I like the taste of cow milk. I don't care if it ends up takes a month or so off of my life.

And really, that video........you think all facilities do that sort of stuff? It's easy when you can cherry-pick the bad ones and try to claim all of them do that.

know though, that whatever image of a dairy farm you have in your head thats clashing with the images in those videos, are just as cherry picked, most likely even more so. course the average is somewhere inbetween. but the average is certainly closer to the bad extreme than to the good.
dairy farming isnt as lucrative a business as it used to be and the well being of the cows is the easiest and quickest variable to keep the whole thing profitable

I wasn't claiming all facilities are clean from such things. TC's own video proves that, but when he's going about that 99% of facilities do that, how exactly are you going to prove that with a few cherry-picked clips?

you dont have to give a shit. but your argument why you dont and dont have to, thats a nonsense argument. animals dont exist because they're useful to us. how egocentrical can you're selfperception be?

dont get me wrong, i drink milk and eat flesh. but i have the decency to feel bad about it to a certain degree because i can accept the fact that animals aren't mind- and soulless creatures. those animals are an integral part of your wellbeing and their suffering for your wellbeing at least deserves to be recognized.
If my ego was a gravity well, it would suck the whole Milky Way all the way down my gullet. We're the apex species on this planet and literally everything else lives or dies because we allow it to. There is literally nothing stopping us from turning the surface of the planet into glass with nukes, but as you've probably noticed, we haven't done that. Why? Because we need this planet to survive. It's really very simple. I also don't "feel bad" for farm animals - they're literally bred for specific purposes and these species are only so common because we found them useful. It's sad that animals have to suffer in order for me to eat produce, but the benefits outweigh the sacrifice, for both species. Cows, chickens or sheep have no chance of going extinct for as long as we find them useful - that's an excellent evolutionary strategy.
As you get older, lactase production decreases so people get lactose intolerant.
Please do your research.
It's a matter of evolution - humans in some areas evolved to continue lactase production into adulthood, some didn't. Your claim was that drinking milk is the cause of lactose intolerance - it's not. Lactase production does decrease with age - some people don't produce it at all, for some the decrease starts at the age of 2, for some it's 20, some others produce it throughout adulthood. It's entirely a matter of genetics, not "milk consumption" - your claim is bogus.

THE MAJORITY TURNS LACTOSE INTOLERANT
I never said milk consumption causes people to be lactose intolerant, learn to read.

You literally said that people "get" lactose intolerant because they're not supposed to drink milk. You don't "get" lactose intolerance - you either have it or you don't. The "majority" is a skewed statistic - only 10% of Americans are lactose intolerant while 99% of the Chinese develop it at some point in life. It's almost as if it had something to do with geography, access to milk and evolution over thousands of years, whooptie doodle.

"Most" people can't digest lactose correctly because the Chinese constitute a huge portion of the population, it's a massive landmass, go figure.

Even though the media tries to brainwash people, milk does not
Strengthen your bones and it is not the best source of calcium.
Even if you're not a vegan you should accept this. :)

-gyno because of all the hormones
-excess use of antibiotics which creates resistant bacteria
The US is not the rest of the world. Here in Italy, using hormones on cows isn't allowed. Chances are it's not allowed in Belgium (where you live?) as well.
-possible acidation of your blood which needs calcium to make it back neutral which weakens
Your bones because the calcium comes from there

-cows get raped to get milk
Rape is a crime in which an human sexually assaults another human against their will. What is done to cows is not "rape". Why do we deem rape wrong, you ask?
Think about it, there's not a cosmic law which says it's wrong, however as a society we try to protect the citizens. No one wants to be raped, so we eventually got to the conclusion that it's "wrong" and must not be done (and the same applies to theft, murder, etc.)
However, cows aren't citizens of human societies. Using them for milk will only be "wrong" when/if we as a society will decide as such, because of empathy and things like that.

Cool website billy! It has zero sources to back anything up.

Also:There is no reason for people with lactose intolerance to push themselves to drink milk. Indeed, milk does not offer any nutrients that cannot be found in a healthier form in other foods. Surprisingly, milk-drinking does not even appear to prevent osteoporosis, its major selling point

Nice way of sidetracking from your original argument.
1) "milk causes the bones to melt"
2) "you don't *need* dairy products in your diet to be healthy"
1 is pseudoscience, 2 is true.
Also, the article I linked to *has* sources. Studies published on pubmed. Check it better...

It's bad to use social websites for long amounts of time and being glued to the computer/tablet/phone one too many times but it's OK.

Lactose intolerant people shouldn't drink milk for the same reasons why people with peanut allergy shouldn't eat peanuts - that's obvious. You're preaching to the rest of us - people who can, in fact, drink milk and not suffer from explosive diarrhea, and you have no evidence beyond a crackpot video and a study that you've misread.

Good job posting a website promoting Dr. Oz and vegan diets under an article that uses statistics and studies from the 1960'ties, 1970'ties, 1980'ties and 1990'ties. Sounds about as reliable as the Titanic. I think you should go as far back as the 1930'ties, when people used to buy radioactive skincare (no joke, some facial creams contained radium and were advertised as radioactive - gives your face that special glow).

Speaking of things that are bad for you, add soy to the mix. Here's a horror story:

Excessive consumption of soy leads to suppression of testosterone production and an increase in estrogen production. Enjoy men with breasts, idiot.
