      Trust me, I am a very raitional person. I understand the dairy/meat industry plays an important role in the economy, in our culture, and can supply important nutrition for people who don't have ready access to fresh produce. Please don't make generalizations about me because of my eating choices :smile:

      So you admit you have a dairy sensitivity; then suggest then from that agree that everyone else shouldn't have them?
      Should someone with a peanut allergy go around telling everyone how bad peanuts are?

      I'm intolerant to Casein, but I still recommend others to consume it as I recognise it's an issue with my physiology.

      I am just throwing that out there, but again it is a person choice. I have different reason for being vegan (health/spiritual/ethical) and think that our bodies aren't really built to process animal products, but again I understand people like meat and dairy so I say eat what you want, none of my business. Just showing my support for the original OP :smile:

      I just have problems with big corporate farms, I have no problems with small family farms since I find they treat their animals much more humanly than the corporate farms (space, medical problems, etc.) But in the end it is a personally choice and don't judge anyone if they consume animal products or not, since I don't want people judging me. I do understand people's love of dairy, I am the granddaughter of a former dairy farmer! (70+ years; now raises beef)

      not judging just clarifying wherein your problem with milking animals lied. I am not a fan of the corporate farms myself. They are a big reason we raise our own animals. You keep doing what works for you. Peace.

      Let me say that I've done the research and know that milk isn't a requirement in the diet. If people are thinking that the calcium in it makes your bones stronger, it's a myth. While you do need calcium to help build bones, to make them stronger, you need to stress them. Usually exercise is the way to achieve this.
      That said, there's NO WAY in hell I'm giving up ice cream, yogurt and cheese.

      No. You didn't.
      From Planned Parenthood:
      "When does puberty stop?
      It can take up to 20 years of age for all the changes that happen during puberty to take place.

      Puberty doesn't happen all at once — it happens in stages. So a girl may show some signs of puberty at an early age (like breasts beginning to grow), but may not show other signs of puberty until she is much older (like getting a period)."

      Thanks for the info! I started very early (8-9-ish) and my doctor said I would stop around 16, might have miss recalled something. Thanks again for the info :smile:

      Strength training is one of the BEST ways to increase bone density. And ice cream (the real stuff, who's first ingredient is "cream"), yogurt and cheese are yummy.

      Tisk tisk :indifferent: I'm so hurt. That's not very nice of you because you seem so smart and knowledgable. I would love to have you support me and not call out my "idiocy"

      But ABBBBBBBSOLUTELY post away about your electrolytes that make plants grow. And it seems like you CAN start a post about it if you would like to. I'm sure there will be some really nice people who will disagree with your plant theory. I probably would. But chances are if I don't agree with it- I will just move on to a Topic that I do agree with. :smile:

      Ahahaha and you say you're not or not meaning to be condescending... :laugh:
