The thing about the cows. I live rurally near a dairy farm..well..the dairy farm is at least a mile or more away. The cows scream for hours when their calves are removed. I can hear it from my house and it is horrifying. I agree with you about Gap clothing. I used to shop their clearance to get high quality items but they are terrible quality now. I have several tiered t shirt dresses from them that I wash in lingerie bags and line dry and after one season they all started to come undone at the seams. I have recently been buying from Duluth Trading Company and find their stuff is be very good…but you have to not mind wearing Gardencore Aesthetic.
definitely agree. I liked Victoria's Secret cotton bikini and briefs for a long time and my last order was totally different, terrible quality like something you would get in a multi-pack at Walmart for $6. Never again. I do like Third Love and Aerie though.
I agree with you about Dlulth Trading. I have two "work shirts" from them I've had for 20 years with inumerable washes and they are still looking good. We've bought clothing just recently, and even with customs charges to Canada, their clothing is worth it, esp. when on clearance.
I had the same experience! I just got an order of VS replacement cotton hipsters and they were a different cut and sizing than my last order. They have also been making them with less cotton. My last 2 orders have been like that...not that I ored often. Maybe once every 4 or so years.@@seltzermint5
I am in love with their artisan hemp camp shirts and their gardening short overalls right now! @@nedwillis6702
Well now I don’t know what to think about the cows if they’re really suffering or not when they take the babies away from them. I’ve gotten three differing opinions or observations
I have a nephew that not only vapes but works in a vape shop. He refuses to get a covid vaccine because he "doesn't know what's in it".

Diamonds are a scam.

Tipping is a scam
I hate it but of course I tip. What angers me is reading service personnel online calling people horrible and cheap for tipping 30%. No, I don't need to tip $10 on my $12 lunch that you merely handed to me. $3-4 is fine.
Exactly why I boycott tipping but still use their services. My money, my choice.
@@seltzermint5 I've ended up strongly avoiding places that require tipping, and it's surprising how many places now have mandatory tipping. It's not necessarily a problem with the pricing but rather the advertised price isn't the same as the observed price.
@@langhamp8912 its never mandatory the companies of course want you to think that. If you payed the sell price of the product that's all you need to legally pay. Totally guilt-tripping their customers for a little extra out of their wallets.
It's lowkey slavery if you think of about it, and has a simular affect on the economy as the pre civil war US
When I was in elementary school the rule was that you HAD to drink your milk or you could not go out to play after lunch. The taste of milk made me sick so every day I was not allowed to go out and play with the other children. I stayed inside and read books. Who won here? I did!😊
Same thing happened to me, luckily we had assigned seats in the lunchroom and I always gave my milk to the boy that sat next to me. He loved milk and gulped his right away then would switch cartons with me when no one was watching.
I was in first grade and got slapped for not finishing my milk. Talk about loosing faith in education.
Here in New Zealand, in the 1960's I was in the last year that we had "school milk" provided free to prevent the permanent crippling malformation of RICKETS. Which had been a problem since the deprivations of the 1930's Depression and World War 2 food shortages. Our milk was in glass bottles, non-refrigerated it was delivered by a milkman in the early morning into a wooden box (would have been nicer to drink if it was kept refrigerated icy cold). The milk bottles were small, not sure if it was (about 200 ml), third of a pint or (about 300 ml) half a pint. However as a 5-year-old, the bottle seemed huge. Note a standard bottle of milk in those days was one pint (about 600 ml) and half pint bottles were used for Cream. The smaller bottles of ordinary milk, were not sold retail, used just for school milk. NZ changed to fully metricated units in weights and measures in the early 1970's. 'Merica's still working towards that LOL.
No, Ole Bessie won.
miilk is disgusting to me and induces gag... yuck... i was forced to drink it as a child but i would always barf it back
Even sewing your own clothes so that you can have better quality garments to wear has become more challenging because finding quality fabric at an affordable price is becoming more difficult. Much of the fabric being produced today is poor quality.
I upcycle my good quality fabrics from thrift stores- treat/clean the fabric well, and you can have 100% cotton, linen, silk etc fabrics. Or small town stores have re-use stores which have fabrics at a fraction of a cost. All fabrics I acquire I ''launder to my liking'' before I do any projects with them.
