I would go so far as to say that the consumption of dairy products is entirely anti-motherhood.
I am baffled that any lactating woman would choose to support the dairy
industry. When one understands the hormones, the relationship, the science
and the spirit of breastfeeding one’s child, how does someone willingly
deprive another mother and child of that experience simply to sate a desire
for cheese?
When you’re a mother, particularly when breastfeeding, how do you mentally
disconnect from the reality of what cow milk is and who it is really
intended for?
I would go so far as to say that the consumption of dairy products is
entirely anti-motherhood. The dairy industry exploits and destroys the
mother-child biological bond, and, after personally experiencing pregnancy
and breastfeeding, I can honestly say that being kept pregnant, having my
babies taken from me, and being hooked up to a milk pump every day is
literally my idea of the worst kind of hell.
As women in the world, as people who can understand clearly what the modern
dairy industry is and does, isn’t it our responsibility to bring attention
to this topic?
Is it not up to us – as the carers, as empathetic humans, as the lactating sex, and as the main shoppers in most households, to do everything we can personally do to stop this unnecessary cruelty? Even if that is through the very simple personal action of choosing plant milk at the supermarket.
