I love milk. I love it with tea, coffee, hot chocolate or just simply milk. I need it for baking and cooking too, but now that I’ve learned about its production and how cows were treated I don’t feel like drinking milk anymore.

I know that there are animals that are meant to be eaten and it is a part of life, but these cows are impregnated yearly just for milk, and now I am aware that I’m drinking milk off of abused cows and it makes me feel really bad.

(While the thought of slaughtered animals hurts my heart, I cannot simply quit eating meat, but it’s moderated. I have a soft heart for cows so I don’t really eat beef unless it’s the only thing left.)

Are there any of you who gave up on drinking cow’s milk? I kind of feel like giving up on drinking them but they’re a part of me. I could drink alternatives (like almond) but it’s not a good source of calcium which I really need because I have bad bones. Is it even possible to quit drinking milk? Are there any alternatives with proper amounts of calcium?
