Milked
by Doyle, Lisa
Milked is a bracing, unflinching examination of the dairy industry that refuses to let the reader look away from the harsh realities behind the carton in the fridge. Rather than a dry academic report, this book functions as a psychological audit of our relationship with industrialized food production. It leans into a gritty, intense atmosphere, peeling back layers of corporate power and moral compromise to show how survival for both the animal and the farmer is squeezed out by systemic greed. You will feel the weight of the author's investigative rigor on every page, creating an experience that is as unsettling as it is enlightening. This is for the reader who values hard truths over comfort and wants to understand the complex power dynamics that dictate our daily, often unconscious, consumption habits.
