Painful mastitis is so prevalent in dairy cows, due to machines sucking on their teats throughout their short but continually lactating lives, that the USDA sets limits on how much pus is allowed to be included in their milk consumed by the public.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of soy, almond, or rice milks; but on my cereal, I can't tell the difference between them and the cruel version.Charlie Talberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267737011472607186noreply@blogger.com
