Somewhat different, but I have a similar issue finding dairy-free foods that aren't vegan (I'm lactose intolerant and the dairy pills don't always work well).

Somewhat different, but I have a similar issue finding dairy-free foods that aren't vegan (I'm lactose intolerant and the dairy pills don't always work well). It's really frustrating.
In any case, as another commenter pointed out, Vox has a good map showing how much of cropland is used for feed and fuel rather than direct human consumption [1].

- catern 7y agoI'm just curious, not intending to be challenging: Why is it a problem that you can't find dairy-free foods that aren't vegan? You didn't mention another dietary restriction; is it that you don't like the taste of vegan food?
- mdorazio 7y agoGreat question. A lot of times I want a meat-based dish or dessert. Soy and similar alternatives just don't taste that good to me (beyond meat isn't bad, but it's also not exactly healthy for you). For the former I end up mostly cooking myself, predominantly Asian (tons of naturally dairy-free dishes) and some modified Mediterranean. For desserts it's a lot harder and these days I just don't eat many anymore, which is probably a good thing anyway.
