- Huh? I don't understand what could be unethical about eating milk or
- milk products. Is it that you consider it wrong, or immoral, to take
- the milk of the cow and use it as food? What would you do with it,
- other than to feed calves? What if there are no calves to feed?
- Would you rather take it and feed the pigs, and then eat the pigs?
- No, I doubt it...
-
- Would you rather throw it out? I mean, the cow has _got_ to be milked.
-
- Is it that you consider it immoral to raise and keep cows?
- Or is it something to do with the "morality" of cholesterol?

- And if you consider drinking a milkshake to be unethical, do you
- consider those teenagers who work at McDonald's who _sell_ milkshakes
- to be acting immorally? Am I immoral for putting milk in my coffee?
