This is cool, but -
Can we promise we won't one day vilify milk drinkers as climate change enablers? I know the "slippery slope" is a fallacy, but it seems ever more clear that normal people sometimes don't call out unreasonable claims when they are said with some semblance of righteous indignation.
Milk drinking is an impressive and valuable accomplishment of human civilization. I hope we create sustainable ways to develop bio-identical milk, but I also hope we don't prematurely outlaw milk in the name of "science" without properly understanding the trade-offs.
- nickff 6y agoI'm not sure what the trade-offs are for drinking milk (aside from the obvious ones like calcium intake and methane production), but I am almost certain that milk drinkers will be vilified. We seem to live in a rage-driven world, where you're on one team or the other, and agnosticism is unacceptable.
