I think we may have two camps on the list.  Those who avoid milk due to
various beliefs (i.e. the notmilk.com sort) and those who avoid milk due
to clear medical need (severe allergic reactions to dairy).  Why we avoid
milk hasn't normally been the topic of this list.  Dealing with dairy
avoidance has.
