Activist: "Drinking milk is for baby cows, not humans."
Farmer: "Humans have been drinking it for 10,000 years."
Activist: "We're the only species that drinks another species' milk."
Farmer: "We're also the only species that cooks food, wears clothes, and writes books. Should we pack those in too?"
Activist: "It's unnatural."
Farmer: "So are antibiotics. Refusing those next time you get pneumonia?"
Activist: "That's different."
Farmer: "How? Both are things humans do that other animals don't."
Activist: "Milk is meant for calves."
Farmer: "Wheat is meant to reproduce the wheat plant. And yet here you are eating bread."
Activist: "Most humans are lactose intolerant."
Farmer: "Most humans of European descent aren't. We evolved the trait. That's how evolution works."
Activist: "It's still weird."
Farmer: "Weirder than flying across continents in a metal tube? Weirder than arguing with a stranger on a phone you didn't build, charged by electricity you can't generate, about food produced by a farmer you've never met?"
