Ridiculous statement, isn’t it? WE AGREE. It is just as ridiculous as BIG DAIRY’s advertising slogan: “9 out of 10 U.S. Olympians grew up drinking milk.” So, what did we do about it? Switch4Good put up a billboard at Beverly & Sweetzer in Hollywood–and plastered posters all around LA–to expose the deadly truth about cow’s milk. Most Americans grew up drinking milk because BIG DAIRY lied to us all. Working in collusion with the Federal Government, BIG DAIRY sold us the lie that “Milk does a body good.” They said we needed milk to be healthy and have strong bones. But it’s just not true. Here are the important facts that the Dairy Industry has hidden from you 👇 Dairy: 1. Kills People. 2. Kills the environment. 3. Kills the truth. 4. Kills cows. 5. Kills food justice.

Once again, the government is coming to the rescue for the dying industry that is Big Dairy and looking to buy 47 million pounds of cheese to force down the throats of Americans through schools and food banks. Fluid milk sales are declining, farmers are dumping excess milk into fields, prices are plummeting, the planet is burning, cows are dying, the plant-milk industry is booming(!), and the government can’t seem to let cow’s milk go even though Americans want to let it go! This also shows us how little the government cares about the health of the U.S. population. Cheese is highly processed, loaded with trans and saturated artery-clogging fats, and linked to an increased risk of hormone-dependent cancers. Want to see the research? We have tons of evidence-based research on our website that outlines the dangers of consuming dairy, as mentioned above.

July 6th is World Zoonosis Day which commemorates French biologist Louis Pasteur who successfully administered the first vaccine against a zoonotic disease- Rabies. According to the CDC and the World Health Organization, 60% of infectious diseases are zoonotic, and 70%-75% of emerging infectious diseases originate in animals. Why should we care? Well, multiple times per day on a daily basis, we willingly put diseased animals in our bodies when we put them on our plates. STAY TUNED! In the Fall, we’re diving deeper into this conversation to show you that cows used in dairy might be more connected to disease than we’re made to believe! #cow #cows #zoonotic #zoo #zoonosis

“We had been doing studies to figure out how good protein was, and they were done on weanling rats, four weeks old, and these little rats could double their weight in four weeks if they were fed cheese or meat. And those studies have still been a foundation for some of the protein quality assessments. For example, in Canada, we’re still using Protein Efficiency Ratio as a standard. And not that many people I know, in fact, I can’t think of one that I’ve met, want to double their weight in four weeks like these little rats did.” If you are vegan or vegetarian, at some point, someone, somewhere, has probably asked you how you get enough protein. It’s a common misconception that a plant-based diet is deficient in protein. However, in their new book, Plant-Powered Protein: Nutrition Essentials and Dietary Guidelines for All Ages, our guests today, dietitians Brenda Davis (@brendadavisrd) and Vesanto Melina (@vesanto.melina), debunk the myth that you can’t get quality protein without eating animals. The book provides an abundance of evidence for why plant protein is, in fact, the superior choice. This is their 7th book together and their 20th in total, many of them bestsellers. Brenda Davis is widely regarded as the Godmother of Vegan Dietitians. You might also remember Brenda from her amazing appearance on episode #92 of the Switch4Good podcast. Vesanto Melina is a consultant for the government of British Columbia and recipient of the prestigious Clintec Award for leadership in dietetics.

Ireland’s beyond tragic proposal to slaughter 200,000 cows in an attempt to mitigate climate change speaks to just how detrimental animal farming is to our planet and acknowledges that we are in a climate crisis- as we know. We have brought our planet to the point of no return for unnecessary products that are terrible for our health, the health of the planet, and the safety of the animals and life on Earth 🌍 Let’s take a look at some stats: 🐮 Animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of GHG emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation. 🐮 Livestock and their byproducts account for at least 32,000 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, or 51% of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. 🐮 Livestock is responsible for 65% of all human-related emissions of nitrous oxide – a GHG with 296 times the global warming potential of CO2, and which stays in the atmosphere for 150 years. 🐮 Cows produce 150 billion gallons of methane per day.

A Utah teacher went viral for giving her students an extra credit assignment encouraging them to eat insects for a lesson on climate change, claiming that doing so would alleviate some of the harm done by raising cattle and eating cows because cows are “killing the Ozone layer with methane gas”. While the assignment was met with disgust by her student’s parents and ranchers, the overall message of the assignment was missed and ignored and was referred to as “climate religion”. 🐮 So, let’s acknowledge her message. Are cows killing the Earth? According to research, they sure are. Breeding cows into existence by the millions and farming animals is destroying our planet. Our planetary responsibly resource (Switch4Good.org/planetary-responsibility) outlines some pretty staggering evidence-based stats on just how detrimental animal agriculture is to the planet. A few are included in this post (SWIPE 🔬), but for the full stats, visit the link in our Instagram stories or the link above to see our comprehensive Planetary Responsibility resource 🌍 Be sure to visit Switch4Good.org for free resources, research, recipes and more to help you remove dairy from your diet for the planet, your health, food justice and the animals.

Fluid milk production has been steadily declining over the last 70 years, but over the last decade, we’ve seen the most dramatic decline of over 20%. Big Dairy is desperate to get cow’s milk into the mouths of anyone and everyone, but especially into the mouths of our nation’s children. To boost the demand for cow’s milk, dairy companies are creating “unique, novelty” items, many of which appeal to children, from colorful rainbow milk to packaging featuring the most popular cartoon characters. Big Dairy just can’t help themselves when it comes to taking advantage of kids👇 On a much larger scale, we have the major issue of The National School Lunch Program which puts over 50 million children’s health at risk via a federal mandate requiring cow’s milk be served on lunch trays. Not only is cow’s milk the most common and severe food allergy among children under 16, but over 1/3 of the population is lactose intolerant, disproportionally affecting individuals of color. Around 29% of unopened cow’s milk cartons are thrown into the trash each year, which is $300 million waste of taxpayer dollars. So, what are we doing about it? We introduced The ADD SOY Act into the House which would make soy milk, a beverage recognized by the USDA as nutritionally equivalent to cow’s milk, reimbursable through the NSLP. Kids will finally have a nutritious, safe beverage to drink that won’t make them sick. 🚨 WE NEED 60 SECONDS OF YOUR TIME TO HELP OUR NATION’S CHILDREN.
