    the dairy industry is horrifically cruel and destructive, which is why they can not advertise their products with openness or transparency of the process.

      You mean they don’t want us to know that cows need to get a calf every year to produce milk, but that the calves don’t get that milk but are raised for slaughter? Or that cows only live to 1/3rd of their natural life span, because they are brutally coerced to the slaughter house when their production goes down? Where they’re not always fully sedated when being killed? Chewing like crazy to get all the food into the milk (and manure), using up a large area in agriculture as well as tropical rain forest? Continuously producing greenhouse gasses for fertilizer for animal feed, or just by belching? Being kept under light at night to further increase production? Usually staying indoors? Yeah, I wonder why they don’t bring that up during commercials.

        I’m just picturing a cheese ad with happy people frolicking with robotic smiles with this information in a fast voice over like an American drug commercial
