"war in Britain. All my childhood I heard endless stories about the state of children who came into her care. She told me especially about the number of children with chronic rickets- their legs so bowed they could barely stand on them- and a very frequent sight - until, by law, all children were given a bottle of milk ... by the way- I am probably 99.365 devoted raw vegan :). Well, today, anyway."

Suse, yes, some have no idea of the crimes, the starvation, the things that go on in the world, then just jump in go raw vegan, plain raw, plain vegan, frugivore, fastaholic, fruitarian, 'SAD/SUkD vegan' or whatever and tell everyone to do the same as they do and try to put them down. btw, was the bottle of milk raw? i think pasteurized milk can cause ricketts.

Hard to say if it was raw or not- I can't remember when everything started to be pasteurised- although it is probably true to say that the cattle were differently fed then anyway, the soil was less depleted etc etc. I completely appreciate the value in the notion that humans are the only species who take in 'another mother's' milk- but, at the same time, I am very grateful to those animals who helped alleviate the suffering of children- and yes, i also appreciate that their lives were textured with their own suffering.

Suse, I hate to say something to support it at all, because at heart I don't want to take anything, but I've had friends/family in the same town as me while i was nursing who couldn't give breastmilk to their own children. I breastfed their children when they telephoned me or handed them to me. I didn't ask payment. I would never think of that. Maybe a family who has a cow, maybe the cow feels how I did for those children. It created much more of a bond, and I mean a loving bond. I realize that cow has no choice, it's owned like a slave, but even a slave has warm feelings.

no....most of the time i think my words aren't worth the time it takes for someone to read them

you obviously do, though...why don't you stop being so cryptic and say what you mean

i actually just laughed at the humour and truth in the graffiti
