    those are impacts from production. once it’s produced, drinking it has no impact at all.

    High speed doesn’t kill anyone, it’s the sudden deceleration that does.

      if we stop drinking milk, and it continues to be produced, the environmental impacts will not cease. if we stop production, it will.

            This must be a parody account or something. I can’t imagine anyone dumb enough to actually believe farmers will produce milk to rot ad infinitum without it ever being purchased. They couldn’t maintain production level without consumption even if they wanted to.

              you talk about it as though there are only two people, and each only needs to make one decision: the farmer whether to produce, and a milk drinker whether to buy it. there are dozens of actors and factors.

                If people stopped buying milk at current levels, then it would not be produced at current levels. The dozens of actors and factors would all be a part of that decrease. The market would shrink, not dissappear necessarily.
