Cow's Milk, The Dangerous Drink

They cows, along with the harmones and antibiotics, have pesticide-laden grains given to them for their daily diet. Many cows are also given day-old breads and pastries form the various bakeries in town in order to help the farmer save money on feed for the cattle.

The cows are artificially inseminated to force a pregnancy and then the calves are taken away before the mother cow can see and bond with her newborn. This causes a lot of stress-filled lives for the mother cows and they tend to only live five years or less instead of twenty.

The ironic thing about cows milk is that if you gave some pasteurized and homogenized milk that you get from the grocery store to a calf, the calf would die within a few days. This drink has been advertised to the public to be a healthy drink by the dairy industry.
