Some foodies have a problem with the dairy industry, but at least they don't lie about aborted dairy calves.
I do question this statement: "The average milking cow is about four when she’s considered “spent” in industry terms." Amazingly enough a quick Google doesn't reveal an authoritative answer. Nor do I trust wikipedia on this. I think this piece accurately reflects the dairyperson's thoughts, particularly the smaller one who is growing her own replacements. In other words, the answer to the question "when does the dairy cow go to slaughter" is: "it all depends".
