@DrCarolLow@DrCatharineY In areas where there is low market demand for veal or dairy-beef, male calves have historically been deemed economically worthless. They are often shot or directly on the farm within their first week of life.
@jesuspissmas@Tom11880@neembeam@DrCatharineY All milk has sugar. The processing of oats turns starches into maltose, resulting in roughly 7 grams of sugar per serving. Cow’s milk naturally contains about 12 grams of sugar per serving in the form of lactose.
@misshapenident1@DrCatharineY individuals who use "weaponized joking" to intentionally humiliate others often do so out of emotional instability, lower empathy, or learned abusive patterns.
@Ralph_Hapschatt@DrCatharineY Making low-effort, cruel jokes at someone else's expense doesn't require cognitive complexity. Instead, it often stems from a lack of social intelligence, high aggression, or an inability to process nuanced social cues.
@RFlagg13@DrCatharineY The entire industry is cruel. Cows have to be pregnant ) 9 mo gestation) to lactate. How do you think that happens? After 6-8 years of this they are “spent” some are downed. They are dragged and trucked to slaughter for cheap meat. Calves are separated at birth. Male calves kille
@MiropereiraB@DrCatharineY Merriam Webster would disagree with you : Milk, a liquid product produced from seeds or fruit that resembles and is used similarly to cow's milk (such as oat milk or coconut)
@DrCarolLow@DrCatharineY That’s exactly why calves want it and need it. Except they’re taken away from their mothers shortly after birth. Males are either killed or raised for veal. So the ones who should be drinking their mother’s aren’t allowed to.
@Jmilton88712952@DrCatharineY I’m mainly referring to factory farms and not family farms. As a former dairy farmer you understand that milk from dairy cows are for calves. Humans do not need to drink the secretions from another mammal. Curious, how did your cows become impregnated?
Those eating plant-based diets average about twice the estimated daily protein requirement. The myth that proteins from plants are incomplete, necessitating protein combining, was debunked decades ago by the scientific community. https://t.co/jc86dpeplR
