There are many decisions we make everyday that determine who we are, how we live, and what we eat. Here are some questions that are difficult to answer but we should all really consider. Why are humans the only species on earth who continue to drink milk after their own mother stops producing it? Okay, cow's milk tastes good but so does soy milk. Were cows meant to produce milk for human consumption? A free cow would produce 5 liters of milk a day while cows hooked up to sucking machines produce 44 liters a day!
Did you know that the grain used to feed animals for slaughter could be used to feed children that are dying of starvation elsewhere? 70 percent of U.S. grain is used to feed animals raised for human consumption. There are 7 billion animals for slaughter in the U.S., eating five times as much grain than is consumed by humans. If this grain were traded, it would boost the U.S. economy by $80 billion a year.
If you happen to drink milk, you should take a look at this eye opening video.
