1) Whoops, I'm lactose intolerant. I tested a cup of tea with milk just now, and the pain was almost immediate.
2) My body likes being slightly smaller. I now race my son without trouble.
3) Oh my god I am a vegan! The thirty year old ms is mocking me.

Having been vegan for a while, I've found that my body's reaction to milk and other animal products is often a better guide to their presence than food labels. And as my wife likes to joke, if we were supposed to drink cows' milk, we'd have four stomachs!
Aren't humans amazing? They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.
Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.
So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases.
Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.
Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and then call for Peace on Earth.

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right."
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
