because the dairy industry is tax subsidized & pays for propaganda commercials to make people think you need cow's milk as an adult

I don't know a single person who consumes milk because they think they require it. They just like the taste of dairy products.

The subsidization is an issue imo, but I don't think people are as brainwashed regarding milk as you assume.

My fart levels get dangerously low if I don't consume enough dairy.

I love ice cream!...made from oat milk. Or soy milk.

...or because it tastes good.

and as we all know, taste justifies every kind of cruelty. /s

I mean, I understand criticizing the dairy industry, but another big factor is that milk also taste good. Humans drank milk before it was industrialized.
