fresh, clean cow's milk

[Guest guest]

Kaayla Daniel, author of The Whole Soy Story, was paraphrased as

saying that instead of soy milk, the 'obvious' solution is to

have 'fresh, clean (cow's) milk'...

 

From an animal rights perspective, what gives us the right to steal

milk intended for baby cows and feed it to ourselves and our

children? I am reading an excellent book right now, The World Peace

Diet by Will Tuttle. He points out many problems with using cow's

milk, clean or otherwise. I recommend his book highly.

 

From a health perspective, there are many reasons not to use cow's

milk besides all the toxic residues it contains. Too much fat, too

much protein, high cholesterol...

 

As for soy, based on what I've read, I think it should be consumed in

moderation, best in the form of tofu or soy milk, rather than in the

concentrated soy protein form often used in fake meats and burgers.

I tried reading about the issues related to soy a while back, and I

found that many of those who were saying soy was so dangerous had

other agendas, like promoting dairy products. There is some good

information about soy on Dr. McDougall's website. He certainly

doesn't advocate eating a lot of it, but doesn't seem to be alarmist

about it, either.

One other note: After weaning, we really don't need any milk at

all. Rather than over-consuming soy milk, why not vary your

beverages - anyone have any horror stories about carrot juice? Water

makes a great drink, too.

Consuming too many carrots made me start to turn a bit orange. Not a

horror story to me, but you should talk to the people I freaked out

walking down the street. ;-)

 

Take care.

How much does it take to do that? I drink roughly a small glass of CJ

a day but haven't noticed any effects yet.

Lots. I guess it would amount to more than a small glass of CJ. I was

eating them, not drinking a glass. I was eating them at every meal, and

for between meal snacks. But, I wasn't monitoring, so I really can't be

more specific than that. Hope it helps.

 

Also, I'd love to hear some confirmation this really happens. The claims

to my orangeness came from friends; my eyes were not sensitive enough, and

I did not focus in the mirror enough, to be sure it actually occurred.

But, my friends said it did, and that it went away when I changed my

habits, and so I accept it.

 

Finally, the last part about the people on the street, that was a joke.

Who knows what would have happened if I had continued, though. ;-)

 

Take care.
