That doesn't mean that 99% of dairy products are from family farms , as the average number of cows on each family farm is just over 100. Families, so the commercials go, don't engage in untoward aspects of animal husbandry that might hurt the cows. The cows' tails swing in the breeze.

Such a vegetarian will, however, object to the drinking of milk, since the production of milk requires a painful separation between cow and calf. To that extent, he will be not only a vegetarian, but also a vegan, one who abstains not only from meat but also from animal products.

Feeding grain to chickens, pigs and cows is even more inefficient, with 70 percent of grain grown in the United States going to animals raised for food. Besides depleting the ocean’s supply of fish for those animals normally feeding on them, the factory farming of cattle, pigs and chickens uses excessive water and pollutes our land.

Niman obscures the well-evidenced connection between veganism and environmentalism. Yet the turkey she raises is a much smaller factor in advancing global warming than the cattle on her ranch because they produce meat much more efficiently. Birds need only a fraction of the food that cattle do to gain a pound of meat.

Vegan vegetarians who eat only vegetables, fruit, and nuts do not completely remove all microorganisms from their food, even with repeated cleaning. If beef cattle who could not feel pain were developed, then it would be permissible to eat them. Clearly, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, and fish do not consent to being eaten.
