You don't have to look hard to find someone who's off dairy: just about every wellness influencer seems to avoid it, and every friendship circle has at least one member (maybe it's you) who's experimented with giving it up. There are plenty of good reasons not to eat dairy: for health, either because of an allergy or intolerance; for environmental or ethical causes; or because you just don't like it. (I, for example, have never understood the temptation of a cheese plate. A hunk of brie, gouda, camembert, whatever — zero appeal. To some, this makes me a freak.)

Canadian dairy farmers have been forced to pull adverts which falsely claimed there are no growth hormones in their milk. The adverts, which had been running nationwide, prompted complaints to Advertising Standards Canada - the advertising industry's self-regulating body.

The U.S. government’s decision to partner with McDonald’s and increase the amount of cheese and other dairy products used in meals is irresponsible, says the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). The decision will affect 14,000 McDonald’s locations across the country. The Egg White Delight McMuffin, along with other McDonald’s Signature Sandwiches are now to include 30 percent more cheddar cheese.

All dairy-producing countries are vulnerable to the climate catastrophes that are squeezing France’s butter supply. In recent weeks, supermarket shelves in parts of France have been bereft of the butter that sustains French cooking and baking, not to mention the quintessential Gallic pleasure of a baguette au beurre.
