In this episode, Kathy discusses:

-- how Joaquin Phoenix's Oscar acceptance speech inspired this episode

-- the tactics of Direct Action Everywhere, the organization that disrupted Joe Biden's Super Tuesday speech with cries to "Let Dairy Die"

-- This history of U.S. milk production

-- The cruelty inherent in the dairy industry

--  What a mother cow taught her about the extraordinary bond between cows and their calves

Key Takeaways:

--  There's no such thing as "cruelty-free" dairy

--  After providing milk to us, dairy cows are slaughtered

--  Milk sales are plummeting and plant-based milk sales are soaring

-- There's no justification for removing a mother's child from her year after year to produce a food not intended for humans
