What is this "anti-dairy" movement, anyways? This is a real thing?

This is the issue that these people care that much about, in 2020?

I prefer real milk from almonds, cashews, and oats to so-called "dairy milk," but there are better ways of making the point.

People don’t need to drink milk from a cow.

Cows make milk for their babies. The dairy industry separates cows from their babies to sell the milk.
