    You can just look at this post and see how they try to scare people into not drinking cows milk through fear of autism, which is some ablest bullshit. This is literally no better than anti-vax rhetoric.

      I mean, not trying to defend this as this is pretty bad, but I guess it gets people talking and thinking about their consumption of animal products?

        No, it doesn’t. It makes people discount anything you say because all you’re trying to do is draw attention to yourself. You end up being ignored and nobody cares about your message since the things you say are terrible.

        Autism is not a bad thing, but they are acting as if it is.

        How would you feel if the campaign said: “Drinking milk makes your child gay?”

        Would it still be okay because it gets people thinking about their consumption of animal products?
