N.Y. dairy farmers – here’s an issue that needs your attention. Maybe Governor Cuomo should hear your side of the story too. We here at WDD encourage you to take action!
Music mogul Russell Simmons wants New York’s governor to pull the plug on milk from cows.
The hip-hop impresario writes in a letter to Andrew Cuomo that milk should no longer be the state’s official beverage.
Simmons, a vegan who has taken on several animal rights causes with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, says milk from cows is less healthy than milk from rice, almonds or soy.
He tells The Associated Press he knows dairy is big business in New York but says other industries could spring up in its place.
Simmons and Cuomo go way back. They’re both from Queens, and they worked together a decade ago to help soften New York’s strict drug laws.
Cuomo spokesman Matt Wing said the governor’s office would not comment.

It sounds like another case of people who have no ties to an industry trying to change something that they don’t know anything about. Our government needs to get back to what is right for the country, and its people, not the individual, or some topic that is blowing in the wind at the moment. I wonder who works harder for their money, a dairy farmer or a Hip Hop singer?
Simmons has a right to drink and eat what ever he likes. So do I and everyone else.
I, for one, can’t wait for the next election cycle. It is time to move a few folks back to the private sector so they can earn a living like the rest of us.
