Would you rather have

1 A vehicle that requires a software license package to repair and that the government can use a device to shut down

2 A horse, elephant or other animal that you have to keep from dying to use for transportation and clean up the poop

3 A bike that you have to prove you did not steal and that you must keep others from stealing

4 Walk

@lain

If they give them elephants then that is a gift

It is very expensive to buy an elephant

Also elephants are better for transportation than cars with software licenses required to repair

Elephant powered labor to carry heavy things

Another peer reviewed scientific journal article calling eating cow dung a precious gift to mankind

The peer review process does not work to advance science and is not a legitimate way to know if a scientific claim is true

"cow dung-based toothpaste protects against oral pathogens and improves oral health"

@VeganMGTOW

So not eating certain things will not protect me from all diseases but

Only protect me from diseases caused by eating certain things that cause diseases

@VeganMGTOW

"Just stop eating meat dairy and eggs and You will be inmune basically to All diseases known to science"

Will it protect me from diseases caused by being stabbed with a rusty knife, being in a car accident or shot with a gun?

Scientific Journal Articles used to promote the use of cow dung and try to make it acceptable to the rest of the world outside India

claim that cow urine therapy is capable of curing several diseases, including certain types of cancer, although these claims have no scientific backing. In fact, studies concerning ingesting individual components of panchagavya, such as cow urine, have shown no positive benefit, and significant side effects, including convulsion, depressed respiration, and death. Cow's urine can also be a source of harmful bacteria and infectious diseases, including leptospirosis.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchagavya

Panchagavya or panchakavyam is a mixture used in traditional Hindu rituals that is prepared by mixing five ingredients. The three direct constituents are cow dung, urine, and milk; the two derived products are curd and ghee. These are mixed and then allowed to ferment. The Sanskrit word panchagavya means "five cow-derivatives". When used in Ayurvedic medicine, it is also called cowpathy.[1]

He (and others) believe that the medicinal properties of herbs eaten by a cow remain in the dung. In fact, panchgavya, a concoction of cow's milk, clarified butter, yogurt, urine and dung, is believed to cure a slew of diseases including cancer and diabetes. Soni uses this mixture in his products, too.

There is no scientific evidence to support any of these claims.

For his products, Soni uses dung, urine and milk derived from indigenous cow breeds, which have a little hump on their back. The hump, according to Hindu scriptures, has a "surya ketu nadi," a vein that absorbs useful solar radiation, which in turn enriches the cow's products, he says.

"Soni, 35, started making cow dung soaps in 2008, but he's certainly not the first to use these items in beauty products. Initially, his customers were devotees at a Hindu temple in Mumbai"

"he launched his own cow-based beauty products line. Cowpathy Care, as it's called, offers 80 products, including cow dung soaps, cow milk creams and an under-eye gel made from cow urine."

Except all the soaps include cow dung and cow urine as ingredients.

Why make soap from this stuff?

Cows are sacred in Hinduism. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of life, says that cow products like dung, milk and urine have healing properties. Many rural Indian homes use cow dung to pave floors. And many Hindus believe drinking cow urine is good for health.
