    FWIW, I am not strictly vegan, but the vast majority of my meals are. And I am actually lactose intolerant. I do actually like the taste of a really cold glass of whole milk. And ice cream is amazing. If I am having some kind of spread, I prefer real butter to the fake stuff. Dairy is delicious. I just try to minimize my intake and only buy from the farms that spend the most on animal welfare.

    poore nemecek is bad science. if the findings are anywhere near accurate, surely someone can establish them without combining disparately methodized LCA studies.

      You just don’t know when to stop lying.

        I haven’t lied about anything, and your link shows that.

  They are not pregnant, they get prolactin, which you can buy at every pharmacy. It works on men as well.

    What the fuck are you talking about, and why is this garbage upvoted? Prolactin can affect milk yield. But “they are not pregnant” is absolutely categorical horseshit. You’ve either bought a lie or are lying. Look at that paper and see the disgusting, brutal efficiency with which the dairy industry researches how best to precisely rape and forcibly impregnate cows for dairy production so they can eke out fractions of a cent on each gallon sold.

    “Soy will give you boobs.” “Prolactin without pregnancy can drive commercial milk production.” I’ll bet transfems wish they could live in this universe of bizarre misconceptions about an omnivorous lifestyle.

      The universe of bizarre omnivore misconceptions is apparently just a transfem paradise.

      Brand new sentence.

    Any sources for your claims? AFAIK prolacitine is basically irrelevant for cows (and goat).

  Basically, nobody sells it, but you could technically produce milk in a way more animal friendly way. The current breads of cows all over the world have an influx in milk production, so even if you do not take the calf away and milk them manually, it would still be enough milk to use/sell.

  This is all hugely theoretical unless you yourself have a couple cows that you milk for personal use or a small farm.

  You are probably just anti-milk industry than actually anti-milk.

    I have a simpler solution. Humans make milk.

  cows are constantly pregnant in order to produce that milk

  this just isn’t trur

    Don’t tell me you’re going to “um ackshually” this because “muh voluntary waiting period0*”. A cow pregnancy lasts approximately 40 weeks. A traditional target for a “calving cycle” (from insemination to insemination) is 52 weeks, and new research shows that a VWP of 50 days is more profitable, bringing this VWP to about 7 weeks rather than 12. That’s either pregnant or attempting artificial insemination for 45 out of 52 weeks, and you know what? I’d say @okwhateverdude@lemmy.world’s comment holds.

    Commie, I know you’re chronically a shameless, lying fuck about a specific study because it’s devastating to your case, but can you at least stick to lies that people might believe if you say it with enough absolute, unearned confidence? Imagine how fucking slimy you’d have to be to say being pregnant ~86.5% of the time (with the recovery period calculated to be as ruthlessly minimal as possible) isn’t “constantly pregnant”.

    * the VWP is the time after birth but before attempting rebreeding

      incredibly, you’re saying I am right, and then calling me a list, them you linked a thread that shows me eviscerating the very study you claim I am lying about.

      anyone who reads will be able to see I’ve been perfectly honest here (and there), and your characterization of me as a list is, itself, the lie
