    Well your colleague in the post above yours agrees in the opening sentence of his penultimate paragraph.
    Feel free to correct him.

    Oh... You think I agree with you about "worn out animals" after 2 calvings a total of 20 months of lactating. Fecking hell most human mother's manage that without being worn out.

    Maybe it is the phrase worn-out that is contentious. Perhaps spent or exhausted is more acceptable.

    For one, I doubt many farms cull at 5 years old. You throw out plenty of facts and figures but it's obvious you know little about farming. I certainly don't agree with you that a 5 year old cow is worn out or spent or exhausted.


    You can't have it both ways either your accusing farmers of killing them too young or keeping them till they are spent, pick one and it might give you a better argument.

    Neolithic peoples had a wider variety of wholefoods available to them than we do today. Our loss.

    ...

    Doubtful.

    What do you think they ate? They certainly did not eat higly processed ****e foods or McFake Burgers for sure.

    There is lots of archaeological evidence that the diet comprised a whole range of seasonal whole foods. See the article linked previously for an overview.

    Deflection again.

    Tbh, I had to read your post a few times to try to make some sense of it and, having failed, decided that a source might help me to understand somewhat better. It looked like 2 or 3 catch-cries welded together hastily in an attempt to make a coherent whole but falling well short.

    But if you have no source, you have no source so we'll leave it at that.
