Dairy Products

So one of my favorite things to eat is ice cream.  I love the stuff.  But, to my dismay, I am lactose intolerant.  I get very very sick when I eat the stuff.  So, I have been thinking of going without dairy for life.  Which, in my case, means giving up one of my favorite foods.  I have been recently researching going without dairy, and have come across many benefits of it.  Did you know that dairy products are linked to allergies, constipation, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and other disease?  They also contain considerable amounts of cow's blood and pus, pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics.  Yucky!!  Also dairy farms across the world keep their cows in very cramped and filthy environments.  They treat these animals, not like the living beings they are, but like they are milk machines.  It is common for a cow to produce more than 100 gallons of milk  per day, which is about ten times more than they would produce in nature.  This constant milking makes the cow's utters so saggy and large that they many times drag on the ground, causing painful rashes and infection.  Lets save the cow's milk for what it was originally intended for- it's babies!!
