What Our Readers say about - My Visit to A Dairy Farm Article Subject: Thank you for opening my eyes Date: Fri, 5 Sep 1997 12:40:23 -1000 From: "h20Man" <gurrez@aloha.net> Your message brought tears to my eyes. Literally. At one time I too felt that there was no way I would give up the burfies, lassies, halwas, and ghee reeking rice dishes etc. After all what was Indian food without the heavenly aroma of satvic ghee? And did not our saints use them? At the same time I knew I was but a liar, and worst, to my own self. Only on making a commitment to a vegan diet and life-style could I find peace. Knowing that cows and other animals suffer as they do on the animal farms, it is not possible to use them or their excretions as guilt free nurture. And now I learn that even in India we are subjecting the cows to the tortures of dairy technology! You cannot know what inspiration you have given me to hear another Indian take the vegan view on butter, milk, etc. I am saving your post to show others and to use in times I may find myself making excuses.

Even after having read numerous articles on the subject its left me extremely disturbed. I've been almost vegan for over 2 years now, since I first heard this horror story. My husband is gradually converting and our son is born with dairy allergy.

In these two days whenever I take a sip of Tea I am just getting all that matter what you've written. It is really paining to digest the facts.... Sailu. Date: Tue, 23 Sep 1997 00:32:55 -0400 (EDT) From: APati@aol.com Many thanks for sharing your tour of the dairy. My stomach curdled with dismay. I am an imperfect vegan. I heard Howard Lyman's speech and a woman animal life right activist came to me in a dream. My father, from Orissa had a heart attack from a meat-centered diet. He is a semi-veg now, and has returned to the plant-based diet of his ancestral past. Your account was moving and I thank you. I will be sharing it, a lot!
