I'm not sure where you (and some others) keep getting this information. There are around 4.5 billion people total, on the entire continent of Asia. Asia holds over 60% of the world's population, and includes India, Israel, Siberia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia. The majority of the population living in Asia include dairy as a dietary staple. Kefir, khir, yogurt - all common.
Perhaps you're just confusing your geographical locations up - and forget that Asia is a continent, and not a country. If you're referring specifically to China, there are less than 2 billion people living there, and some of them DO eat dairy. If you're referring to Japan, there are less than 200,000 people living there, and many of them DO eat dairy. If you're referring to the two combined, that's still less than 2 billion - which means - there aren't "billions of Asian people" hardly eating any dairy at all.
I was thinking something similar. Generalizing doesn't really mean much. Of course there are some from Asia, depending on the country that eat little dairy products, but to as you say, Asia is a huge continent and much of the population eat some or a lot of dairy products...
BrianJB- here is the link to Forks over Knives ... If it does not work just google forks over knives hulu I don't work for them, it was recommeded by a friend so I watched it and was really convinced that vegan is the way to go. I just recently watched it a few weeks ago and it changed the way I eat and think about food...Would love to go Vegan but I guess baby steps. Watch TV. Watch Movies. | Online | Free | Hulu
Just my personal choice. I don't like the idea of drinking milk from another species when its intended use was for calves. Its full of cow pus, hormones, pesticides and other disgusting **** and I just don't see why anyone would want to consume dairy products.
please do not post such ignorant accusations unless you can back it up !!!!!!!
all milk that leaves the farm is tested for antibiotics and bacteria and have very strict standards
kinda debunks your accusations about .." full of cow pus ' and "pesticides"--------etc
Milk had been found to contain antibiotics, growth hormones, painkillers and pesticides. That is why some prefer to drink organic milk.
Some don't drink milk at all.
Do some research..........
Organic milk contains growth hormones and pesticides too. Since cows produce bovine growth hormone because, y'know, they're cows... and cows eat vegetarian-based food, which comes from plants, which comes from the ground, which is treated with pesticides EVEN ON ORGANIC FARMS. Not sure about the antibiotics and painkillers - I've never seen any homogenized, pasteurized milk containing either of those substances.

Do some research.
Cows are given injections of hormones, and feed contains antibiotics to keep them from getting sick.
I have actually done my research, in person, on a farm. I was hired to give injections to babies and spent quite a bit of time in the barns. I saw the actual feed bags and read the warning labels.
Cows are given hormones to make them produce more milk than they would naturally.
Since I switched from dairy milk to Soy milk I feel so much better. It's rich in vitamin D and I don't have the allergy problems anymore that were associated with the dairy milk.
a sample is taken from every farm bulk tank every time milk leaves the farm.
ANY antibiotics or pesticides found in that milk results in the whole truckload being condemned and the farmer who contaminated that load in big trouble !

Yes, there is medication in some baby calf feed .
However, baby calves are NOT milked until about 2 years old !
Were you hired to put the milking units on baby calves ?
