Abstract

The question is all about lactation stress on Mother Cows induced by milk production needs to fulfill milk consumption needs of modern humans. Maybe home “adulteration” of milk with water before personal use could evolve facultative vegans to embrace “diluan” philosophy for maybe reducing if not eliminating lactation stress on Mother Cows while relishing consumption of milk in personally diluted forms.
