Congrats to Notmilk Reader (& Writer)
On April 19, 2005, after reading a bit of dairy industry
propaganda (Hoard's Dairyman had reported, "A strictly
vegetarian diet harms children's growth."😉, I posted this
column:
<http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/notmilk/message/1991 >
One Notmilk reader, Ann Mallon, wrote a letter of protest
to the editor of Hoard's. I was pleased to see the
following on page 374 of the May 25, 2005 issue of the
National Dairy Farm Magazine:
"The Vegetarian Side
Please check your sources before you make such a
report as you did (April 10 issue, page 255) saying
vegan children are unhealthy. Meat is a multi-business
industry, and this was taken advantage to disseminate
propaganda.
Your claims are complete rubbish. I am a nutritionist and
a vegan and previously was unhealthy eating a meat diet.
I also was anemic. Plant foods are what nature intended
for us, not carcasses.
Meat is such big dollars, and that's why it exists today.
The companies want to frigthen vegans off by implanting
their evil lies. That lie now exists as justification
for meat producers to condemn a plant-based diet as
being unhealthy. One molehill of propaganda has grown
into a mountain of misunderstanding."

Thanks, Ann! Great letter. :>😉
