Acharya Prashant addresses the ethical and practical dilemmas of the dairy industry, particularly the systematic killing of male calves. He argues that the choice between killing a calf immediately or raising it for slaughter later is a false dilemma created for human convenience. He asserts that the root of the violence lies in the forced artificial insemination of animals, which he compares to sexual assault. He challenges the necessity of dairy consumption, pointing out that humans are the only species that continues to drink milk into adulthood and consumes the milk of other species. He emphasizes that modern dairy production is inseparable from the meat industry, as the two subsidize each other, and that India's high meat export is a direct consequence of its high milk consumption. Acharya Prashant urges a shift toward plant-based alternatives like soy, almond, and coconut milk, which are healthier, cheaper, and cruelty-free. He dismisses the excuse of tradition, noting that the scale and nature of modern industrial dairy are far more violent than historical practices. He also refutes the idea that consuming animal products is a necessity for survival in certain cultures, labeling such claims as justifications for sensory pleasure. He concludes by stating that true spiritual progress and the study of scriptures like the Upanishads are incompatible with a lifestyle rooted in violence and the consumption of products derived from animal suffering.
