I'm excited. For my Writer'sCraft class, I am doing my Independent Study Project on opiniated essays so I am going to write about the gruesome life of the milk cow. How their babies are sent away to be veal cows or future milk cows. How they are stuffed full of hormones, how milk is actually not terribly good for you. (Can cause acne, gas, excess weight, and it can also help lead into diseases or other terrible problems) It's not that milk is bad ...well, I'm a believer that cow milk is for cows, imagine that. But, milk wouldn't be so bad if we took the time to not throw so much grabage into the cows who produce it. Deathcab4you. Your mom sounds really awesome! I wish more people were like that. For the time being, Zander and I have just cut milk out as much as possible. Funny, our bones haven't become brittle or weak, we haven't suffered any broken bones or cracking teeth. It's so silly how much people think milk keeps you alive. (Whatever did people do when we didn't have the technology to produce enough milk for the entire world?) And now for something interesting Milk is supposedly some magic wonder drink, thats SO good for you. One of the main reasons for this is because it contains what? Calcium. But, the fact is, you can't retain that calcium because your body needs another chemical, the micronutrient magnesium, in order to maintain that calcium. Most of it gets flushed right out of your system. But, seriously, you shouldn't need that much calcium anyways- the only reason people get things like osteoporosis (bone deteriation) is because over eating meat causes an acidic environment in the body, which must be countered by taking the stored calcium in your bones to balance the pH level. Instead, you should be eating vegetable protein. Something so simple as brocolli will substitute milk (or liquid protein) and meat (or protein). These are healthy choices if you think about it, this is where the cow gets the protein in the first place, it is a primary source of energy. Think about that for a change.

	Isn't it wonderful that instead of eating the cows and drinking their milk for energy we can just get it from the same place they do in a much more pure and direct way. I'd rather not have to go through the middleman/cow/pig/chicken to get my nutrients anyways Soy milk isn't all that bad anyways, and for cereal and such its a good choice. Peace.