Fabric has been expensive for a long time. I used to have time to make my own clothes, and was a good tailor, but it wasn't really a way save money
@@suzannaflores1164 That is exactly what I was going to write. I buy fabric at thrift stores and usually its good quality. I also buy clothes like jackets and upcycle them by changing out their sleeves and collars. I do this because I like to have something totally different.
I remember the beautiful, high quality fabrics available when I was a kid in the 60s/70s. The hand, the drape, the variety of weaves, the quality of fiber, the patterns and colors, , , once common even in small towns - almost nowhere to be found now. Ready made clothes also were made to last. The problem with cotton then and now is that it is the most pesticide polluted crop there is. Silk uses a lot of water. Semisynthetics (cellulose based) like bamboo and rayon, require a lot of water and chemicals to produce. Synthetics are of course a main source of nano/microplastic pollution. We are left with organic cotton, linen, wool, and the like. I won't even start on the dyes, ,
Home fabrics too. When I cleaned out my mom's house, I found a bedsheet in an unopened package, c. 1970, brand new. It's not even a size I need but I took it anyway. It's so thick and stiff, unlike anything I've bought in years. I also kept her used pillowcases from that set--faded and soft now, but still perfectly intact!
I used to live next to a small dairy farm, I've heard the cows crying for their babies all night. When out hiking through one of the back fields one day I came across a pile of dead calves, a big pile in different stages of decomposition, the stuff of nightmares.
This breaks my heart.
Most likely stillborn or aborted calves. Farmers don't just throw away stock.
My daughter was vaping when she broke out in massive hives. That's when she learned she is allergic to propylene glycol. Awesome!! She quit smoking and vaping.
My husband and I live in Toronto and bought our house in 96, we would NOT be able to buy a house today, the price of a house or a condo is insane! It's a rigged system and our politicians are a part of this housing scam.........Well said Nicole.
You are correct, life is a scam. We live inside the minds of marketers.
You got that right! I look at these Infomercials (the best friend of the insomniac), and look at the gadgets that you feel you can use but after the taxes especially ifit's from america, you spend almost 200.00 Canadian dollars on a Mop.
This boomer was constantly being told that we needed to sell our house after our kids moved out back around 2000. It was assumed that when we got to retirement all these boomer houses were going to go on the market at the same time & as a result we would be selling for low prices. Never believe what they are trying to sell you, do what's good for you.
Thank you for your research. Dairy topic hit hard. I bought a newborn bull calf, due to farmer taking his gun outside to shoot the "useless" bull calf😢. Ps. Our pet calf lived a long healthy life on my homestead.😊
My dad grew up on a farm in the 1950s and they had the sweetest bull! My dad recounts fondly stories of getting on the bull’s bareback and riding him around the farm to do his chores!
Thank you for saving him! 😭🥰
Some farmers are not that ruthless but unfortunately many are just like any animal breeder (e.g dog breeders).
From another natural born skeptic, I've really enjoyed the series and learned alot. Thank you. I do feel scammed on a daily basis from many directions. It's exhausting and depressing.
knowing that they are scams are more than half the battle.
I quit 33 years ago. Smoking killed my Wife in 2012 I couldn't get her to stop smoking. She had cancer of the lounges. I miss her
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear wife. It hurts so much to lose someone you loved so dearly.
My uncle who was a chain smoker killed his wife with his habit, she didn't smoked a cigarette in her life but died of lung cancer, he died of emphysema a few years after she passed away.
I am so sorry. Smoking killed my Dad at the age of 54. He wouldn’t stop either, even when he was on oxygen full time. You would think that would deter my smother but she is still a smoker.
My Dad died from Emphysema and I wouldn't wish that one anyone. It was a very slow, and very miserable death that took YEARS and YEARS and was very hard on my Mother, who was his caregiver.@@robertkennedy8503
When I was a teenager making $1 an hour I told my mom & sister I’d give them $300 each if they stopped smoking. Neither took me up on it. I lost my mom to lung cancer. It would’ve taken me months to earn $600 to pay them to stop but I never got the chance.
