Dairy cows treated with kindness produce more milk. Sound like new age silliness? Not according to the UK's Newcastle University School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development who recently published their findings in the journal Anthrozoos. Farmers who name their dairy cows, treat them as individuals and care for them like pets showed an increase of 500 pints per year or 3.4%. The study looked at 516 farms half of which named the cows and paid care and attention to their personalities. These farmers say that cows do have separate personalities with a range of emotions and should be cared for accordingly--especially for all the milk they give. One farmer said she calls her cows “the ladies.”

Of course well treated, happy cows produce more milk...and a host of other benefits. They're living things. Concentration camp labor isn't exactly known for high quality workmanship either.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
