Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad

  Commie thinks that milk is just a byproduct of cows existing. Friendlymessage correctly points out that you need to repeatedly get cows pregnant and feed them to produce milk and nobody would do it if there wasn’t a market demand.

    Commie implied that milk was farmed before markets existed and I was honestly baffled

      I didn’t have a good grasp of history. apparently we mined before developing agriculture, which is wild to me.

        What would mining have to do with agriculture and therefore milk?

    You don’t need to keep getting them pregnant, you just need to consistently keep milking them. Milk production continues for as long as it is not left untaken. Definitely not vegan at all.

      That’s absolutely incorrect. It’s a significant amount of time, around 10 months, but you have to repeatedly get a cow pregnant over their useful life in order to continue getting milk from them.

        I stand corrected.

    there’s zero situation where milk can be ethically vegan if that’s your ethical framework.

    risking incivility, duh.

    it’s an animal product

    Commie sounds like a baby leftist that hasn’t read Das Kapital yet. He wouldn’t be trying to make this argument if he actually read Marx.

  friendlymessage is arguing that if there’s no demand for milk (ie people stop drinking milk), then the production of milk will fall or cease.

  I have no idea what commie is talking about

  I think commie begins saying that milk is naturally produced during the normal birthing of young. Then gets side tracked by the commercial aspect of milk as a product. Namely, no demand, no product. I could be wrong…
