As a probable diabetic I have to avoid a large percentage of dietary delicacies I used to consume. One of the hardest things I have had to adjust to as far as my diet is concerned has been dairy foods. When you study food groups and how much dairy is a part of practically everything you consume including the ingredients of this article's recipe you are faced not only with a tasteless food list but a list of food that can do nothing but bring you grief and extra weight you don't need.

I have come to appreciate how important it is to maintain a healthy diet. If you have not read carefully the web site www.notmilk.com you need to do so in my humble opinion. I was one of those people who enjoyed and helped to sustain the dairy industry while growing up. I never stopped to think about what we ate and drank as a family. The next time you go to the grocery store take the time to read and consider the food you select. You have heard about what processed food includes for years but it goes much farther than that. Many of the foods you prepare are inclusive of adding milk to complete the recipe. Think how many times a week you do this with no real knowledge of what you are asking your body to do. The advertising and marketing of the dairy industry in America is monumental and has trapped millions of you in its snare. The conditioning process being done on you and your family is beyond description.

The dairy industry is not willing to tell you the facts but this website will; it has no vested interest and simply wants you to think about information that will improve your health in a very beneficial way. By now you are saying I will never abandon Milk Chocolate that dreamy gooey piece of heaven you have loved all your life. Or your cheesey macaroni dinners. Strangely enough I thought I would have a much harder time going cold turkey on dairy but not so. It took a lot time for me to understand that cows milk is for calves and breast milk is for babies. As a result of my doin this I am thirty pounds lighter and less congested and my asthma has gone away.

This will not be viewed favorably by the industry but your health and well being has to be put ahead of dairy profits. Please know this as well besides the dairy problems seen and described on this site the best thing you can do for yourself and your family is to become better informed about what is on the labels of the foods you purchase. Sugars make things taste more pleasing, saturated fats and sodium additives all contribute in a negative way to your diet. It is hard, I know but there are ways around this problem, it won't be easy but you will be better off eliminating as much of this out of your diet as possible.

I unfortunately had do deal with this problem with one of my children many years ago, and as a result I conditioned myself to pay attention whenever I saw dairy products in recipes. Thankfully, my daughter grew out of her allergenic reaction to all dairy, but I still watch and replace them in most of my menus just because it is a habit hard to break.. old dogs.. LOL

Thank you for reminding me, and bringing it to the attention of everyone else..
