    Bears should just enslave some other animals to produce milk for them. Simple.

          Both methods acceptable, but if it wasn’t on the profile then it definitely shouldn’t be brought up on the first date

        You want to get their interest, but as this might be one of those deal breaker questions, you should get it out of the way early. There’s no shame in breaking up from an incompatibility in attraction or sexual preference, but there should be some shame at sticking with it expecting another person to change for you.

    because the dairy industry is tax subsidized & pays for propaganda commercials to make people think you need cow’s milk as an adult

          A hot dog is even grosser but I still like them. My grandma would lick her fingers clean after eating chicken giblets while even the concept of eating that stuff made my stomach turn.

          What’s gross to you is a smorgasbord for somebody.

          Any thing is gross if you describe well enough.

          Vegetables are the fruiting body of the plant. They arise from the interaction of the sexual parts of the plant. The function of a fruiting body is protect the seeds and provide nourishment, much like the womb and placenta do for a zygote.

          Hope you enjoy your plant utereses with unborn babies inside.

            That actually depends on the vegetable. Tomatoes and peppers are fruit, technically. Carrots and radishes on the other hand are actually the roots of the carrot plant. Celery, we eat part of the stems. Lettuce and spinach we eat the leaves of. Etc

              I’m sure you can invent some allegory to body parts for each of those.

              Food is only as gross as we make it out to be.

          Most the things I like are “icky.” Luckily what I like isn’t determined by a child. I like liking things.

      I mean, I understand criticizing the dairy industry, but another big factor is that milk also taste good. Humans drank milk before it was industrialized.

    Supermarkets aren’t selling human milk, though. It’s milk from an entirely different animal.

    I’m not a big fan of animal agriculture, but I don’t get why milk is singled out, as if we don’t consume the dead bodies of animals, bodies that weren’t “meant for” anything other than sustaining itself.

    And we’ve been doing it for thousands of years, selectively breeding and domesticating cows for the purpose. Humans drinking cow’s milk is more natural than carrots being orange.

      Vegans should wake up a bit. I’m vegetarian. It was never about animal suffering. There are people suffering right now. For me it’s about our survival. It’s unsustainable.

      I think that meat and dairy are both unethical, but other animals do eat meat. AFAIK, humans are the only animal that drinks milk outside of their species. (Or drinks milk as an adult, for that matter!)
