A case for not drinking any milk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk#Criticism


And there is this highly-opinionated site http://www.notmilk.com/


A doctor once told me : cow milk is for calf, look how quickly they add mass.


Should we also stop eating green vegetables?

Passed six months, cows only consume grass, and look how quickly they add mass.


I'm impressed by your ability to leap logical canyons.

As you point out. Milk is for baby animals. Cow milk is for cows. Adult humans are neither babies nor cows.

Green vegetables are for all omni/herbivores.


I wasn't trying to argue the pros and cons of milk and dairy consumption, I was trying to ridicule the argument that fast growth of new born mamals is due to milk consumption and your how the doctor arrived to that conclusion.

New borns are "programmed" to grow fast. They do need energy to allow this growth, but consumption of milk is not the reason. There are a lot of baby humans who are dairy intolerant, they are fed with non-dairy replacements, and surprise, they grow at the same rate as other babies.


Doctors don't practice science. But I've heard the same thing, and it stands to reason like any piece of common sense.


Bananas are for monkeys, and just look at how hairy those guys are. Better not risk it.


How much do they consume? What else do they consume?

That saying has been around for ages, but strikes me as one of those superficially smart sounding but actually kind of fundamentally misguided phrases that sometimes become popular. Unless someone is suggesting an all cows milk diet, I suppose.


It's also for the species that conquered the world by relying on smart use of animal resources for survival.

I see two legitimate uses nowadays for "cow milk is for calves": raising awareness about the cruel aspects of our relation with other animals and promoting breast feeding.


I am one of these spammers. I had a chrome extension and was approached by revjet.io about adding injected ads. The ads typically overwrite the sites normal ads.

I see it as stealing the ad revenue from the content creator(which is often Google), which is the same as using adblock.

(the extension mentioned that ads were being used and you could also disable them)


I would like to see the same article written from the point of view of bay residents who are being displaced by the art folk.


Or one from 50 years ago complaining about all the bohemians moving in. Change happens.


This theory could be accurate in this case or since this is a niche product he may have not asked people that had this need.

Since I'm not his target market I wouldn't have liked the idea but I'm sure people who already like Dockers would have responded more favorably to what I see as just a better version.


in case someone wants a more mature parser: https://github.com/koles/ya-csv


By that reasoning nearly everyone has improved the world. Considering the negative impact we all have just existing in our society I'm sure his stance is more accurate.


In general, I think the average human being provides some good for the world. If nothing else, the average person in most[1] of the world can vote, hopefully on average stabilizing the political system. [2] They also act as an allocator for the market, enabling capital to go where needed. Each actor in the market acts as part of Adam Smith's invisible hand, helping decide where resources go. At the same time, most are parents to children enabling the whole thing to happen again.

Is your belief based on human impact on the environment, or is it something else?

[1] Better resources a Google away but this is something at least. http://www.economist.com/node/8908438 [2] http://www.stier.net/writing/demstab/demstab.htm#_Toc5203975...


You could say that my views are based on the environment but I would describe it as being on the world on a whole. All your benefits are to our societies and other related tribes. In that regard I agree that the average person provides some good but at a world level that includes the environment, other species, resources, etc I think the in most cases we are a negative force.


I think you just have a negative view of humanity.


This looks really good. I'm currently eating for 5-6$ a day and am vegan so I'm looking forward to trying this out.


Sorry, its north american only right now. After we test the database out in other regions we may open it up more.


Forgot revenue model part. Right now we just want to see if people like the idea. After that we might try to generate income to cover server costs and then donate all extras to charity if the demand is there.

General ideas would be: ad-supported, donation version, pitch green alternative products, track why customers avoid products and then sell that data to brands(which would help the brands be more ethical... hopefully), etc.
