Among the decisions not to drink milk are a growing awareness of the environmental costs of industrial milk production, the ethical concerns of intensively rearing animals, a dislike for the taste, and intolerance. Going dairy free is pretty easy these days, what with so many alternatives to choose from.

An allergy to cow’s milk is the most common food allergy in infants and young children. Around two-thirds of the global population have difficult digesting milk sugar because of a lactase deficiency.
