13. I really enjoy almond milk.

I was always a big milk drinker when I was younger, but think about this: cows milk was fine-tuned by natural selection to put a couple hundred pounds on a baby calf in a short period of time. I'm not a baby calf, and don't want to put on a couple hundred pounds.

Couple with that the correlation between milk consumption and various forms of cancer, and that convinced me to drop it from my diet. The biggest milk drinking, cheese eating, ice cream eating person I ever knew was my father, and he died of esophageal cancer at too young an age.
