    As a vegan, I think this is the way it should be.

    Imagine seeing a grown ass man sucking on a titty in public. Weird as fuck, yet, somehow conceivably less fucked up if it was a cow.

    Society is a strange mistress.

      But presumably, the man in your hypothetical scenario is drinking milk out of a glass or a receptacle of some sort.

      If you default to visualizing breastfeeding or sucking on a cow udder when you see anyone drinking milk, that says more about you than it does the milk drinker.

        First off, I choose to visualise breastfeeding as I see fit, I even partake in it sometimes. What happens between me and my dog is none of your business.

        Second, I’m being hyperbolic for the sake of illustrating the absurdity of it. If someone was milking a cow and drinking it straight from the glass, that’s still just as weird, albeit slightly more comfortable for the consumer.

        Adding transports between the cow and the drinker doesn’t change the weirdness either.

        Drinking the lactation of a cow is weird, just as weird as drinking platypus milk.

          You need to get out of your bubble if you’re weirded out by something done daily by millions of humans since the dawn of agriculture.

          Then by that same token, what happens between milk drinkers and their cows is none of your business.

          Second, I’m being hyperbolic for the sake of illustrating the absurdity of it.

          That’s what I’m saying. The way you express your view on milk drinking’s absurdity is more absurd than drinking milk.

          Drinking the lactation of a cow is weird, just as weird as drinking platypus milk.

          Clearly you haven’t tried platypus milk; I take it from a glass.

          You’re free to express your opinions, of course. What I’m expressing is that your opinion is weird. To put it another way, judge all you want; don’t get too butthurt when people judge you back.

          Or, you know, mind your business.

      But why is it less weird to suck on rotten plant ovaries? That’s what alcohol is. Food is fucking weird.
