Everyone sees those dairy industry catchphrases, like “Milk: It does a body good” Or “Got milk?” You see them online, on billboards, on TV. You hear them on the radio. Their latest catchphrase is “Everybody Milk.” What the hell? No, everybody don’t milk. Or don’t dairy milk. Soy milk, almond milk, oat milk – but leave the dairy alone.

According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine:

Milk and other dairy products are the top source of saturated fat in the American diet, contributing to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Studies have also linked dairy to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers.

Cows in the dairy industry are not spared death. After their milk production declines, after a few years of spending their days hooked up to milking machines and seeing their babies taken away at birth, they face the same horrific end at the slaughterhouse. If you drink milk, if you eat cheese and ice cream, you are contributing to that cruelty.

Milk is bad for your body, and it’s bad for your soul.
