Yeah, dairy has strong association with Indian culture and most cuisines. But if anyone has strong ethics of non-violence and once he / she understands the truth behind dairy industry, it's much easier to quit. But I understand what you want to say, it's a fact that old habits die hard and any change requires conscious efforts.

Many many congratulations to you for making the switch! Feel free to get in touch with me if I could be of any help in this matter. My best wishes are always with you!
