A cow-friendly budget?

Star of Mysore reports:
'Children and cows are sources of energy on earth. If children grow well, we can build a knowledgeable society and by protecting the cows, we can build a healthy society', said Sri Raghaveshwara Bharathi Swamiji of Sri Ramachandrapura Mutt, Shimoga.

Addressing a press meet at Pathrakarthara Bhavan here this morning, the Seer said 'children are divine and so are cows. The government's move of including milk in the school mid-day meal programme is most welcome. In that backdrop, it would be highly appropriate if the next budget was made cow-friendly'.
All I can say is "Pah!" Since when have children been divine?
