Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sat Nam There is a huge body of scientific evidence which clearly establishes the health hazards of consuming dairy products. For full facts which is the Vegetarian and Vegan Foundation in the UK http://www.vegetarian.org.uk/campaigns/whitelies/index.html VVF also publishes excellent information on all aspects of a vegetarian/vegan diet. Many people believe that using organic dairy products is OK and better than non organic, but there is mounting evidence that organically produced dairy products are little better for health than non organic, and in some ways can be worse. And there is more than health issues here. As people following the yogic lifestyle of non violence (AHIMSA) how can we justify consuming dairy products? The sheer cruelty involved both in the non organic and organic dairy industry is clear to see - and the impact on the environment is disastrous.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Yes, but what about hurting vegetables- have you ever heard a carrot scream when it is unrooted from the ground. How about a potatoe when it is peeled and its eyes are gouged out. What about people who take tomatoes and drop them into boiling water- ouch! it hurts. I have started the forum on cruelty against things with roots- Honestly everything hurts- it isn't fun to be put into your mouth and have those big white teeth all descend upon you, masticating their way through delicate layers of vegetation. I agree with you about the Dairy though mother's milk is good- do you not think? I think mama's milk is so pure and lovely. And really the organic is sometimes treading a fine line- If you worked on an organic farm you'd think twice about the foods- I won't spoil it for those who are about to eat an organic meal...... Everything has a price....My husband thinks the vast majority of 'organic' is BS ! I think moderation os the key.
