I've seen the whole non-dairy, non-meat thing get political in another forum so not out to change the world, just my own eating habits. One item I dumped but has slowly crept back is cheese. It's easy to see why...it's addictive. So says Dr Neal Barnard. There is a chemical in it that the dairy industry knows is addictive much like the tobacco industry knows nicotine is addictive. So serve up some more cheeseburgers, pizza, casseroles, salad topping, you name it. We love it!

For more, go about 10 minutes in (or better, try to watch the entire lecture) to Dr Barnard's presentation. He does an excellent job.
