Extractions: Albany, N.Y. - Milk-mustache ads may encourage kids to guzzle down gallons of the white stuff, but young people may find milk a little hard to swallow after seeing PETA's new "Milk Sucker" trading cards. The group's Vegetarian Campaign coordinator Sean Gifford, joined by a giant "cow," will hand the cards out to kids as they leave school: The eye-catching-and stomach-turning-Milk Suckers trading cards feature "Pimply Patty," "Windy Wanda," "Chubby Charlie," and "Loogie Louie," all suffering from ill-health effects associated with drinking milk, eating ice cream, and piling on the cheese. The backs of the cards warn kids that dairy consumption can cause an array of unpleasant side effects, such as gas, pimples, and a throat full of phlegm. Milk has also been linked to more serious health problems, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, and even osteoporosis-the very disease that it is supposed to help prevent. Why is PETA encouraging kids to "Dump Dairy"? Dairy cows today are treated like milk machines. The females are constantly impregnated, usually through artificial insemination on what farmers call "rape racks," in order to produce milk. Their calves are taken away from them after birth so the dairy industry can steal and sell the milk that their mothers made for them. The male calves end up chained inside dark crates and are killed for veal.
