Fact: 20% of all beef comes from Dairy cows. Of the 9 million dairy cows in the U.S., about 3 million are slaughtered each year at only a fraction of their natural lifespan. (While the natural lifespan of a cow is 15-20 years, Dairy cows are killed at around 4-6 years of age, after years of enduring cruelty and suffering.)
Fact: The Dairy industry IS the Veal industry. Approximately 700,000 calves are slaughtered for veal in the U.S. annually, and about 21,000,000 dairy calves are slaughtered for veal or cheap beef every year globally. Most calves at veal farms are confined in small indoor pens and fed formula until the day they’re killed, at just 18 to 20 weeks old. About 15 percent of U.S. veal comes from “bob veal” calves. These are newborns sent directly to slaughter, some with their umbilical cords still attached.
Diets high in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease, which remains America’s top killer. Milk and other dairy products are the top sources of saturated fat in the American diet. Milk products also contain cholesterol and typical cheeses are 70% fat. The casein protein increases the cholesterol in the blood, leading to atherosclerosis (plaque build up inside the inner artery walls, which may ultimately constrict blood flow and cause a heart attack or stroke). And research has linked the high fat content and hormones in milk, cheese, and other dairy products to breast cancer, as well as the casein protein to prostate and colon cancer.
