I wouldn&#x27;t mention carob, unless you had expressed a distaste for everything having to do with the sourcing of chocolate.<p>I don&#x27;t, by any means, assert you or anyone else should care about the welfare of cows. I also don&#x27;t assert anyone should care about minimizing environmental damage. However, if you do claim to care about those causes, it strikes me as the height of irrationality to choose to support an industry so massively at odds with them, especially for something as trivial as a sip of milk. When you care so little that it&#x27;s non-distinguishable from not caring... you don&#x27;t care.<p>I&#x27;m not trying to pick on you. So many people today just seem to &quot;care&quot; about things only because it&#x27;s trendy, and then only the minimum amount necessary to be able to consider themselves caring individuals.
