Meneka Gandhi Theory for Cow's Milk!

Meneka Gandhi claims that milk is not for humans. It is made by cow for her calf and no one has right on it other than her baby. She has given tons and reasons about milk is not good for human's health and basically we cannot digest milk at all. She has also compared milk with eating plastic 🤢 . She has also written book called "Heads & Tails- A fresh deal for animals in the new millennium"

anyways, so I would like to know what you all have to say about it? Do you agree with Meneka Gandhi's theory? We are raised with parents telling us to drink milk and now this theory is totally opposite. Here is a link that you could refer to.

Soumya most vegans would personally agree with Maneka's theory !!

I have met a few vegans who tried to convert me too without luck as i love my morning cold coffee to the point of obsession !! 😆

You are right. I have a friend who after reading her book stopped drinking milk and since last 6 months she is not drinking milk. I agree with her though that Doctors in India have really poor nutritious background. Have you ever heard from Indian Dr. asking to eat Banana 'coz they have calcium? I have heard it and most of the people are misleaded with this...banana has 0% calcium!!! So I agree with some of her facts, also what she said about cow being pregnant every year for milk and then calf being starved and not given milk of her mother.

I am not taking any side, 'coz my knowledge is not enough to judge anything at any point but I definetly dont want to read that book after my friend stopped drinking milk. I love milk!

I didn't know banana had calcium, I know it increases ability to absorb calcium. There is no mention of calcium here also 😕https://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid= 7

That's what I said. Banana does not have calcium! yes, it has lot of potassium. However, I have heard from not only one but couple Dr's in India advising to eat Banana as they have calcium which is wrong. I was telling that Meneka Gandhi was talking about Indian Dr's and their Nutritious backround ...its like layman and I agree with her upto certain extend.

Oops sorry..😳 I understood it wrong cause I never heard that banana had calcium.

Yeah this is one issue that has several opponents going after Gandhi, she calls it poison as according to her human beings continue to have wellinto their adult life whereas animals are weened out much earlier. Scientifically, it has not been proven and the issue is debatable.
In Ayurveda, the stress on milk rather than on water all medicines have to be consumed with milk. I like milk shakes, shrikandh and curds.

Thats the most absurd thing Ive heard! Lol..I just had to say that. Well..hm..if it wasnt for milk my family and I would not survive! For a family of 10 we need 15 cartons of milk! But I think the theory that this women has said is well..very foolish. Also I have a question..dont calfs drink water??😕 How come this lady is saying that when a cow delivers milk its for her calf😕 Please answer this question for me..if Im wrong I will edit my post and add on to my viewz.

Priya

ive np drinking milk jis ko nahi peena na peye

ell, i have heard her stand that milk is not for humans..but then again, it's personal choice..i can't imagine life w/o milk..no coffee...cold coffee..shakes..kheers..etc etc...

plus, research is done regulary about milk and it's benfits and disadvantages..some say..milk is good..others are against milk consumption..ah! sow hat has a human gotta do?caugth b/w researchers theories..well..we get to choose..have milk if u like to..hehe...

But what id otn like is that sometimes these dairy farm people don't let the calf have teh milk which is utter injustice....first teh calf should be let to have milk and later the milk should be taken out for our consumption!
