Dairy

Breastfeeding

Cow's milk is breast milk. Intended for nursing a newborn calf. Intended to grow the newborn 20kg calf into a young cow of 130kg in about 6 months. Mammals nurse their young. Some humans have decided that they have a right to the breast milk intended for the calf. So immediately after the calf is born, they take away the newborn from its mother. And that does not happen in a sweet, tender way.
Or do you think that a mother "just gives up" her child?

Where does milk come from?

First, a bull is raped to produce sperm. Dairy cows like Bella, which I discuss here, usually do not frolic around in the pasture. Bella the cow stands in a factory - oh, they call it a barn - among her friends, can hardly move, is attached to a pump, constantly has an inflamed udder for which she is given antibiotics.

Bella gave birth to a calf 3 months ago. And that was immediately taken away. She was sad about this for weeks and cried very hard but not too hard because the answer was a few firm lashes with the baton. Because her milk production was still going (cows normally nurse their young for 6 months)... she was immediately made pregnant again so that her milk production continued. She is occasionally given fertility hormones to ensure that the insemination works well. Bella is usually not allowed to eat grass, there is no time for that and it is much too expensive... she is simply given soy. Yes, that soy for which the Amazon region has almost completely been cleared*. Because her system cannot tolerate that, she is fortunately given antibiotics to ease the pain. After 2 pregnancies in quick succession, her udder is CONSTANTLY badly inflamed (mastitis), but fortunately she is also given antibiotics for this. The disadvantage is that a lot of pus from this inflammation ends up in her milk.

After 4 years of exhaustion, pain, sorrow and weakness, Bella collapses, is killed and sold as steak.

Bella has a natural life expectancy of 20 years.

Milk is breast milk. From another animal species. That in itself sounds strange: consuming breast milk - as an adult - from another animal. Breastfeeding is always aimed at “growing” a small newborn creature. Growth hormones – such as IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) – are therefore a component of breast milk and therefore also the milk from a cow.

Because the dairy cow is forced to produce milk 300 days a year (completely against her nature), the dosage of estrogen is ridiculously high (and this reflects in her milk), she is injected with antibiotics to treat mastitis, nutritional issues and general weakness.

As mentioned, it is “normal” for there to be pus in milk. There are guidelines for this, which are undoubtedly stricter in the EU than in the USA, but still.

What is wrong with growth hormones?

Can that estrogen do any harm?

We all take a little antibiotic, don’t we?

And oh that little bit of pus?

Dairy consumption has been linked to heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes, migraines, arthritis, Alzheimer's, acne, MS and autoimmune diseases. In addition, the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the lactose in milk and converts it into sugar, disappears when you are no longer breast fed, making the majority of adults lactose intolerant.

Consuming dairy just does not makes sense

Cow's milk is

full of growth hormone (cancer a.o. loves this!)
full of protein that excretes Ca (ostoeporosis loves this!)
not ideal for grown ups since they lack the enzym lactase (which is needed to break down the lactose in milk)
full of cholesterol and saturated fats (atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's and Diabetes love this!)
meant for a baby cow and a baby cow only, or do you need to be breastfed? Silly

Cheese

Cheese is addictive

It is chock full of salt and (saturated) fat (70% of cheese is saturated fat!).

Salt and fat. Especially in that combination. French fries, chips, pretzels, peanuts, salty snacks... do you always have 1 or 2? We call that a behavioral addiction. If you stop eating excessive salt and fat, you will not develop physical withdrawal symptoms, but in addition to a lot of salt and fat in cheese, there is also a substance that causes a real physical addiction: casein. When casein is broken down, casomorphine is formed, a chemical compound that attaches to the same opiate receptors as heroin and morphine.

How is cheese made?

milk + bacteria (for the fermentation of the lactose) + rennet --> remove whey and water and add a lot of salt --> mature

(rennet is only found in the stomach of a calf; not a live one btw.)

Smelly cheese

Ever heard of cheese that stinks? Oh yes, the stinky cheeses! The smell… that is the bacterial decomposition. For some cheeses, Brevibacteria are used for fermentation. These are the exact same bacteria that cause the stench of unwashed feet.

Butyric acid is also sometimes added to cheese. That is an acid that is produced in your stomach.

Now you know why Parmesan cheese sometimes smells like vomit.

In other cheeses, Staphylococcus Epidermidis is added. That's right. That is our own body odor bacteria.
