We must tell our story. Isn't it fact that dairy recycles so many human waste by-products in what we feed our cattle? For example, vegetable culls or brewers grains. Does dairy get credit in reducing the carbon footprint in other industries with the bedding material we use? Does dairy get credit for the other products other than meat that are made, for example leather products? We do so much that the average person doesn't realize. As an industry, we need to do a better job of telling our story, as discussed by the issues raised in "Sustainability can be code word for vegan."
