Everything I hear how cow farmers need to take care of their stock baffles me more and more how these were able to survive for so long
A cow needs to be milked every certain period to avoid infections, bruising, death
A cow needs help with the birth of a calf, as its sometimes a process which cant be done by a cow itself
A cow builds up gasses in their stomachs, requiring punctures to avoid sickness, death
And not to mention the parasites, specific diets, and maybe some other things I wouldn’t know about
In: Biology
CAFO cows, chickens, pigs, etc. are all strikingly different than their ancestors. They would not eat any corn or corn byproducts, but would graze on mostly grasses and other wild fruits and nuts. Because their diet was healthier and depended on movement to get it, instead of standing around, they were less susceptible to the diseases and problems we see now. The only thing on the planet that ought to drink cow’s milk, are cows. Something like 80+% of people have a form lactose intolerance but just suffer through because they love ice cream and cheese. Because of the industrialization of our food (specifically animal based), our food has reduced in essential nutrients and as a result diets have influenced our brains. One could say our diet and phones are the reason we are depressed, anxious and feel more isolated than ever before.
