[quote=Anonymous]I am a big dairy fan, so you can take my sentiments with a grain of salt. I think the idea of giving up dairy as being healthy is largely based on the idea that saturated fat is bad for us. The anti-fat fad that was pushed to prominence by govt policy in the 1970s is still very much part of people's baseline ideas about food, nutrition, disease, and weight. There are plenty of folks who do not believe that dietary fat, including saturated fat, is harmful. And that the drive towards low fat foods has made Americans fatter, as fats have been replaced by carbs. Michael Pollan writes very eloquently on this topic in his book In Defense of Food. Other reasons I see people cutting out dairy include: vegans who don't want to use animals for food and lactose intolerant folks [/quote]
