Dairy - The Udder Truth
Gooey melted cheese on pizza, a glass of cold milk with freshly baked cookies, ice cream on a hot summer day… who hasn’t at one time or another enjoyed something made from milk?
Dairy products are part of most American diets on a daily basis, but what is the health and environmental impact of this high demand for milk?
The production of much of the milk in this country is done in large scale-operations, some having thousands of cows.
That’s a lot of manure to be dealt with, this reduces the air quality (especially for people living near the dairy operation), and consistently finds its way into our rivers, streams, and groundwater.
