In reply to the discussion: How often do you eat meat / dairy? [View all]hlthe2b
(106,778 posts)25. Red meat rarely; cultured dairy (homemade yogurt) daily...
That is using milk from a local dairy less than 20 miles away. Thus limited in terms of environmentally damaging and among the healthiest foods one can eat. Lumping cultured dairy with red meat or other dairy products is problematic in trying to make a point if saturated fat/health is the issue. Just ask the most long-lived people of Bulgaria and elsewhere or read the work of Nobel-winning researcher, Ilya Mechnikov. As to the environment, both animal and plant foods locally sourced are night and day less harmful from the standpoint of climate change than the majority of foods shipped, imported, processed, and transported.

If you have anything to do with Daisy cottage cheese or Lifeway kefir, you have my thanks.

Just about every meal, since you asked about dairy. My diet is basically paleo plus dairy.
