The Word is SpreadingA mystery colleague, who has obviously heard me preach about the evils of dairy products, put a Bizarro comic in my mailbox today. I'd post it here, but, as a good librarian, I know I would be breaking copyright laws. I'll just post the text, even though that probably also breaks copyright laws.
The strip is subtitled: "BUZZKILL the LUNCHLADY"
"And remember, kids - not only is milk a fattening health hazard, but when you're drinking milk, it means a sad & lonely calf somewhere isn't!"
So true. The breast milk of hairy 2000 pound cows is for baby cows, not people. In other words, when you drink milk, you are drinking the breast milk of a cow. Got it?

Very effective visual.
Hey. I'm Luanne's sister-in-law, and your link was on the meme she sent me.
My comment: YAY! Hate milk, love Dan Pirarro! And that poor cow. I've never seen such stretched udders. It made my boobs hurt to look at it.
Hi. I'm Luanne's sister-in-law, and your link was one listed on the last meme she sent me.
My comments on this post: Yay! Hate milk, love Dan Pirarro. And that poor cow. It made my b**bs hurt just to look at her udders. The things we humans do. Sigh.
Oops. Sorry about the double post. I didn't think the first one made it, and I thought it might have been the boob comment. :)
Ouch and EWWWWWW.
WOW. Now I'm sad. :(
But rice milk and soy milk is SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE!!!
Yeah, it's more expensive but it's expiration is certainly much longer. Milk was always expiring on me so I switched and now I like soy milk better.
c'mon, man...can't I even have some in my coffee?
Rats.
Yikes!!!!
(Some things in this world, there are no other words for)
And you're damn spot on about the milk.
Amen!
There's no way a tiny calf can drink ALL that milk. They're just teaching it to share.
Milk does give me zits, however. My mommy says that if I eat oysters it will counteract the z-t-making power of the milk, but I just can't see myself eating as many oysters every day that I do milk products. Cottage cheese. Mmmmmn.
Milk rocks, I don't know what I would do without my nightly hot chocolate and fluff.
that's a horrible, yet effective, picture.
i have no moral qualms against cow's milk - after all we humans aren't at the top of the food chain for nothing - but i've recently discovered i like the taste of soy milk better.
but cookies and cow's milk are one of life's sweet pleasures...
Um? I'm unsettled looking at that pic, and reflexively want to push my boobs upward. Those teats look painfully engorged.
IMHO, I believe that the overdevelopment of little girls' breasts for the last 20 or so years could be related to the use of BGh. Don't you think it's unnatural for a 12 year old to be sporting DDs?
Ergo, my junior high nickname taunted at me every day, "Torpedo Tits." Mercifully they have shrank down to a convenient and comfy "C".
SuperhappyJen: Get some zinc tablets, that might help, as oysters are known to be very high in zinc. Hope that helps.
Acutally, a dairy cow will produce milk regardless of whether it even has a calf or not. If you don't milk a dairy cow, it will continue to swell and will be in a great deal of pain. (If you have ever weaned a baby you have just scraped teh surface of understanding this pain.) It could also get an infection.
You aren't stealing some poor calf's meal if you drink milk. That statement is simply absurd and from somebody who is clearly uneducated concerning dairy cows.
If you choose not to drink milk because some farms do not treat their cows well or because your body reacts oddly, then that is your choice. However, many farms do treat their cows well and you are doing no harm by drinking their milk. Many people enjoy the taste of milk and milk contains nutrients that are good for you, including calcium for strong bones and teeth. Kick osteoperosis in the butt with plenty of milk everyday!
God gave us a means by which we can gain nutrients from animals without harming them. I say, take advantages of gifts from God!

Anianna, I think that statement about stealing a calf's milk is supposed to be funny. I don't think we are meant to take it seriously.
What? You mean that was a joke?
Damn...
i think Anniana is right.
you can use cow milk without harming the cow or starving the calf, i grew up on a farm too.
Ouch. That is some photo that spins images of my engorged (nameless size) hooters during pregnancy. (To those uninformed, veins on light skinned people are more prominent then, as the milk glands fill.) BTW, ZF, I'm glad "got milk?" doesn't post this image!
