Humans Aren't Supposed to Eat Dairy

[Terrywoodenpic]

Kent is a beautiful area. Thanks for sharing. But, again, ...

You claimed that "humans had always been able to consume sheep goat, and camel and many other non bovine milks." I asked for evidence supporting this claim and I've yet to see it. Do you know of any such evidence?

From WIKI
Neolithic farmers began to herd wild goats primarily for easy access to milk and meat, as well as to their dung, which was used as fuel, and their bones, hair and sinew for clothing, building and tools.[1] The earliest remnants of domesticated goats dating 10,000 years before present are found in Ganj Dareh in Iran. Goat remains have been found at archaeological sites in Jericho, Choga Mami[7]Djeitun and Çayönü, dating the domestication of goats in Western Asia at between 8000 and 9000 years ago.[5]

We Either never had much of a problem with Goat and sheep milk or we became able to ingest it long before we domesticated and milked cows.

Have at it.

I think we are not supposed to.

We aren't supposed to do a lot of things.

Dairy is an excellent source of calcium, particularly for pregnant, lactating and aging women. I thoroughly enjoy most cheeses and whether I'm supposed to enjoy it or not, I do and will continue to in the foreseeable future.

Asses our biology and what we appear made/evolved to eat. What we can better chew, digest, etc. Our biology is far closer to that of herbivores, for example. No other animal really eats/drinks milk products after weaning. Over 70% of humans cannot digest milk properly and there is zero evidence that milk in any form is good for us. A major problem is that most of the 'studies' done have been funded by the dairy industry to forward their profits.

Humans are animals just like other animals and we have a set diet.

Bull crapazola.

Dairy has been recommended to me by a physician on multiple occasions.

It was recommended that I drink low-fat or non-fat dairy when dieting, as it yields a great source of lean protein and Vitamin D. Dairy is, after all, included on the food pyramid. In moderation, it's a source of healthy fat, protein, calcium & Vitamin D.

Women, especially, should consume at least 2-3 servings of calcium rich food per day. Yes, you can certainly get calcium in veggies, but, dairy yields an enjoyable and versatile way to get in extra Vitamin D and Calcium, both important.

For those of us who cannot naturally breastfeed (exclusively), formula derived from cow's milk serves as an excellent source of nutrition and post weaning.

On another vegan note, if a milk cow isn't milk, they suffer. They need to be milked or can suffer pain and mastitis, so milking cows is to take care of them. This means, milk should be by vegan standards (not make animals suffer) be part of their diet.

Yup.

Some even claim we're not supposed to have clothes on. Should nudism be mandated?

Talking about clothes, what is the vegan stand on wool? If vegans don't drink milk because the industrialization of milk production is evil, is the industrialization of wool production from sheep evil as well and wool shouldn't be worn?
