No matter what we eat some living thing gets “abused”

Yes Twig, that’s the point. That it’s either mechanized cruelty or weirdly sexualized is just a punchline used to vent personal critique with the system through cynicism.

Should I have made the punchline of the shitpost about artificial insemination? Seemed like low-hanging fruit. I assumed that the idea of a dude groping an animal’s mammary glands carried its own implications of weirdness, and that readers were familiar with what triggers lactation. But, as they say, when you assume… Now you and me are both asses.

oat milk has sugar in it, soy just have this wierd taste i cant stand.

Conceptually, yeah. But I can’t classify any product that has its roots in seeds/pesticides/herbicides produced for monoculture then processed and packaged by conglomerates that leave the brand name of the farms and small producers they bought out so they could peddle the fiction of “small farm” or “ethical” as a win. It’s a step in the right direction, but like so many things capitalism gets its hands on, it’s also often greenwashed to target buyers who want to feel like their choice is ethical but we’re still buying from shitty companies that profit from your soy milk purchase just as much as from someone else’s whole milk purchase. There’s not a lot of environmentally conscious, sustainably grown, artisanal soy milk made from heirloom seeds being sold at farmer’s markets.

You can (or could?) get ice cream made from human milk (in NYC?), apparently, though.

To make cow cheese they use calf stomach, or whatever rennet is.

Has to be, only way it makes sense and would explain why i was surprised over it as I'm form EU and it's significantly less people are effected here.

Depending on the severity of the effects, those are survivable or even just slightly uncomfortable. While allergies can be lethal.

Though that's up to each individual to decide.

milk allergy is quite rare, and you likely have another condition too.

Diarrhea can be kinda dangerous, but yeah, bloating and gas are just mild inconveniences. Basically just a side effect of eating some foods anyway or sometimes in bigger amounts.
