Milk is another great example of industry influencing diet, it is not a necessary component of people's diet once they are done being a tiny baby.

Can't or don't want to? Cutting meat out is quite easy and more obviously a choice when you instead eat eggs, nuts, varied veggies, and legumes. Heck of a lot cheaper too
