Oh my God, will I get an udder if I drink too much milk?
An udder? No. Cancer? Maybe. Pus, blood, and that slimy white residue that you get in the corners of your mouth? For sure.

Did these girls’ mothers have udders too?
Yes, they did. Big ones. (Check out our upcoming Web site MothersMilkGoneWild.com.)  

I’m worried. When they were done shooting this commercial, how do I know that the girls were sent to a sanctuary and not carted back to one of those horrific milk-producing facilities?
News flash! The girls in the video are actors. They were wearing artificial (fake) prosthetics. They weren’t real. Just like in the movies when you see Harry Potter flying on a broom or Nathan Lane making love to a woman. None of those things could happen in real life. They’re not real.

But my doctor told me to drink milk to prevent osteoporosis!
Tell your doctor to put away the Dr. John’s miracle elixirs and bone up on the latest research. Your head’s going to spin when you read this one: Medical studies indicate that rather than preventing the disease, milk may actually cause osteoporosis.

But I’ve always heard that milk is nature’s perfect food.
It is nature’s perfect food—if you are a baby calf, have four stomachs, and are trying to weigh 1,000 pounds by your second birthday. Otherwise, it’s not so perfect. Think about it: No other species drinks milk beyond infancy or drinks the milk of another species. It’s just not natural!

But my kids love milk and ice cream!
Really? What is it exactly that they love? The pus content? The bloated, gassy feeling? The zits? Or could it be the allergies? Cow’s milk is the number one cause of allergies, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.

But I depend on dairy products as my main source of protein!
Protein deficiency is almost unheard of, unless you live in a famine-stricken country or you’re Kate Moss. You can get all the protein that a human body needs from legumes (beans, peas, and peanuts), vegetables, nuts, seeds, yeast, and tofu.

Dairy cows aren’t killed for their milk, so what’s the problem? They live happy lives, don’t they?
OK, this is going to be ugly: They’re happy only if you think that “happiness” entails being kept perpetually pregnant and dosed with hormones and antibiotics in order to induce a high level of milk production. A cow’s natural life span is about 25 years. Cows used in the milk industry are so ravaged that they’re rendered “useless” after only four or five years and are sent to slaughter.

What would I eat if I didn’t have dairy products?
How about any of the thousands of nondairy alternatives readily available at your local health-food or grocery store? Need specific suggestions? Visit GoVeg.com. Or ask one of the cute girls on our Web site. (They only drink soy milk.)

So let me get this straight: It really sucks if I buy dairy products, right?
That’s right. Here’s why:
It perpetuates a life of misery and suffering for cows who are raised for the dairy industry.
It’s bad for your health.
It contributes to the devastating effect that factory farms have on the environment.