Thanks for the shoutout! Fun fact: the Toronto house I featured recently that was so full of mold and asbestos that prospective buyers werent allowed to see the inside actually sold over asking, apparently there was a minor bidding war after my video came out 🙄
I'm also currently planning a video on the Financialization of Housing (and everything else) that taps in to a lot of the same kinds of issues that you talk about regarding money and debt.
The whole fashion industry is a huge scam. Some self-proclaimed 'guru' decided that last year, yellow dots were stylish. This year, style is a matter of blue stripes. And who is selling overpriced crap with blue stripes? THE SAME GURUS!!!! If they were honest, they would say that the stuff from last year is still good this year but that wouldn't make them any money. And all the dedicated followers of fashion go into sheep mode and now also 'think' that blue stripes are the things to be seen in - purse open, money out. Kinda pathetic really ...
"Blue is the new Red" - From WALL-E.
Just found your channel. You are a breath of fresh air, no low cut shirt, no overdone make-up and you are speaking truth. Keep up the good work!
Alright, now that I'm done the video - I'll be honest, I was one of the MANY who bought the lie about cows. I didn't know the cow had to be pregnant, and in fact, despite my age of 46, I didn't learn this until a few weeks ago - and it disgusted me. I am going to finish the milk and cheese I already have, and then swap to oat milk. I've drastically reduced the amount of meat I eat, and hope to eliminate it completely, soon.
I'd love a part 10 of this series.
My mum has a goat, she milk .. she doesn’t have to be pregnant . She’s well fed mum mum even washes her veggies and cut them for her.. she’s very loved.
sadly it's the one thing I'm allergic to - goat's milk.@@MA-tl1ek
Oh, so you think oats aren't being exploited? You think oats don't feel pain? You think oats aren't suffering, being grown in cruel and inhumane conditions, and that by consuming oat milk instead of cow milk you've somehow been absolved of your transgressions? 😅
So happy for you, and the cows.. 😊
You should take that schtick on Colbert or Kimmel. Who knows? Maybe your take on a joke that's only been told hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of times beforehand might prove to be the funny one.@@dingusdingus2152
Great breakdown of the dairy industry. The bizarre and irrational things you point out about human consumption of cow milk is spot on. It's so ingrained in our society that we dont even step back to realize how weird it is
Id love to see you touch on the "scam" that is electric vehicles. Or touch on the scams in our society created by one man, Edward Bernays.
Well, the so=called green energy is a big scam just like climate change which I used to believe.
You opened my my eyes about milk. I agree with you. I worked on a dairy farm when I was young. Your description of the industry is spot-on. I always thought it was weird that humans drank cow milk. One om my tasks was carrying a new born calf away from its mother - that was a gross job and dangerous. There are so many scams out there. Keep going Nicole! 👍
You can source milk from farms that don’t separate the calves from the mothers. Big ag Dairy farms started doing that to make more money… my dad grew up on a farm and they never separated the babies from the moms. The babies ate their fill and then they milked the excess (which there is plenty). We’ve really gotten away from nature and our connection to co-evolving with livestock. It’s sad… but it’s perfectly good to eat dairy as long as it’s raised healthy and natural. Just most products in stores aren’t :/
Not all milk is made for drinking though
@@schuylergeery-zink1923 Ty & how would I source this in Australia pls?
@@schuylergeery-zink1923 Ethical farmers are few and far between now compared to in the past because then, some farm animals became like "pets" and many farmers were still compassionate. But now, corporate farms have taken over just like in many industries. Hospitals and veterinary services are being taken over by corporations so there is no more heart in those industries.

cough cough taylor swift with her private jets
I don't understand why so many people are obsessed with this mediocre pop star.
@@chrisjohnston7403I agree. I am the type of person who likes some pop music and even goes to see Dua Lipa in concert, so I'm certainly not "above" liking someone like Taylor Swift. I just think her music is boring and awful! I don't know what people find so appealing.
I don't know why everyone jumps on Taylor Swift about her jet, while at the same time ignoring what goes on leading up to the climate summits. The world leaders send jets ahead of time to deliver their limos, then fly another jet to get there- NEVER RIDE SHARING in either jets or limos. Then, they fly home on their jets, while another jet brings their limos back. All this to attend summits where they talk about climate change and pollution. Suddenly, Taylor's jet doesn't seem nearly as bad.

