"Holy cow!"

What would happen if cows got extinct, or maybe just disappear from the food chain?


I am not going into the reasons as to why or how such a thing would happen. But a few (a lot actually) things came up today while I was going through the aisles in my neighborhood store, that really brought out this question. Can we call it a boon to have cows, just to favor mankind for so many different reasons or else are they destined to be on this earth to be slaughtered for the love of flesh. More than half the population considers milk as the super power for strong bones and a healthy body and nobody even wants to disagree on that. Cow's milk is the main source of all other dairy products - cheese, butter, cream, milk powder, ice cream, condensed milk, evaporated milk, Formula milk, butter milk, ghee, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream cheese and many, many more. 


Do you think you can live without making/eating those yumm sweets, desserts, appetizers or even without drinking the simplest milk shake? But at some point people will and can opt for something else if they don't even see milk on the aisle. I am sure the big brand names would come up with something like 'HULK' - gives you the power of milk or something named 'Just like milk-Just for you'. Since other animals are still existing in our story here, the options are still there.


We see the cow not just in the dairy section, but also on all other food products which contain milk or any other dairy product and we find the cow itself in the meat aisle. More than loosing all the dairy from the cow, if we loose the cow, it is the cow itself that we are going to miss. All meat lovers maybe can never find any other meat to replace the cow. They love this animal so much they produce and consume so much of it, never ending. The amount of meat consumed by this generation is way beyond how much our grand parents or even our great great great grand parents consumed. I am not going into the statistics of it, but I am positive it is going up, no matter even if the economy goes down.....hehehe.


Holy cow!, this animal definitely is a super power in this world. It's not going to happen suddenly, but gradually, slowly the time will come when this animal will disappear. And it is in human nature, for man kind will always go in search of an alternative. So be prepared...for a change................
