Acharya Prashant addresses the common justifications people use to continue consuming dairy, emphasizing that the dairy industry is fundamentally linked to the meat industry. He asserts that the milk people consume is effectively the color of blood because it is rooted in violence and cruelty. He explains that once a cow or buffalo stops producing milk, it is typically sent for slaughter, and male calves, being useless to the dairy industry, are disposed of. He argues that anyone with basic intelligence can understand this cycle of exploitation, and those who refuse to see it are often slaves to their taste buds and a demonic mindset. He critiques the logic of following bodily instincts or physical capabilities, such as having teeth that can chew meat. He points out that human actions should be guided by consciousness rather than mere physical ability or animalistic urges. He dismisses the excuse that one must consume dairy for physical strength, stating that a body built on the murder of others is not worth having. Furthermore, he highlights the hypocrisy of those who invoke Shri Krishna to justify drinking milk but show no interest in following the teachings of the Gita. He concludes by urging people to recognize the immense suffering and torture involved in dairy production and to view milk as the blood of an innocent being.
