You need to remove the semi-colons from the link above. Three different studies showing that milk consumption results in taller children.

As to your second point--the issue under debate here is not meat consumption, but rather the CO2 emissions of animal agriculture. So we're talking about telling Bangladeshis to be vegans, not merely vegetarians.

Huh, these numbers really disagree in a couple places.

Nevertheless it seems like the most important way to minimize CO2 is to focus on grains, and that milk, eggs, poultry, pork, and fish aren't all that bad compared to the average vegetable.

And milk's easy to budget for, two cups a day is only 10% of a kid's calories.
