Thanks for your feedback Bhadra. It saddens me too that these days cows aren’t treated fairly and their exploitation has become norm. I find it mirrors the exploitation of mother Nature that is currently taking place at large. I’m also grateful that here in the UK we can source milk from free grazing cows, which is rare in other countries.
When properly consumed, Milk and its derivatives constitute a key source of nourishment not only for the body but also for the mind. Raising the awareness of our symbiotic relationship with mother nature and mother cow may perhaps encourage farmers to develop better management system for them.

A great article, my dear friend, stating the facts so clearly. I’ve never had any doubt as to whether milk is a good food or not, and have always experienced what feels like a psychological need for milk and milk products like butter and yoghurt. I cannot live without them. But what saddens me is the torture the mother cow is going through in this age. Because of this I buy very few milk products at mainstream outlets nowadays, and mostly only use the pure raw milk from the protected cow nearby to where I live. I am very grateful for this cow and to the people who care for her and milk her, and want to encourage cow protection and pure milk production everywhere. Thankyou again for the post.

Great, thank you Esmee, this looks like a fine source of good quality milk. I’ll get some next time I’m in Gloucestershire.

Another supplier of organic, un-homogenised milk is Jess’s Ladies from Gloucestershire. They also opposed the badger cull which pleased me.