5:21 This isn't just talking sshhiitt, you're talking facts and truth. Companies lie, whether covertly or overtly, for profits and nothing more, so we need courageous people like you to do this.
And if we were grateful for: breathing, eating, walking, speaking, being healthy today? This has a great impact on people around you.
I’m so very sad about the cows. I never realize how terribly they are treated. I’m glad you’re bringing this to peoples attention.

She is mostly referring to the commercial business of it. Regen farming the cows our treated very well and happy and also have little to no environmental impact. Far more animals are killed to produce plant based things.

Thank-you for reminding me about the dairy industry, I have basically cut it out of my diet, just yesterday I almost bought sour cream, didn't, but it's so ingrained in our society it's easy to be complacent and lazy minded and unethical.
It' s the same with most animals that we breed, we ' ve deformed, manipulated and exploited them in our egocentric interests !
You're a hoot young lady and wise beyond your years - Keep it up Nicole!
I am not sure if this one has been discussed in previous videos, but when I was a young (I am 45 now) free tv had commercials and pay TV did not. But now, we are expected to pay for reduced subscriptions for Disney and Netflix with ads on them... we are PAYING to watch commercials and ads 🤯
I used to buy all my daughter's clothes from Baby Gap/Kids Gap, and so did another friend of mine with a child the same age. It wasn't that we were rich, but at that time The Gap was constantly bringing in new things every 2 weeks. So if we saw something we liked we waited maybe 3 weeks and it would be 80% off. So our kids were styling The Gap at Walmart prices. The clothes washed up beautifully. But I know the quality isn't there now nor the sales
Thanks for your insight Nicole. The piece on the cow's crushed me. I'll be stopping bovine milk immediately. I'll investigate the many alternative sources ie Almond milk. If I can save one cow from today on - its worth it.
I didn’t know about the real estate insanity over there. It is strange that we drink so much milk from another species/cows. Money brings out the worst in man kind… it’s the heart and soul of corruption. It has ruined free will for everyone. Yet here we are. Nothing ever changes for the better. Changes always bring more pain and suffering.
Second hand clothes are a good option for giving up fast fashion - they’re inexpensive and you know the garment is sturdy enough to survive one cycle of ownership. Plus any shrinkage or dye bleeding will have already occurred, so you know what you’re getting.
While I don't think it's generally doable for *everything* I agree with this a lot. One example: I have only purchased athletic leggings from Old Navy stores/website in the past 5-6 years because it's the only item of theirs I trust to have consistent quality and wash well.
But I do buy Old Navy tops and dresses a lot at secondhand shops because they are "vetted" through someone else wearing and washing before me, and they are the items that actually hold up. When I just go to their store or website and choose a cute top, it will probably be stretched and faded garbage on the 2nd wearing.
Yup, also can find out about good brands I like even if the item doesn't fit (found out about armed angels, a sustainable brand this way). Also, have you ever found an older version of one of the fast fashion brands? I've found mango and next items, presumably from 90ies, total fast fashion now but they used to be so well made! Nice fabric, nice seams, you can't find that in malls nowdays.
Too bad thrift stores are among the most evil companies! Setting foot inside any of them makes me feel disgusted! Also, it's really hard to find clothes in my size in thrift stores. Why not just buy cheap new clothes like a normal person?
I totally agree. I buy only used items on eBay, except for socks and underwear.
Secondhand denim is my go too because I know that it most likely will not shrink on me when I wash it!
Wow, I had NO IDEA about the real estate in Canada (I'm in the U.S.). That's insane! A few years ago I was saying that we should move to Canada because it's so much better. I guess it isn't. 😢
And YES! Please do a video on the comparisons between Canada and the U.S.!!!!!
Okay, now I am very sad about the cows. I never heard it described this way and now I want to cry. Oh... and speaking of lactose intolerance, there are also pills to take so that you CAN consume dairy and not be lactose intolerant or milk with the lactose taken out... another way to make money right?! Wow! Life IS a scam!
The house prices in California are just as insane. Anywhere near the San Fransisco bay area has very high prices. You have to drive about 2 hours to get to houses at a price mere mortals can afford.
@kensmith5694 I thought NJ was bad until I saw the prices in the bay area!
Yes, Part 10. Yes. If you keep enjoying doing these videos, I for one, will continue to watch them.
