I appreciate your comment, since I very much value the dedication to environmentalism you are expressing, however, I would defend the author’s choice of tone toward dairy. When it comes to changing people’s minds about environmental issues, I think we (people on the side of the environment) need to approach it with a gentle attitude to coax others, being cautious to avoid a tone that could make others feel attacked. You can’t change a person’s behavior while they’ve been placed on the defensive. That said, I think this article is a good discussion point for bakers like us.
