Vegetarians have varied motivations including religious, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, environmental, social, economic, health, political, and personal concerns.

Hey y'all...been awhile since I've posted...
today, I had a coffee with cream, cuz I desperately needed a boost to get through class (chemistry). Afterwards, I noticed that I had a feeling in my stomach similar to hunger pangs, though I wasn't hungry since I had just eaten.
Since I was little, I have had this experience. I remember when it happened I would tell my mom that my tummy hurt and that I couldn't tell if it was because I was hungry or not (which was likely the best description of the feeling that I had to work with). She would just tell me to eat something and see if it went away, which of course it usually did.
I made the connection today that this feeling was directly associated with a dairy intolerance, possibly even allergy, I don't know for sure yet!
What does this mean? Well, I've been vegan before, and I think it was a time in my life when I quite possibly felt the best - so I'm back on the bandwagon! I think I haven't been vegan just out of sheer laziness - like not wanting to have to read the ingredients or ask what's in something.
(Earthlings, the movie narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, also gives plenty of good reasons to go vegan!)
So, I'm posting this mainly because I'm wondering if anyone else knows what I'm talking about! What's your lactose horror story?

How do you manage your diabetes?
Still....You need to find another source of Calcium because you don't want to your bones to break....
I don't know I have never broken a bone in a body (I chipped my knee cap do to a week muscle but fixed that)
I drink about A gallon of whole milk a week when I can get my hands on it....4 glasses a day roughly.
My girlfriend is getting me to go to 2% or 1% I can't remember but I has a off taste compared to Whole...But yeah i should drop a couple pounds not that I need it....Well I do but I need to gain muscle over that weight loss.
Anyway don't give up hope I wish you luck
