Chances are you’re a kind and compassionate person, so you may be interested to know this: cows are forcefully impregnated to lactate; 9 months later, their children are taken away from them (they’re very maternal animals, so they’ll run after them, cry and bellow), their male babies are killed young and the females forced through the same tortuous process and constant exploitation of their bodies, year after year, until they’re no longer profitable—at which point all of them are killed against their will, at less than half their normal lifespan.

If your values indicate this is a messed up system you wouldn’t want to support, some good resources include: WatchDominion, Earthling Ed, Gary Yurofski, Challenge22. All best ✌💚

Omgg I really didn’t need to cry rn…. 🥺

And that’s from just hearing about it. Imagine what it’s like to be in that position and be put through all of that. We only hear and see what they must endure with their bodies because of our actions. Your feelings show that you’re empathetic, so all that remains is to put that in practice and align your actions with your values. Being vegan is the only practical solution to not fund animal abuse.

And some PB milks are actually quite good – the oat ‘barista’ ones in particular. Your taste buds also adapt, to the point where you end up getting the same amount of pleasure from products that don’t involve cruelty to innocent, defenceless individuals.

Great TED talk on the psychology of pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX2btaDOBK8
