Acharya Prashant explains that the issue of milk consumption is not complex but straightforward. He asserts that those who refuse to understand are not lacking in logic but are being dishonest, using arguments to conceal their true motives. The fundamental point, he states, is that the animal whose milk is consumed is the same one that is eventually slaughtered, making the dairy industry the foundation of the meat industry. Therefore, he metaphorically describes the color of milk as red, like blood. Anyone willing to understand will grasp this from this single point, while those who are slaves to their taste, violence, and cruelty will not be convinced by any number of arguments. He suggests that even a child can understand the simple question: what does a farmer do with a cow or buffalo once it stops giving milk? The answer leads to the immediate realization that one should stop consuming dairy. He further argues that one can deduce the continuous cruelty inflicted on animals to maximize milk production for profit. He refutes the idea that one should eat meat simply because the human body can digest it, using analogies to illustrate that consciousness, not the body, should guide human actions. A human is not an animal who lives solely by the body's capabilities; consciousness dictates what is right and wrong. Acharya Prashant also addresses the argument that Shri Krishna consumed milk and ghee. He points out the hypocrisy of those who selectively invoke Shri Krishna to justify their habits but show no interest in his teachings, like the Gita. He challenges them by asking if they would also stop drinking tea, which Krishna never did. This, he says, reveals that their actions are driven not by devotion but by a slavery to the lust for taste, for which they are willing to inflict any atrocity on living beings. He urges people to see milk as blood and then decide if they can still consume it, pointing to the conspicuous absence of male buffaloes as evidence of their slaughter, a direct consequence of the dairy industry.
