurt, and cheese), the newborn calves are violently taken away from their mother.
Due to extensive biological manipulation, today’s dairy cows produce up to 12 times more milk than they would naturally produce to feed a calf and 21,000,000 dairy calves are slaughtered for veal or cheap beef every year globally.

“The beef industry (a byproduct of dairy) has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of 'real food for real people' you'd better live real close to a real good hospital.” ~ Dr. Neal Barnard/PCRM

"Egg whites, fat free milk and yogurt are ALL animal protein, and animal protein injures the lining of the arteries. Do not eat." ~ Dr. Esselstyn
