Oh that maybe it as I don't drink coffee ever or coke regularly.

sausage4ever said:Considering it has been said that only 25% of Caribbeans can are lactose tolerant it's pretty unnatural, if you think about it nothing else on the planet drinks milk into adulthood. People drive car unaided and fly in aurplanes but that's not natural.

I wasn't pulling my figures out of thin air. The truth of the matter is MOST people can't digest milk. You and I CAN but we aren't the whole world.
And you may not have noticed but humans haven't "evolved" much since being on this earth, as far as homo sapiens are involved we've only managed to get rid of the use of our wisdom teeth to the point where kids are being born without.
Also being a poet is technically not unnatural as none of us know if other animals make poems we just assume they don't.
Tarah, somehow your Veg. Thread turned into an all out nutritional discussion. Still very fun to comment in.

So basically during the whole process the animals were treated with respect even if they were going to get killed in the end. In the case of retired egg laying chickens, breeding animals & dairy cows, as well the male offspring of diary cows & chickens. Well, for these animals to be retired to a nice paddock or re-homed to compassionate people or, if the other two choices aren't possible, then quickly PTS by a good vet (the way companion animals are). No animals would be slaughtered at a slaughterhouse. The buthcer would go the the animals and "do the deed" quickly and efficiently and there be restrictions to the number of animals that can be killed during a period of time. Say no more than 4 animals killed per hour - this excludes cutting the body up.
I bet there would be a significant number of people who would be willing to pay extra for these assurances. Why hasn't anyone created this industry? I know my family would be in for it. I'd be willing to pay up to triple, heck even quadruple, what the going cost of milk is, so long as I have these guarantees.