Omg 😳 you just gave me a whole new outlook on dairy. Thank you for this knowledge.
Dairy is disgusting and completely unnecessary. Thank you for talking about this

I agree that the dairy industry is terrible. However, the idea that we were not meant to consume dairy just because we are the only species that does it, doesn't make a lot of sense. Many animals have ecological niches where they have adapted to consume a certain food that no other species consumes. As humans, we have a unique ability to domesticate other animals, which is why we are able to use the milk of other animals. And I bet if other animals had that ability, they would also be drinking the milk of other animals. Whether milk is healthy is another question, and since nutritional science is rarely straightforward, you can often find studies that show a food increases the risk of certain diseases, and other studies that show that that same food protects against other diseases. I recently heard of a study that shows eating yogurt regularly can help with depression. But yogurt and cheese also have health benefits that milk itself doesn't have, because of their microorganisms. It also depends on the person, like some people are lactose intolerant, but not everyone is. For any food, you can usually find some people who are allergic or intolerant.
Humans have been drinking milk for millions of years. There wasn't intensive farming in the past so maybe it was less cruel.
Very well said. Despite i agree how awful the dairy industry is.
Okay, nutrition and medical science aside, if you can live a healthy, happy life without causing harm to another animal then why wouldn't you? Seems selfish to choose taste or preference over another living creatures autonomy.
Luckily, I don't crave dairy all that much. But I'm not gonna be able to wean myself off of steak anytime soon. 😂
I'm so glad you made this video... without trying you educated so many ppl that didn't know about the horrible dairy industry, and how they treat cows and the calves...so maybe some will reconsider if keep consuming dairy... breast milk was made for babies, cow milk was made for calf, etc... at the end it's all about making money....
Now for most producers yes but originally it was about human nutrition and survival. There are still some good producers out there but it is a challenge to source and pay for good treatment for animals.
i remember none of this money making shit going on back in the village. with well fed cows there was more than enough milk for the calfs, people and cats.
Me and my husband are non-smokers, but went to a party last summer with about 1/3 of the attendees vaping on and off throughout the evening. It honestly wasn't too noticeable, nothing like smoking, so we didn't mind it much. If everyone had been smoking, we wouldn't have stayed long at the party.
The next morning we went out on a long walk as we often do. BOTH of us were coughing up phlegm that was kinda flavored (yuck!) and we kept coughing for 2 hours. It was disgusting and eye-opening!
Yuck !
New appliance’s don’t last like they did 10 years ago another scam
After watching most of this playlist in one go, I'm starting to think that LIFE is a scam!
Hi Nicole, I love your videos! Thank you. As for scams, how about the beauty/anti-aging industry?? Lotions, potions, services, and surgeries, to name a few things. Even the term “anti-aging” makes no sense. We all get a day older, every day.
Your best one yet. Especially, THANK YOU for the segment about dairy. Indeed, people are NOT very smart, at all.
Absolutely do another part!
🫡
I can think of celebrities who say they are environmentalists but they live in huge mansions, fly in private jets and own several cars etc. How can they expect their followers to live simply when they are living extravagantly? If they really care, they need to lead by example.
The politicians are even worse- they're MAKING the laws while taking TWO jets each to the climate summits: one for them and one for their limos. And NONE of them ride share.
This video was NOT a bummer. It was very refreshing hearings about more scams. Your videos are so interesting and revealing.
Hi Nicole, I appreciate your honest opinion in your videos. I’m in the US and I agree with you that real estate is out of control. I didn’t realize you could not lock in your interest rate on your mortgage in Canada, that is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Thankfully my house is paid for, however, the taxes and insurance keep soaring, I feel for a young person trying to purchase a home today.
For most, not locking in is beneficial as interest rates can go down when you renegotiate. We do have 25 year locked in rates and variable interest rate mortgages. You can get a 30 year mortgage if you put down 20%.
I like to wear second hand clothing as much as possible. Most of my clothing is free that way. Weather I buy it new or its second hand, I make things last. I don't use fabric softener for many reasons but one is because it breaks cloth down faster. I don't think most people have any clue how much environmental damage and human disease and death is caused by fast fashion.
not to mention their Shein and Temu styles look like the trash they are.
