I'm now starting to believe that images like these are the reason plant-based milk alternatives aren't allowed to be called milk in Germany
- It clearly has nothing to do with the dairy lobby pushing hard everywhere to prevent people from switching to ecologically and humanely better alternative because they don't want to lose the fat subsidies they get from the government.
  They try to push these legislations under the guise that it could induce the consumer in error, my ass.
  Let's blame fun cartoons instead.
  Let's not forget the cost with their lives the cows have to bear for us to get milk.
  Forcefully impregnated, their babies taken away to be slaughtered as veal or to become milk cows. And all that for a fraction of their lifespan only to be slaughtered when their milk production starts to decline...

  At least sometimes there is a bit of push back: https://www.just-food.com/news/eu-rejects-dairy-lobby-proposals-to-restrict-plant-based-alternatives/
  
  I appreciate the passion, my comment was still just a joke though.
  That being said, I saw oat milk yesterday at the same price as cow milk. In other words, not even the financial incentive is left for me to buy cow milk.
  
  Or maybe just because they aren't actually milk
  
  hardly any calves become veal at all. it's a slim percentage.
I have a few questions, but I’m not sure I want the answers.
- Let the curiosity flow through you
What's with the candy corn? 🌽
- Candy corn is a brood parasite who plants its young in almond nests to leech off of their resources and be raised as one of their own.
because the candy corn grows quicker than almonds, it will instinctively push the almondlings out of the nest leaving them to starve, thereby culling the competition to its parasitic consumption of unknowing mother's milk
Brood parasitism
