Default Re: Any vegetarians/vegans on FFR?

From what my girlfriend told me based on what she has seen through PETA documentaries (which I refuse to watch) milking can be a very painful process for cows. They use suction machines on them. Wome have enough trouble using milk suction pumps after giving birth for a short period of time...these cows go through this day in and day out.

I was recently on a milk farm and the person giving us a tour tried to explain to us that if they didn't milk the cows they would become ill. So I shot back that cows aren't don't naturally produce milk year round....which I probably shouldn't have done because the guy is just trying to do his job. I understand that they are trying to show the public that they are taking care of the cows as best as they can but don't lie to people and fudge the facts.

Even though I know all these things I eat cereal and milk every day and I will never give up my cheese.
