As far as posting info on cats and milk. I think everyone and their mother knows that they aren't supposed to get it! I am not 12, it's just something most people know. I am a vet tech, I know this stuff. That is why their are special milk replacers on the market for kittens, like KMR and Esbilac. I have raised several orphaned kittens in my day. My cats have enough dietary issues already for me to be giving them milk.
The point is, yes it's not healthy for them to drink it all the time or even at all, but the fact is they still drink it! I never said it was natural, I just said they do it, and if in the wild they had the chance to come across it, they WOULD drink it! Racoons can be seen drinking milk from diary cows all the time. Yes the dairy cows were not always there, but racoons are opportunistic animals, and if there is a dairy farm nearby you better believe if they come across a cow they will milk it! I don't even give my cats milk....well sometimes I let them lick the leftover milk from my cereal bowl, but that's it. Almost everything you are typing I already know and I am sure a lot of other people do to. Ask how many people here on this board give their cat milk? I am sure almost all of them know it is bad for cats to drink it.
As far as diseases and cancer goes, if you have a well balanced diet and don't eat meat all the time you will stay healthy, unless you have bad genes. I don't eat meat much, most of what I eat is vegetables and pastas, but I do eat meat about twice a week, mostly fish and chicken. In limited amounts you can be healthy eating meat. I thin kit is funny how you always point out how bad a meat based diet is but always fail to show the side of vegetarianism that is bad. Some people cannot absorb all the nutrients from pills, some are allergic to peanuts etc. Anyway you eat, there can ALWAYS be complications. What about vegetables that have insectiside sprayed on them that people cosume? You think it is healthy for the air to be spraying chemicles to protect the precious plants all the time? Do you eat organic veggies and fruits? If not how do you know your body isn't binding up deadly chemicles in your kidneys or liver? The point is, any diet can be healthy if you watch what you eat and live right. And that's all there is to it, it's called a BALANCED diet!
