The article that changed my view … of dairy production

Edyta Mucha was moved to alter her diet, share her views, and support the Guardian after reading a piece about dairy farming

Edyta Mucha, 38, is a veterinary inspector training to become an English teacher. She lives in New Warsaw, Poland.

I read Chas Newkey-Burden's opinion piece Dairy is scary: the public are waking up to the darkest part of farming last month and was immediately struck by how candid it was. It describes in detail the whole process of dairy production, and the practices occurring at a huge number of farms: calves separated from their mothers, huge numbers of animals kept in tiny pens close together, female calves brutally inseminated. It was quite shocking.
