Why'd you cut it out? Unless there is a medical reason I wouldn't recommend cutting out a whole food group. You get a lot more from dairy than calcium.

Just my personal choice. I don't like the idea of drinking milk from another species when its intended use was for calves. Its full of cow pus, hormones, pesticides and other disgusting **** and I just don't see why anyone would want to consume dairy products.

Have you seen the movie "Forks Over Knives" on Netflix?

I gave up dairy for a few years but now consume it in small quantities. It's not easy but there are lots of good substitutes out there.

Some of my personal favorites:
Replace butter with unrefined coconut oil.
Milk with rice or almond milk
Cheese with Daiya or wayfare brand "cheese" or make your own using cashew based recipes. Hummusand guacamole also satisfy cheese cravings as does olive tapenade. Nutritional yeast on pasta.
Ice Cream: Coconut Bliss is the best! Hemp I Scream sandwiches are heavenly and rice dream ice cream bars are yummy.
yogurt: Coconut milk and almond milk based yogurts are both good.
Junk food: Ting's. They taste like cheetos but they are made with nutritional yeast. The same brand that makes "Pirate's Booty"

Good luck!

Tofu has more calcium per oz than milk. Cut some into almist anything you make or drink soy milk.

Good for you! Have you tried tofu? Do you like soy milk?

Cow milk is the perfect food.....for baby calves.

I always thought it was disgusting. Why do humans want to drink breast milk from an animal?
