@BIGSKYHAL50 What planet are you from? One where tall, thin, toned, clear complections are "terrible"? Wow, I'd hate to live there!

i love this book.

Munipulate! Love the word! I have no idea what it means. In today's world, you cannot trust anyone or any organization, I'm saying, see what is really going on, and do not turn a blind eye. From investigating farms and other animal-using industries myself, PETA's claims are a a lot closer to the truth than the industries they're fighting.

[FuttBucker667]

If you honestly believe PETA doesn't lie or munipulate the truth in order to gain support for their cause and to keep their organization alive than there is no point in continuing this conversation. And I'm not trying to dispute the fact that the milk industry is out for profit, of course they are, why they be anything else?

When I used the word propaganda I meant it in terms of misleading publicity. It means both things you know.

[lemeccoreen]

Milk's cause is getting money into their wallets to continue this exploitative lifestyle that people have come to except.

[lemeccoreen]

My point is that I've done investigations on my own of farms and the conditions of animals, PETA's claims are legitimate and the situation in factory farms, circuses, laboratories, etc. is real. The difference between PETA and the dairy industry is that PETA is a non-profit organization while the milk industry is only out for profit. Propaganda is information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause. PETA's cause is to raise awareness of the suffering of animals.

[FuttBucker667]

What's your point? The Dairy Industry is a company just like PETA is an organization, both need money to survive and will lie their asses off to get that money.

[lemeccoreen]

That's right, and the dairy industry didn't force itself on elementary schools, telling them that milk is good for children and sending teachers milk-promoting teaching materials and lesson plans. EVERYONE sees propaganda everyday without even noticing it. Check out the National Dairy Council website. Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin risk getting sued by the meat and dairy industries, they gain nothing from telling you about the realities of milk and meat. Dairy profits everything.

This is a far more important issue than this animal liberation nonsense-

Ounces of Prevention — The Public Policy Case for Taxes on Sugared Beverages

Kelly D. Brownell, Ph.D., and Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H.

Sugar-sweetened beverages (soda sweetened with sugar, corn syrup, or other caloric sweeteners and other carbonated and uncarbonated drinks, such as sports and energy drinks) may be the single largest driver of the obesity epidemic.

[PROFLOP1]

Intake of sugared beverages is associated with increased body weight, poor nutrition, increasing consumption increases risk for obesity and diabetes; the strongest effects are seen in studies with the best methods and interventional studies show that reduced intake of soft drinks improves health.1 Studies that do not support a relationship between consumption of sugared beverages and health outcomes tend to be conducted by authors supported by the beverage industry.