As an animal husbandry engineer let me clarify few little things about the milk and cow thing. It was hurting to listen "baby cow", "female cows" and all the rest :D So here's a link of the names by age and gender:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle#:~:text=Mature%20female%20cattle%20are%20called,all%20colloquially%20called%20"cows".
Short: cow is NOT the name of the species. The name of the animal is cattle. The female with baby is called COW. The male is bull.
I really feel for young people. Everything is getting out of reach. House prices, running a vehicle, entertainment, travel etc etc. And please do not listen to those freaks telling you to get jabs!
Thank you for educating us about the dairy industry. That is heartbreaking and cruel on so many levels. I'm going to try to reduce my dairy intake and quit altogether. Another scam I don't remember if you've mentioned is the beauty ideal that women should have shaved armpits and legs. That was created by a razor industry marketing campaign as a cash grab and now it's totally become normalized as if shaving your legs and armpits is a "rite of passage" to being a woman.
I know it kind of falls into the Pink Tax (which Nicole has covered previously) but I always buy basic mens razors.
Same thing goes for the makeup industry. Personally, I prefer natural beauty over makeup. A lot of women out there are starting to look like toned-down circus clowns.
The same beauty standard that has most young women with a great number of tattoos? You mean THAT beauty standard? Pff...women are free to do as much or as little self-grooming and body mutilation as they want, and no one is going to actually tell them to their face that looks great or terrible.
I use vintage Gillette double edge razors that I purchased used and double edge razor blades that do not come in plastic containers. 100 blades cost around $10. The shaves are closer, more comfortable and environmentally friendly.
@@langhamp8912 Holy false equivalency, Batman! For one thing, I didn't say anything about beauty standards- I mentioned MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE. Second, I never said women should or shouldn't do something- again, I mentioned MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE. Also, no one suggested saying anything to anyone's face, but because of MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE, I will tell someone that they're not my type. And lastly, the "makeup and pit shaving" standard isn't the same standard as tattoos (I've never seen a Revlon or Bic razor add even mention tattoos) AND you're factually wrong that MOST young women have "a great number of tattoos. Honestly, I think you came here looking to debate... over NOTHING.
I'm not going to defend the dairy industry or the government subsidy of it. However, dairy consumption in humans past infancy is actually uncommon around around the world. Dairy consumption past infancy has its origin in northern European people who had a genetic mutation that allowed for the production of the enzyme to break down lactose past infancy. This mutation was advantageous since dairy is quite nutrient dense and therefore it has stuck around.
That is fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
It needs to be raw dairy.
That's a nice thought, but untrue, both raw and pasteurized milk have lactose. if you are lactose intolerant you can't consume either.
Woah. This is the best episode of this show yet.
20:29 I avoided thinking too much about the calves-factor for a long time and am glad to hear you spelling this out. I finally faced facts several months ago and switched to unsweetened soy. Nowhere near as nice but deffo the right decision - and affordable compared to alternatives like oat and almond. No sign of boobs but you can't have everything.
Yeah,I haven't found a plant based alternative the matches half n half or cream, I suppose in cereal it might be OK. .
So why not just cut it out, why substitute? If you scrutinize the other products you use in your everyday life, you'll hardly find anything ethical about how those things come to be. Unethical labor practices, environmental damage, ect ect.
@@chrism8180 some people are ok with substitutions. especially the ones putting diesel into a petrol tank
impressive. I wish everyone could hear your words. you are amazing
you are wrong about the cow's milk
Maybe you can do video about soybeans production: Monsanto policy , genetic engineering and herbicide (of course.)
This is far more scarier then milk issue
It isn't really scarier. You are just more used to the vampires than the werewolves
Most of the GMO soy beans are fed to cattle, FYI.
Finally quitting smoking after 20 years on and off. It’s incredibly hard but it has to happen. Definitely not switching to a vape. Thanks for this.
The bigger scam when it comes to real estate is that it was originally granted to people and meant to be perpetually granted but then somehow land patents were overlaid with deeds so that banks could get involved, which of course opened the doors to other things like land use restrictions etc.
Soy is absolutely toxic, to claim otherwise shows complete ignorance. Comparing eating dairy to eating dirt is even more ignorant.
Citation missing.
