Dairies

Speaking of moving dairies (“Central Valley Fights Plans for Giant Dairies,” Jan. 3)--remember the book, “Diet for a Small Planet”? The author stated that we should all acquire a taste for soy milk. I didn’t think it would become important for me, but the future came faster than I thought it would.

The waste from the Chino dairies is already filtering into our ground water in Orange County. I’m sure those people in Bakersfield wouldn’t object to a large farm of soybeans, compared to 28,000 gaseous cows.
