Alisa Fleming from FitFare.net has published a great article on having healthy bones without milk.  The dairy industry would like you to believe milk consumption = healthy bones but it's simply not true.  Alisa writes:

Peaceable Kingdom - Watch This Film

If you're going to watch any video on VeganBean let it be this one.  There are difficult images and it's a hard film to watch but the movie is amazing.  The documentary chronicles various paths to veganism and centers around an animal sanctuary and the wonderful things taking place there.  There is light at the end of the tunnel...so watch this film!
