This is the milk used in our school lunch programs and served to our children. This is the milk that you buy every day. This is the milk used in all cheeses, yogurts, butter, and cream.

Once they strike, the past ceases to be a reliable predictor of the future and a brave new world is born.

  • Medicine allows people to live who would otherwise die, so antibiotics will let people survive infections that they might be otherwise very vulnerable to and even little things might make a big difference, so I wear eyeglasses because my eyes aren't particularly strong, before there were eyeglasses someone at my age would probably not be good for much.

A lot of that just comes from the meat production industry. Well, do we worry about it? Well, we ought to be.

It's against life-against humanity-to think that way.
