To Drink Or Not

This one is a dilemma ....

To drink or not to drink MILK.

Now, we know milk is good for you

the calcium makes our bones strong etc...?

So many people become lactose intolerant as adults

because their body is not able to metabolize lactose

because of the lack of the required enzyme lactase for our

digestive systems. It is estimated that about 75% of adults

all over the world have decreased activity of the enzyme,
making it harder to digest milk and other dairy products.

The actual dilemma is that...

people usually don't think about it but,

cows are mammals and they only produce milk

when they are pregnant-

so all the milk we drink and have with our cereal

comes from a cow that is pregnant pretty much

her whole life literally. Cows produce milk

after calving and their milk is produced longer than

people produce milk after giving birth but,

regardless many cows are impregnated pretty much

every other year in order to give us milk.

Commercial farms often give a hormone to the cows

to produce the milk for a longer period of time than usual.
See the dilemma.......? hmmm
