We talk a lot about how bad milk is for you and how cruel the dairy, beef, and veal industries are, but there’s not enough talk about how beautiful and majestic cow’s 🐮 really are.💜

Before we begin ➡ A cow is a mature female and a bull an adult male of a bovine family. Cattle is the name for the whole “cow” family.

1⃣  There are about 920 different breeds of cows in the world.

2⃣  Cows can live 25 years.

3⃣  Cows have almost total 360 degree panoramic vision and are able to see colors, except red. They can detect odors up to 5 miles away.

4⃣  Cows can hear lower and higher frequencies better than humans.

5⃣  A cow weighs about 1400 pounds. A 1000 pound cow produces an average of 10 tons of manure a year.

6⃣  The bond between a cow and her calf is very strong and continues after the calf is fully grown. In non-commercial herds, some cows will nurse their calves for up to 3 years.

7⃣  Cows are very social animals. They form large herds and will bond to some herd members while avoiding others. They “moo” and use different body positions and facial expressions to communicate with each other.

8⃣  A Holstein’s spots are like a fingerprint. No two cows have exactly the same pattern of spots.

9⃣  Cows have cloven hooves. In galloping through boggy places or in deep mud, cattle can run faster than a horse.

It’s an udder shame that we still use, abuse, and kill them.

Cut the cattle from your diet! #vegansofig

I went to my favourite health store ever today and one of the men working there was doing a demonstration on making smoothies/dessert type things with a blender. The store is quite small (still amazingly stocked!) so when I got there I talked to him for  bit. I told him I normally had oats in the morning and he said that he used to but now it’s started making something different so he showed me how to make it right then and there!

It is a sort of cold dessert/breakfast recipe, which almost had the consistency of oatmeal, so the recipe is:

• Soaked chia seeds (he recommended 9 parts water to 1 part chia seeds, soaking them overnight)
• Water
• warrior blend raw protein powder
• coconut butter
• Lucuma powder
• Strawberries

Blend it all up until it is thick and Voila! I’m going to be making this in the morning for my breakfast, hopefully I’ll post a picture

Hope everybody is feeling well
