An open letter to Got Milk?

Hello,

 I felt that I had to write--your new "name the ingredients in imitation milk" commercial makes me angry--soy milk and other alternatives do contain additives, but the ones you mentioned are mostly vitamins--this is like eating enriched bread or taking a vitamin. So much better than ingesting the antibiotics and hormones that most conventional milk contains. Not to mention that most dairy cows live in incredibly inhumane conditions that the government could care less about improving.

Additionally, milk and other dairy products are often the culprit in skin rashes and respiratory conditions. I myself spent hundreds of dollars over the years managing eczema, and when I finally removed dairy from my diet, it went away. I know a five year old who vomited almost daily, and when he stopped eating dairy, it stopped. He also no longer had a face covered in dripping snot. Overconsumption of dairy and animal products is linked to breast cancer, heart disease, cholesterol problems, and more. Dairy is something that if consumed, should be done in very small quantities, and the source should be organic and preferably unpasteurized. Most Americans consume too much dairy already.

To whoever is reading this--get a new job! Or at least advocate for raw, organic milk. Conventional dairy and flesh production is a horrible, torturous business.

Thank you for reading,
