Got milk

[youngveg]

I've been a vegetarian for about two years now, and some of my friends are wanting to try it and asked what they should avoid besides the typical you know meat, i told them all the usual gummy candy, carmel, Jelly, some sports drink, and basically just check labels, but here is where i am having a problem

(it gets a little gross here so sorry )

milk, Ive never been able to drink it, because i am allergic, but i recently found out that if you milk a cow to much it gets blisters and that a certain amount of blood and pus is allowed to go into the milk, something like 8%, i heard it from teacher and i just want to make sure that i am telling them right, if this is true is milk still vegetarian? i am thinking no...right?

Milk is still considered vegetarian even though, as you say, it contains pus and sometimes blood, but it's certainly not animal friendly...the milk industry is linked to the meat industry....it supplies cheap meat (spent cows) and veal (male calves) to the meat industry. Not to mention the process of obtaining milk is unethical.

For milk alternatives, as you may know being lactose intolerant, there's soya, nut, almond, rice, etc milks.
