I don't normally write or talk about my beliefs because I don't see the point, you can't change people. Well, not usually anyway. So this is not why I am posting it but I was so angry I just wanted to get it off my chest.
WARNING: The above link is from an article that is not nice to read or see because it is about the nasty truth about abattoirs. The headline of the article is Revealed: Shocking cruelty at massive abattoir... but those responsible WON'T be prosecuted.
To me, the article isn't even shocking because I'm aware of what happens at slaughterhouses, but it never fails to sicken me. You must have to be a certain kind of evil sadistic person to work in an abattoir and I really don't care who disagrees with me. I still can't believe it is allowed, this awful, inhumane treatment of animals. They are tortured and mocked and see their friends die in front of them and they know what is coming. Those people at the very least should be sacked. Urgh people disgust me.
There was another story recently that has even put me off chocolate and I didn't think anything could do that! It was a story about the male little baby calfs being shot at the milk producers for Dairy Milk bars because they are 'of no use.' I knew that in meat production the baby male livestock are often killed soon after birth because they don't fatten up like the females. I hadn't twigged that they might do the same at dairy farms :-(

I saw this too, and it saddened me. I couldn't bring myself to watch the video or look at the pictures too much. Male cows don't produce milk...
I used to think veganism was too extreme, but I do now see the sense in it I'd just find it very hard, and perhaps not that healthy.
Soymilk is creamy :) but no good in tea :(
I can cut down on cheese but there's a limit to my tofu tolerance.
I'm with Grandma - a LITTLE of what you fancy does you good. And I admire you both for living out your principles.
