July 23, 2009 by hollie Panic and Anxiety Issues

While I realize that there are worse things in the world than not being able to eat dairy products, like say elephantitis, or a third (or fourth) nipple, or having a few dozen nails shot though your head, it is sincerely frustrating to have to turn down every treat that comes your way because someone, [...]

The Twinkie Defense: “But I didn’t know it had DAIRY!”

July 11, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Last night certain monthly womanly things happened (subtlety, I has it), and I was craving something bad for me. Now, normally, I’d want Greg to run up to the corner store and get me a Skor bar, but for some magical reason, the mere mention of anything with milk (like milk chocolate) has me cringing. [...]

Do dairy products help or hinder bone loss? With bonus mulling of science and ethics.

November 2, 2008 by hollie Going Vegan
