sandra Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 http://www.ffl.org/html/milk_issue.html I tried veganism myself but i have to reckon i do not thrive on such a diet so i reverted back to lacto-vegetarianism... I have a couple of food allergies that makes it somewhat difficult for me to stick to veganism... I feel so ashamed whenever i have a glass of milk or yogurt... With all the bad press around dairy... Skip the health aspect part cause i do not think cow's milk is bad for you (Sure, the hormones, chemicals, etc that you ingest due to factory farming practice are) but that's a whole seperate issue altogether and i do not want to get in all that right now... But how about the cows being slaughtered and mistreated? Should iskcon devotees buy commmercial milk? The other option is organic milk but the cows still get slaughtered... I read somewhere that to drink the milk of a cow that gets slaughtered afterwards is very inauspicious... So i'm wondering from where do iskcon temples get their milk supply for prasadam, panchamrita, etc? I've heard that some temples do have farms where they raise cows but not all of them... So for the devotee that doesn't have access to such farms what's the more humane option? I'd say organic milk (at least the cows are spared from chemically processed foods, hormones and the likes...) but i'd like to have the opinions of the devotees on this forum. Is there any iskcon devotee raising cows and supplying milk to other devotees in the toronto area? I'm curious to know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maadhav Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 i am a hindu, and as i know, most Hk's use regular dairy milk. i really wish iskcon enter into the orgainc farming and dairy business. i see nothing wrong in it. all the problems you mentioned would then go away.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 is the devil's creation, so the cow is no exception. Do not be attached to it. This goes for both madav and sandra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Cow's milk is meant for the little baby calf. Human have their own milk for their babies. So, humans are stealing milk from the baby calf. Not nice humans. Celestine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maadhav Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 << Cow's milk is meant for the little baby calf. >> nature always produces more milk in cow than the calf needs. we take care of the cow like a mother, and take milk from her. when you say it is stealing, i suppose you do not eat meat. and stealing this way is lot sin-free than eating a cow.
