I think we have to all be in agreement that this was a very successful campaign. The goal was to get people talking and guess what.... 4 pages worth so far. I just picked my daughter up from her Speech nd Debate meeting. Guess what they talked about? I couldn't believe it because I hadn't even heard about it until this thread. How many things to you think spark conversation on the dairy industry amongst middle schoolers?
Many people actually do not know about the dairy industry. A while back I actually got in a "discussion" with my own mother (who is an intelligent college educated woman) because she was convinced that dairy cows were a whole breed unto themselves who just continued to produced milk after birth for however long it was being collected. She honestly didn't believe that they were forced to have baby after baby to produce that milk.
This is the side benefit of the dairy industry btw. Don't let it upset you- they aren't baby cows, they are veal and if we want those cows to produce milk we have to deal with the "veal" right?