@AccordingtoNicole "citation" would be ignored. There's huge amounts of literature on the topic, just a Google/youtube search away
It's just trendy to not like milk
@@johntitorii6676 especially with the woke libtards. Humans have been consuming milk for millenia. Some cultures depend entirely on milk as their main food source. Whats really weird is thinking milk consumption is weird. Its perfectly normal for most the world.
Soy beans, tofu and soy milk are protective against cancer. The soy protein isolates are the ones to avoid, they would be found mostly in powdered proteni drinks and such.
Thank you for including the information on the dairy industry. I am well aware of that but a lot of people aren’t. My mother had her children in the 1950’s. So many of her friends and her were told they didn’t have enough milk so they could not breast-feed and they went on formula or whatever they gave them back then. A whole generation of women with so many women having defective breasts? Right. There were other reasons to get them to stop breast-feeding as well but anyway, it’ll increase the sales of dairy products. Thank you again.!
Done with Dairy! My Mom, who was born in the 30's, was raised with cows that belonged to her grandparents. She would drink fresh cow milk as a little girl. She said it was so good (so creamy & non-pasteurized). The cows got to keep their young and the milk was 'shared' with the calves. It was not a commercial operation. It's not that way most of the time anymore, but it would be so nice if things were how it used to be and should be still now. I still think the hormones could be an issue, but at least they weren't injected with 'growth hormones' etc. back then. Was so sad for the cow chasing the truck with her calf leaving. It would be nice to live near a 'humane' dairy farm.
I started drinking dairy alternatives because it was actually cheaper for me to buy it at my local grocery store. Then I noticed when I tried to go back to cow's milk, I did not feel good at all so I've been buying alternatives ever since. You truly opened up my eyes to the dairy industry though and it has solidified my decision to never purchase cow's milk ever again.
I have a GAP sweater (cardigan) from 1989 that is still like new and i wear it every autumn. I doubt that kind of quality exists today.
I’m shocked at the milk industry. I’ve never been a milk drinker but I have used it in cooking. I’m so disgusted at what happens. I wonder if the same goes for goat’s milk, if they do the same thing to goats? Horrible and disgusting.
Yes. It’s the same.
I was vegan for a long time but I do love dairy. The thing I realized about eating any dairy is that there is no escaping that torturous cycle. Giving up eating beef is not enough. You have to give up anything related to a cow to make a difference.
I’ll be grateful for yet another scam video! Thanks Nicole
I stopped drinking milk about 6 years ago. I'm glad to see how small the cow's milk section has got in the dairy part of the store over this time. I hope it continues to shrink!
Thanks for sharing your videos. Great stuff! Well Done!
I’m a smoker that alternates between cigarettes and Nicorette gum. I tried the vaping and it dawned on me…I’ll probably never get rid of the nicotine addiction but if I want to get rid of smoking itself…vaping is not gonna do that. So…I do nicotine gum..makes more sense to me if I really want to quit the actual smoking.
Smoke is smoke, vapour is vapour. Smoke results from combustion and has tar and carbon monoxide, vapour is from heating a liquid and does not.
smoker here. Tried the vaping and almost coughed a lung up. For my its phychological hand to mouth relax. I agree with the gum though does good to curb cravings.
I suggest you go with the gum and stop with the cigarettes. Stuff I have read makes me think that the gum and the patch are a safer way to get your needed drugs
Former heavy smoker of 17 years here:
You need to break all habits - for 30 days - that go along with smoking, since they trigger your "cigarette hunger". 10% is nicotine addiction, 90% is habit.
- Coffee/alcohol and cigs
- smoking breaks with your colleagues
- party gatherings or meetings with people who smoke
- smoking routine on regular parts of the day, e.g. when you go home from work, etc.
The best time to start quitting is when you're not on your daily schedule anyways, like holidays or such. It's way easier to change habits for said 30 days.
- Watch YT videos for quitting and use apps that count the days you managed to NOT smoke.
It's hard, but it works. It's only 30 days of your life but absolutely worth it. Been smoke free for 10 years now.
Thank you again. I am an old man who wears overalls most of the time. For years the brand was Liberty overalls but the quality went to hell and it was a guess which country they might be made in. Now I buy American made Roundhouse overalls, excellent quality and they last for years.
