I am in the process of trying to let go my love for dairy products. I like meat, but to me, it's just something that is a lot easier to give up than cheese and milk.
I would say that I am going to start ovo-lacto sort of diet, but after reading what I have about dairy farms, I am feeling bad each time I eye a glass of milk.
So, I am looking into my options. One, is soy-based "dairy" products. I have never tried soy cheese or soy milk, but I am planning on buying some cheese to give it a try. See if I like.
The other thing I was hoping for was to see if there are any animal-friendly dairy products. Some kind of egg that isn't laid by hens in a cage, but by ones that can run free and do the egg-producing as well. Or milk that is taken from a cow who can still roam freely in fields. Is this just hopeful thinking or should I just bite the bullet and switch to soy?
I'd appreciate any input! I am really making an effort to change my way of life with eating. If I need to give up the dairy products, then I will.
What a process it will be! However, after all the reading I've done, I'm confident I am making the right choice.
Thanks - Jen
