Usually, when making the change from vegetarian to vegan, the last thing you give up is dairy. It was the last thing I gave up, but here is just one more reason why you should consider it. Not only does dairy directly provide the veal industry with baby calves, but vegetarians that consume cheese on a regular basis are considerably MORE likely to suffer from iron-deficiency anemia than vegans. This is because dairy not only lacks, but actually interferes with iron absorption, making you more likely to suffer from iron-deficiency anemia. Think about that the next time you reach for that parmesan!

There was a story in the news a couple months ago about a woman selling her breast milk. Most people thought the story was really gross. But really it makes a lot more sense than drinking cows' milk. It's from the same species so it's the perfect makeup for a young developing human baby vs. cows' milk which is the perfect makeup for baby cows!
