Did you know...
... that cows produce milk for the same reason that humans do: to nourish their babies. But calves on dairy farms are typically taken away from their mothers when they are just a day old and fed milk replacers instead. Calves can’t drink any of the milk that was meant for them because humans take it.
Make a difference to these beautiful animals and mothers, and go dairy free!
There are vegan alternatives to all dairy products - cheese, milk, yogurt and even products that contain dairy, like dairy free curds, toffee and pudding. And what's more, they all taste amazing, so you really won't be missing a thing!