Yes, keep bringing reality to light... If society was hammered by content like this the same way we're hammered by commercials... Things might actually change for the better. 👍💯 Nice job, thanks.
Thank you for making these videos. Excellent job.
No other species cooks their food either lol.
Edit: oh God ok those poor cows
Hey Nicole, I've come to look forward to your videos :) Bringing great info in your own special way!
I agree. These systems and actions are so ingrained no one thinks about it.
When I mention things like this to people they think I am crazy. At sixty-four I have had a ride on the medical merry-go-round. With out socialized medical (except to certain cases) is a wild and costly ride. Nearly impossible to get off of.
Your opening statement is spot on...period!! Oh...regards to the vamp thing, my daughter's PCP told her that she should stop vaping and go back to cigarettes. That's amazing! Vamping is definitely harmful. Great video!! -- man, the segment on the dairy thing (the cow running after it's calf tore my heart out) is incredible.
Thank you for organizing the way you did
Another great video. Thank you!
very good point about the dairy industry, same principle also goes for egg production, the roosters get thrown into a blitzer once the eggs hatch and the chicks are being sorted. This may become one for a future video, the food triangle... you would expect it was designed by the ministry of public health... but no, it was designed by the department of agriculture... and some food got valuated way too high... like the dairy products, the carbs, the meat products...
the housing cost seems to be directly related with the amount of money in the system, your government has probably been financing lots of stuff and your banks have been lending money like there's no tomorrow.
I'm no bleeding heart but the poultry industry is pretty wack that I'm a little surprised the animal rights people haven't made a stink. At least free range is getting popular.
"sub par" chicks are also sold as live fish bait and put on the hook very much still alive.
@@Whitetiger187 they use so much antibiotics to keep the diseases in check that it's a ticking timebomb before some infections that now require 10 days of antibiotics and you're good as new will be lethal again.
I didn’t finish but the cow part is most disturbing. I hope the dairy industry crumbles and cows everywhere can live happier and healthier lives, not be separated from their babies and not forced to give birth over and over again. My heart breaks for this absolute BS
What amused me is that during one of your ad breaks, I was given a real estate ad. lol.
Excellent! Thank you Nicole. I really enjoy your video blogs.
I absolutely love your insight. Keep up the great content. Yes, this one was heavy, however people need to know and UNDERSTAND this shit! 💖💖💖
Yeah, I think I'll finish off the dairy I have in fridge and move away from it. There's also something about it that I can eat way too much of it easily? Kinda makes sense because you'd want a baby to eat as much as possible. But I'm not a baby, and definitely not a cow baby.
Thank you, Nicole! ❤
services like aura are pointless unless you get everyone you know to stop using social media and sign up for it as well.
Excellence. You are correct...reality is a bummer, but your content is always top notch. I actually learned a thing or two today. I am not a milk drinker, so I hadnt really given the dairy industry much thought. Very interesting indeed. I think you nailed it in your opening: everything IS a scam. Thanks always, Nicole!
Excellent. Keep these coming.
yes never stop
Thanks for pointing out the dairy scam. Everyone needs to now this info.
Popcorn lung ,, That sounded funny for some reason 😂
Love your vids. Thank you 🙏
Great vid Nicole 👍
You are such a breath of fresh air. Keep it up.
My wife bought about 30 beautiful, varied, high quality polyester print button blouses 25 to 30 years ago when she arrived in Canada and thanks to careful wearing and washing, every one is still like new, with colours and patterns to suit every occasion. Since then, the stores and boutiques where she bought them aren't there anymore, and because of her preferences, there is nothing new to buy. It's strange, at the very least. By the way, thanks.
This is my favorite so far! ❤️
I got to the part about milk and you won yourself another subscriber. Cannot agree more! Milk is filled with pus from infected udders, antibiotics, pesticides from their feed, growth hormones to increase milk production, and the list goes on. I grew up on a dairy farm and watched milk trucks get hosed out with a bleach solution-so add that to the mix. My siblings and I didn’t grow up drinking milk and never had a broken bone or rotten teeth.
Thanks for mentioning how dairy is a scam! 🥛 🤬 Also, yes to the finances in Canada vs. US idea. 👍🏻
Thanks for the content! 👏 They are entertaining, informative and worth the time to listen and watch!
