Went for a few days off CF only to come back disappointed. How did Jesus do this?? I mean, I know He had it MUCH worse, and yet He stood through it all - even those who tried to trip Him up into saying something He didn't.

UUUGgghh!

Sorry, just battling myself.

Learned the truth about the dairy industry today... Now I'm struggling with if becoming a vegetarian isn't good enough and if ethically I'm going to have to become vegan.. Really don't want to be but I just can't see how else I can operate now that I know better. Has anyone else wrestled with this? It's so upsetting how poorly we treat the creatures we've been given charge over. :(

There is a third option. Have you looked into your local farmers markets? One church in or area hosts one and most of the farmers who provide meat, dairy and produce do so the way God intended, as faithful stewards over the land and God's creatures. I am fully of the opinion that meat and dairy are gifts that or loving God has given us to enjoy but you are correct that some practices are very cruel,driven by greed and definitely not of God however that doesn't mean that there aren't good Godly producers out there

I definitely agree with this for meat and eggs.. But i guess i can't think of a way dairy could be produced to a mass market ethically. I had no idea they perpetually impregnated the cows, took their young calves then repeated the cycle to keep the milk going... It just seems beyond cruel :(

Commercial dairy is really cruel but I urge you to look into the independent farmers it is like night and day.
