the horrifying truth about milk
I can’t drink milk. When I was little, I visited a dairy farm and saw cows being milked. I’d never realised where milk came from. They were huge and scary and smelly and some of them poop while they’re being milked. I haven’t drunk milk since. I look at it pouring into the cup, and think of cow poop splashing everywhere.

Thanks, you have now ruined milk for me also!
but do you eat other milk products like cheese or ice cream?
Do you eat beef or pork or chicken? Animals all poop. They probably poop as they are being killed too. I would.
great comment, cats! how about eggs?? think about where those guys come from!! i became a vegetarian in kindergarten when i saw baby chicks hatching (how could anyone eat a baby chicky?) but seeing where the eggs came from would have had the same effect!
I couldn’t help but smile when I read this because I’m a vegan. You’re lucky you have a true aversion to milk – I’ve missed it every day for the last three years!
Yeah, I can’t drink the stuff, either. It’s horrifying to me. I honestly don’t get why or how people can stand it. It’s like drinking any other excretion from an animal. Gross.
milk is so gross – i can’t understand how people just drink a glass of milk for the taste. i ONLY put it in my milk to get the cereal wet and that’s it.
I can’t agree with the original post — I have faith in pasteurization — but I agree wholeheartedly with Jill.
I’m fine with those who bash drinking milk, so long as they weren’t breastfed as a child. LOL
Ariette – how would you feel about seeing a seventeen-year-old boy breastfeeding on his mother? How about a thirty-five year old woman being breast fed, or a forty-something-old man? Now imagine a friend of yours has a dog, and the dog has puppies, and one day you walk in and find your friend on the floor on his hands and knees sucking milk out of his dog. Are any of these images making you uncomfortable? Be honest.
Why isn’t EVERYONE kind of freaked out by adult humans drinking cow milk? Milk should be limited to breast milk, and abandoned after weaning – it was only ever intended for babies, after all.
i like drinking milk, but it does freak me out a LOT. i always think about how gross it is. wouldnt it make more sense if we drank human milk? which is even more gross… i think i’d be more comfortable with the thought of drinking blood instead…
when i was little we also went to a dairy farm..i watch a cow give birth and the farmers had to pull the baby out of the mom with chains…now im 20 years old and didnt start drinkig milk until a year ago..i did however put it in my cereal to get it wet..but then i ate my cereal with a fork so it would all drain out
Milk is really, really bad for you anyway. With all the steroids and chemicals, it’s a good thing you don’t drink it.
How is milk ‘really, really’ bad for you?
That’s absurd. At least it’s absurd if you live in Canada. Our milk (and not to sound arrogant) is healthier. (Because of laws and whatnot.)
So, stfu, milk is great, tastes great, and is from the Earth, just like EVERYTHING else. (Not directly, obviously.)
