Facts about the Milk You Drink

Very few milk cows ever graze on green pastures. It's much cheaper to confine animals to feed lots than to buy the land needed for grazing. These cows never see a single blade of grass.

Growth hormones and unnatural milking schedules cause their teats to become swollen, sore, and sometimes infected, resulting in frequent infections and overuse of antibiotics.

When a dairy cow has stopped producing milk, she goes to slaughter.
