I think that info is really disingenuous. Holstein is THE smashed and slammed cow for milk production. They are the most efficient cow producing 32,000 lbs of milk in a 305 day lactation, and the most numerous milking cow. They are commonly A1A1 or A1A2 as well. Thus, western cattle more commonly are going to have A1 milk.

Jersey, Guernsey, Normande, and Brown Swiss breeds have a higher percentage of A2 genes.

Part of the reason I am actually for A2 milk production is it helps support farmers of rare and endangered breeds of heritage cows, ever since Holstein became the standard for factory farming. It allows a milk market for other farmers to squeeze into.

Not to say people should AVOID A1 milk tbh, I don't think that's a fair assessment either. I haven't found anything bad about it, besides it may be harder to digest compared to A2.

Also there's a bit of an appeal to nature or whatever here. I'm sure there's a lot of shit proto-indo europeans did 5k years ago that you wouldn't like to do today.

AND Allow me to be a bit of a bloomer here, I haven't seen the food pyramid in schools I've been to anymore and parents generally seem to know it is bullshit now. I just don't think they replaced it with anything decent yet... The push for cereal being healthy though has really fucked a lot of kids lol
