That may be, but I'm not sure how that's relevant as a justification for consuming dairy today.agnus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 5:18 am What I meant was that once cows start producing milk again for their calves, it might be quite painful for them
I read that here at https://www.theguardian.com/notesandque ... 94,00.html
A 1/6th reduction in milk production by eliminating waste is going to do very little for animal suffering and environmental problems.agnus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 5:18 amBut I think we should look more into the food waste - one study showed that one in six pints of milk thrown away each year

Milk production can be reduced as long as humans start to understand their food needs and buy as much as they need
Less by 1/6th is better than nothing for sure, but doing less bad isn't really a justification is it? That is if you even have a way to reduce that waste: if you're buying commercial milk you're not doing less bad because milk is being wasted on your behalf by a wasteful supply line. You'd have to have your own cow and be milking your own to make sure it's not wasted.
