plus, all the growth hormones and antibiotics that are given to animals (meat or dairy) are being ingested by people, and thats not good for them. i have a theory that that is a major factor in why kids are so fat and sick these days. (the other major factor is too much junk food and video games. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)
T. Colin Campbell's landmark research in "The China Project" found a pure vegetarian (i.e. vegan) diet to be the healthiest diet. Dr. Campbell estimates, "...80 to 90% of all cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and other degenerative illness can be prevented, at least until very old age - simply by adopting a plant-based diet."
You're not against dairy products. Your real complaint is about the meat industry.

Milk is healthy. Very healthy even. No one can deny that.
The problem is that the western world is fixed on cow milk.
Cow milk is really to fat and contains to much protein to be consumed by humans.
That doesn't make milk bad. The problem is humans, who have a whole industry set up around cow milk. And want $$$ from that. I wouldn't advice cowmilk for any baby. Becouse babies aren't so strong anymore and becouse cowmilk is to rich anyway.
I have drunk sheepmilk, goatmilk, sojamilk, powder milk, ...
But I leave monkeymilk up to you if you don't mind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I'm against the meatindustry too. I do like a steak or bacon, ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. But we get our meat from ppl who have some animals at home. Retired ppl who keep animals more as a hobby. A couple of cows, a pig or two, a couple of goats, a dozen chickens, a few wabbits <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />, ... You know the type? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I have a freind who's a vegitarian. I just love the stuff she makes at home. Very yummy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I been in slaughterhouses <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />, and I also seen what they do to geeze to make their livers grow extremely big <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />.
It's disgusting.
But humans are made to eat meat, fish and vegies. You can do without meat these days. Becouse there's enough to replace it. But you will need to balance your diet, as you probably know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Milk and meat aren't bad. It's humans who turn them into something bad. As always.
