Milk Causes Impotence? PETA Seems to Think So

November 24, 2009 by Holly

Peta impotence PETA has a very long history of promoting their vegetarian and vegan lifestyle by using very bold approaches that are often outright offensive, sexist, misogynist and above all, untrue. Yet another notch in the ‘PETA lies’ bedpost is their newest Santa Clause ad which claims that cow’s milk causes impotence.

In my (most humble) opinion, PETA is merely using scare tactics (or “kicking a guy when he’s down,” in a matter of speaking) in order to get people to pay attention. Sadly, their ‘punch in the gut’ tactics have worked, which is why we’re still seeing ads from them popping up again and again, all of them skirting right on by questionable and pushing up against insulting and this ad in particular, if you took PETA’s logo off of it, it could have been an ad for how to buy Viagra online.

There is absolutely no proof to be seen that supports their accusation that cow’s milk causes impotence and because so many of their ads and promotional techniques have been brought to question by several different reputable resources over the years, there are a great number of people who see them for who they truly are. People who are vegetarian and vegan and who would support PETA, had it not been for their “shock jock” nature, have seen through them for years and by using these types of marketing techniques and creating health risks that have no factual data supporting it to put on billboards, flyers and other marketing materials, they are alienating the same people who would otherwise support them and their cause.

    Couldn’t agree with you more. I however, avoid milk for the ‘proven’ reasons.
    Industrialized farming has destroyed any health benefits of milk. Milk is full of growth hormones and antibiotics that is causing many health problems.
    If drink milk buy raw milk!

    PETA is again making idiots out of them self’s . Its a shame really. If cows milk causes impotence then 99% of us would not have been born.

    Milk is a healthy food, How could it create such a great problem

    This is so untrue. However, milk does contain a lot of xenoestrogens due to the hormones they feed the cow, so hypothetically speaking, it may cause some unwanted sexual side effects, but I would think that drinking organic milk would solve that problem.

    This is just silly, I am curious if anyone actually gave up drinking milk because of this story, but I really hope not.
