SIR - August 22 is World Plant Milk Day, which celebrates the benefits of kinder, healthier alternatives to dairy milk.
Not only are dairy cows among the most exploited animals on farms today, but regular consumption of dairy products can be bad for our own health as well as the health of the planet.
Thankfully, plant-based alternatives have never been more accessible. You'll now find soya, almond, oat and coconut milks in most supermarkets, not to mention dairy-free versions of butter, cheese and ice cream. Plant milk is now the leading product within the plant-based food sector and forecasts predict its popularity will continue to grow as more and more people make the switch.
It's clear that the dairy revolution is already underway. For free information about ditching dairy, visit animalaid.org
