If they want me to not eat meat so bad, buy my fucking tofu, seitan, seeds, sprouts, nuts, algae, thousands of seasonings, vegetables, whole cereals and all else, or shut the fuck up.
Veganism as a middle class cause deserves to be silenced as morally incompetent bullshit.

Milk and dairy is a terrible source of calcium.
Only 30% or so of its calcium is biologically available, furthermore calcium needs to be consumed with many other nutrients in order to end up in our bones and teeth, otherwise it's just excreted or accumulates in inappropriate parts of the body, becoming a health issue (see kidney stones).
Countries with high consumption of milk and dairy tend to have a higher occurrence of osteoporosis and bone fractures than the ones with low consumption of it.
If you want calcium, eat cruciferous vegetables, cucurbitaceae vegetables' seeds and tofu.
