11. Here's the "racist drink" info
I honestly don't care for the terminology here, but for clarity's sake, the reason that PETA has stated milk is a "racist drink" (from what I understand) is because it's unhealthy, and a large proportion of minorities (especially African Americans) are lactose intolerant. Feeding cow's milk to children, as most parents are taught to believe is proper, is not in the child's best interest, when he or she is lactose intolerant.

I do agree, however, that milk is a beverage born of cruelty, both to mother cow and baby calf. Considering that there would be no such thing as a veal crate if not for the milk industry simply escalates that.
