My school is in a really unique situation because we have a cafeteria but very few students use it because there's a shopping mall with a variety of restaurants across the street. But I've looked at the cafeteria menu recently and I'm not aware that they really have any alternatives when it comes to milk. I don't think they sell soy milk or any non-dairy forms of milk in the cafeteria. I think they offer a veggie burger on a daily basis, but I'd say there's still a lot of work to be done in terms of being vegetarian and veganfriendly.
Most things that have dairy can be replaced with all the taste you have with dairy and all of the nutrition. Cow's milk can be replaced with other forms of milk, whether it's soy milk, rice milk, or whatever, so it hasn't been as limiting as I would have t...

Its the worlds most popular meat, but youd be hard-pressed to find goat at the supermarket. Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, authors of Goat: Milk, Meat, Cheese ($30, Stewart, Tabori and Chang), think this scrawny farm animal could become Americas healthy and sustainable alternative to beef. The new cookbook serves up more than 100 recipes plus tips for braising, roasting and grinding. Weinstein shares his thoughts on the Other Other Red Meat. Q: Why do you think goat is such a mystery in America? A: Despite being the most widely eaten red meat in the rest of the world, North America never really took to it. Goat doesnt lend itself easily to factory farming, so its not something that can be mass-produced, even though its popular elsewhere. Q: I...

[Lauren Nelson], who comes from a family of educators, is excited about adding 'teaching kids about nutrition' to her goals as Miss America this year. One of the ways she will be achieving that goal is appearances with the Mobile Dairy Classroom, a Southwest Dairy Farmers initiative. This "classroom" is a traveling milking parlor, featuring a live cow and an oral presentation. Trained instructors demonstrate how to milk a cow, describe how milk goes from the farm to the consumer, and in general, teach youngsters about the "dairy farm experience." Mobile Dairy Classroom instructors will work with Lauren and adapt their presentations for her to speak to kids from pre-kindergartners through high school. The Southwest Dairy Farmers' twelve Mobile Dairy Classrooms annually appear before appr...

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - In order to tell what is going on inside the digestive tract of a dairy cow, there is nothing quite like taking a look.
So on a steamy August day inside the research barn at Penn State University, graduate student Chanhee Lee reached into a hole that had been surgically cut into the side of a brown-haired bovine.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y., June 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Farm Sanctuary, the nation's leading farm animal shelter and advocacy organization, today released a new research report, "The Welfare of Cattle in Dairy Production," a summary of scientific evidence that exposes and evaluates common practices in the dairy industry. Key findings in the report have shown an increased focus on intensive milk production per cow that has led to a mass decline in the welfare of cattle used in dairy operations. Today, three out of four dairy cows in the United State never graze in pasture, and a significant proportion is not provided routine access of any kind to the outdoors. Those who are housed outside are usually confined in crowded, barren dirt lots.
Since 1991, the number of total U.S. dairies has dropped...

So far it hasn't been all that difficult to sell Millborne Farm Yogurt Drink to Americans -- at least, not to Vermont customers who've gotten a taste of it at stores such Burlington's City Market and Healthy Living in South Burlington. At the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op, produce worker Brian Slavin and his 4-year-old daughter are sold on the stuff. "This may sound kind of out there," Slavin says, "but when I drink it, it really feels like I'm drinking nutrition. It has an amazing freshness to it ... People are buying it, too." In three months, sales along the Route 7 corridor between Rutland and Burlington have grown to 1000 bottles a week.
It's not organic. "For us, it's about cow health," [Gert] says, explaining that if one of his animals gets sick, he wants to be able to administe...

Dairy replacement heifers not only define the long-term future of dairy enterprises, but they also represent close to 10 percent of costs associated with milk production," was the opening statement by Alex Bach, Institute of Agricultural-Alimentary Research scientist, when he addressed nutritionists at the Tri-State Dairy Nutrition Conference in Fort Wayne, Ind. last month. He presented a nice summary of recent heifer rearing research and practical farm level application.
Common goals for large breed dairy heifers are to calve at 22 months, with a pre-calving weight of 1,550 pounds, or 85 percent of the herd's average mature cow size. To achieve these goals, heifers weighing 80 to 90 pounds at birth will need to average just about 2 pounds of weight gain per day. In addition to standa...
