Food for Thought Podcast starts with the premise that being vegan is a means to an end — not an end in itself. Food for Thought addresses all aspects of eating and living compassionately and healthfully, including living zero waste! Each episode addresses commonly asked questions about being vegan, including those regarding animal protection, food, cooking, eating, and nutrition — and debunks the myths surrounding these issues.

Milk is a natural food, and cows naturally give milk, so what's wrong with drinking it?

May 30, 2006

Cow's milk is indeed a natural food — for calves, just as human milk is made for humans, rat's milk is made for rats, and dog's milk is made for dogs.

Calves stop drinking cow's milk when they're weaned, and humans stop drinking human milk when they're weaned, but somehow we've all been convinced that humans should continue drinking cow's milk — and never wean.
