Dairy cows are treated appallingly, not to mention separation from their infant calves and left in a perpetual state of forced lactation. The calves butchered immediately for a disgusting outdated Italian dish.

Commercial dairy farming needs to change if it wants to survive in the 21st century. Where do you think the drop in dairy sales has come from? Consumers CARE how their food is made surprise surprise. I support ethical farming practices that protect animals, environment, & me.

The dairy lobby has you in its pocket too, huh? More people should watch the

Dairy farmers need a new product. People are becoming more aware of the health issues and animal cruelty associated with milk and other dairy products. Help these farmers learn a different kind of farming that helps them, the American people, and cows!

Disagree. Industrialized agriculture is killing us. We are sicker than ever before and declining relative to rest of first world. The modern farmer is set up for failure. Get the industrialized Big Meat, Dairy, Corn, Sugar etc. money out of DC and help us save ourselves.

Incidence of chronic disease have increased steadily over time, particularly since the 1950s with acceleration in the late 80s when the USDA, replete with Big Meat, Dairy, etc. $ issued their 4 main food groups and death-inducing food pyramid. U.S. life expectancy decreasing.

I agree. We might like dairy products but it is a myth that humans 'need' dairy in their diets. Dairy isn't actually healthy for adult humans, not necessary and a very cruel industry.
