Healthy, comfy cows produce more high-quality milk, so cow well-being is a farmer’s top priority. 👑 🐄 But these animal welfare goals align with and help farms progress toward sustainability goals, too! 🌍 🥛

What's the deal with the fats in cheese? 🤔🧀 Should we be cautious?

"Sometimes saturated fats in cheese give it a bad reputation. While saturated fats are linked to an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, it’s important to remember that not all saturated fats are alike. Current research indicates that saturated fats from dairy foods may not affect the cardiovascular system the same way as others. Those in cheese may help prevent strokes and protect against heart disease.

Ongoing studies also suggest that a polyunsaturated fat in cheese called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) along with calcium may lower the risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. These nutrients help normalize blood sugar levels, ease inflammation and improve immune function. We still don’t know a lot about CLA. However, studies show it’s better to eat foods containing CLA than to take supplements."

What are dairy cows up to most of the time? 🐄

Just big chillin', honestly~ 🤷 😪 That includes lots of napping, and lots of snacking.

Producing milk might be her "job," but milking is just a small portion of a cow's day.
