I predicted that my milk and alternatives score would be very low as I don’t include dairy products in my diet other than chocolate milk and creamer in coffee. Because of the avoidance of dairy products, my milk and alternatives servings value was very low. The CFG also suggests that we make at least half of…

Factory farming causes mass amounts of pollution to our environment. Producing livestock requires many resources and produces a huge amount of waste at the same time. 55% of the water in the U.S goes towards animal agriculture, where as American homes only use about 5%.

Children younger than ten months old have immature gastrointestinal systems and are unable to properly digest and absorb the nutrients found in cow’s milk. Many of the nutrients in baby formula are not natural or easy to absorb. It’s hard to mimic the right mixture of vitamins and minerals that the mother’s body knows to give her child, which is why breastmilk is always best.
