No, but a lot of animals greatly enjoy it if you give it to them! That's been pointed out in previous posts.

There is a lot of propaganda from the meat and dairy industry promoting the supposed health benefits of their products. There is a lot of money involved and they employ advertising agencies etc.

That is true, but don't forget the vegetable oil industry and food manufacturers that use tons of cheap carbs. The veg. oil industry along with its trade associations work behind the scenes to convince people through the controlled mainstream media that fat, especially saturated fat is bad for your health.

Big Agra along with its henchmen in government "health" agencies are against people having access to and consuming raw dairy.

Drinking milk is not necessary for strong and healthy bones.

It's not necessary, but it sure is an easy and tasty way to get calcium and other nutrients. The other way is to consume bone broths, which take time and effort to prepare.

Just because a practice has gone on for generations does not take away from the fact that it is unnatural and unnecessary to drink another animal's milk which is designed to support their own offspring when they are too young to take in solid food.

Did you know that you can feed abandoned baby mammals with milk from another species? Each animal's milk may be designed for its own species, but that doesn't mean it has no value to other ones.

Since the quality of our food has gone down due to poor soil quality, it makes more sense to add more foods to our diet than take things away. That is why an omnivorous diet is the best for these modern times. You get the greatest variety of foods and nutrients.
