Quote found by Chaitanya Mangala Dasa
Note: 1 pound = 1 pint = 2 cups
Prabhupada: So everyone is getting milk? How much?
Kirtanananda: As much as they want.
Prabhupada: As much as they want, then jaundice. [laughter] Too much is not good. They may take minimum half pound per head.
Kirtanananda: Minimum.
Prabhupada: Minimum. And maximum one pound. Not more than that. But “Because there is enough, let us eat,” no. That is not good. But children must get at least one pound milk. If they drink more milk they become stout and strong.
Kirtanananda: They get more than one pound. They get at least two pounds.
Prabhupada: Then their life is built up strong, and nice brain to understand. Do they not see the benefit of the society, that we are not killing children, we are maintaining them with sufficient milk? Is it not better civilization? And they are, for fear of overpopulation, they are killing. The mother is killing the child. Is that civilization?
(Room Conversation—New Vrindaban, June 24, 1976)
