Go plant milk - Don't support the dairy industry!

With so many plant-based milk replacements, there’s no reason to support the offensive dairy industry.

HOW DAIRY MILK IS “MADE”?

In order to produce dairy milk, cows first need to give birth, just like humans and other animals that produce milk, cows only give milk during a period after giving birth to a baby.

Therefore, the first step in ‘making’ a dairy cow is often giving her fertility hormones.

While the usage of growth hormones in animal agriculture has been banned in the EU for years, there are no restrictions on the usage of fertility hormones. Dairy cows are now being bred to increase their milk production, but a downside of this development is that this has also increasingly led to fertility problems in cows.

HOW DO THEY “SOLVE” THE PROBLEM?

To solve this problem, the usage of fertility hormones is widespread.

Fortunately, there are several types of plant-based milks (that don't feel pain!) now available at your local supermarket!

All supermarkets now stock a huge variety of dairy-free products, and the selection continues to grow. It has never been easier to make the switch.
