cancer can definitely be linked to the carcinogens in those things you listed, and organic is definitely better, but i find the stories of people who cut out dairy & became healthier to be very compelling. |
In some countries they do eat chipmunk and if we didn't eat cows and other animals the world would be over run with them. If a cow's milk is only for their (one) calf, then why do they have 4 teats? For mass production perhaps?
