RAJKOT/ VADODARA: Terming milk a superfood, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) which markets products under the Amul brand on Tuesday took an aggressive stand against supporters of vegan drinks. Tuesday was World Milk Day.
Amul and PETA India are involved in a war of words. Earlier, GCMMF managing director R S Sodhi had lashed back at PETA India over the latter’s remark that Amul should switch to ‘vegan milk’ from dairy products.
“Will they give livelihood to 100 million dairy farmers (70% landless), who will pay for children school fees .. how many can afford expensive lab manufactured factory food made out of chemicals... And synthetic vitamins,” Sodhi tweeted.
