Denmark’s “Pig Election” matters far beyond Denmark for healthy water - Greenpeace International

Denmark’s “Pig Election” shows how industrial meat and dairy are polluting drinking water and why this fight matters far beyond Denmark. From nitrate contamination to pesticide pollution, communities are pushing back against Big Ag and demanding a different food system.

🧬 From a single amino acid in bovine beta‑casein to ancestral herds and modern grocery shelves, the A1 and A2 story shows how small shifts can reshape daily rituals. If this quiet dairy archaeology speaks to you, the full article lives in the original post for a slower, deeper look. ✍️

People are feeding it to infants and churning it while jogging. What the heck?

I think dairy companies should be forced to put labels on their products, in the same way that tobacco companies are forced to put pictures on boxes of cigarettes. This milk can cause heat waves, floods, tropical diseases etc.

Dairy vs. plant-based milk: what are the environmental impacts?

A growing number of people are interested in switching to plant-based alternatives to dairy. But are they better for the environment, and which is best?

The dairy industry is the meat industry. 💔 If you care about animals, look beyond meat. 🐮 #vegetarian #govegan #dairy

… shifting to #plantbased diets and less #beef & #dairy offers many co-benefits: lower food costs, adequate #nutrition, less GHG #emissions, lower mitigation #costs, less air #pollution & better #health, less water scarcity, more afforestation, and #biodiversity gains.

@Nigel_Lake #Vegan has proved a step too far for me, although I like some vegan #foods. I'm a #vegetarian, rather than a vegan - I just can't do without my #eggs & #dairy, although I have tried. A much-reduced #meat diet, & one with a certain amount of #fish, would suit a lot of people, would be healthy, & good for the #planet!

Mediterranean diet can reduce risk of stroke by up to 25%, long-term study suggests

Two-decade study indicates a diet rich in olive oil, nuts, seafood and vegetables can cut risk of every type of stroke
