Dairy Industry Admits They Sell Death

 

While at the University of California at Davis, helping my youngest son

with his housing plans for his sophomore year, I was wandering through the Food

Sciences building looking for a bathroom, when I coincidentally found a wall

mounted rack distributing dairy industry propaganda – a small magazine called

the “California Dairy Dispatch – Research, Education and Service to Support the

Dairy Industry” (Spring 2002). On page 6 they say, “Since dietary fat intake is

known to contribute to obesity, heart disease, cancer, stroke and type 2

diabetes – conditions disproportionately high in the Hispanic population –

switching to low-fat 1% milk would significantly reduce the fat intake while

retaining the benefits of calcium, protein and vitamin D.” They got the disease

part right, but what they seem to always fail to tell the consumer is the truth

about nutrition – that 1% milk is still too high in fat. Based on the calories

in milk this product is 23% fat – and almost all of that is the heart

attack-producing, saturated fat.1 And 2% milk is 35% fat.1 Furthermore, the

claimed benefits of calcium, protein, and vitamin D are largely untrue (see the

McDougall Plan book).

 

Even after their clear admission of full knowledge of the health hazards

of their products, they continue to sell them without a warning label about all

that deadly fat. Consider some of their other best-selling products: butter at

100% fat, cheese at 70% fat, and whole milk at 50% fat.1 The failure to properly

warn the public of the dangers of their products will someday soon result in

lawsuits similar to those that have been won against the tobacco industries.

Dear friends, SBIDA no longer uses language that accepts the current concept of

animals

as property, commodities and/or things. Rather than refer to ourselves or others

as " owners "

of animals we share our lives with, we now refer to ourselves and others as

" guardians " of

our animal friends and to animals as " he " or " she " rather than " it. " Guardians do

not buy or

sell animals; instead they rescue and adopt. I urge you to do the same.
