PETA Discovers Nonexistent Link Between Dairy and Autism
LatestPETA’s scientists have been hard at work creating new and sensational ways to get you to fear meat and dairy. While I agree that a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle is an excellent choice, spreading fear and false information is not the way to gain converts. It’s dishonest at best and dangerous at worst. And this ad, which parodies the “got milk” commercials of the 90s is just honestly disgusting.
While there’s no one known cause of autism, it’s unlikely that dairy has much to do with either its development or the disorder worsening. On their informational website, PETA claims that studies have been done that show there’s a link between dairy and autism, but both the studies they cite are incredibly small and are not conclusive. In fact, researchers are concerned that anyone is taking this ad seriously.
