Bodybuilder Brian Turner (@brianturnerofficial) an

Bodybuilder Brian Turner (@brianturnerofficial) and gastroenterologist Dr. Angie Sadeghi (@angie.sadeghi) both struggled with severe skin issues.

Brian experienced modular cyst acne that started at 15 years old. He was also getting into bodybuilding at the time and drinking a gallon of milk a day. Not even the highest dose of Accutane could prevent the cysts from popping up.

Dr. Sadeghi had pustular eczema on her hands she couldn’t get rid of. Her doctor also prescribed her medication, but to no avail. However, when both of these individuals dropped their medication and cut out dairy, their skin issues subsided.

Dr. Sadeghi realized her eczema was an allergic reaction to dairy, whereas Brian discovered that dairy triggers MORC, which activates your sebaceous glands that excrete sebum—the oily substance that builds up under the skin and leads to acne.

Remember Lunch Tops? You'd scour cereal and snack

Remember Lunch Tops? You'd scour cereal and snack boxes looking for the iconic tokens, encouraged that the more you collect, the more funds you'd raise for your school (plus, prizes were also involved!)

Well, a program run by the New Zealand Farmers Livestock organization and AFFCO swaps out cardboard tokens for unneeded dairy calves (Bobby calves). The Cash for Calves program donates 40 cents to a local rural primary school or fire brigade for every Bobby calf farmers supply.

Translation: for every male calf killed, a school gets 40 cents.

The dairy industry is not a slaughter-free system—it's the genesis of the veal business. These male calves mean nothing—they're a mere byproduct of dairy.

This is the first of a series that we're calling "WTF Wednesday" about real things that happen in the dairy industry that are so shocking you're sure they can't be true... BUT THEY ARE.

Share this post to spread the word and up the ante on exposing the lengths the dairy industry will go to just to turn a profit!

As we continue to fight for access to plant milks

As we continue to fight for access to plant milks in the school system and implement more choices for kids to accommodate their dietary preferences and allergies, it’s important to look at the nutritional comparison between soy milk and cow’s milk.

As the USDA runs and manages the National School Lunch Program, they currently recognize soy milk as the ONLY nutritionally equivalent plant milk option to serve to students.

When you swipe through the slides, you can see that, compared to cow’s milk, an equivalent 8 oz. serving of soy milk has:

> Half the calories
> 11 grams less sugar
> Half the fat
> Zero cholesterol
> More iron & fiber
> Same levels of protein, vitamin D, and calcium

We will continue to be champions of choice and milk freedom until children across the country (and the world) have access to clean, healthy, nutritious, climate-friendly plant milk in their schools!

If you want to have a happy gut, you’ve got to h

If you want to have a happy gut, you’ve got to have probiotics in your diet on a regular basis.

They help boost your immunity, regularity, and digestive power. Yogurt is traditionally one of the best ways to get your daily dose of probiotics.

This nondairy, coconut-based yogurt is even more creamy, tangy, and tantalizing than the traditional version made from cow’s milk.

Add your favorite fresh fruit, like figs and apples, to take it over the top!

Coconut Yogurt with Fresh Figs and Apples

4 young Thai coconuts
4 to 6 capsules of acidophilus probiotic powder
1/2 cup raw coconut water
3 limes, juiced and zested
1/8 cup coconut nectar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup blueberries, reserved for garnish
1/4 cup goji berries, soaked for 10 minutes, reserved for garnish
1 pint fresh figs, destemmed and halved, reserved for garnish
1 large apple, cored and sliced, reserved for garnish

Crack open the young Thai coconuts with a cleaver or coconut knife and scrape out the coconut meat with the back side of a spoon. Remove any shell pieces or hard particles and rinse with fresh water. Open the acidophilus capsules and empty the powdered probiotics into a small bowl. Blend the coconut meat, probiotic powder, coconut water, lime juice, 1 tablespoon lime zest, coconut nectar, and sea salt in a high-speed blender for 30 to 40 seconds until completely smooth.

Transfer the yogurt mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the yogurt sit at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours to activate the probiotic cultures. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your desired consistency.

Remove the yogurt from the fridge and top with blueberries, goji berries, figs, and apples. The yogurt will last for up to five days in a covered container in the fridge. If fresh figs are out of season, use dried figs instead.
