at  11:46 is the part about casomorphins in Neal Barnard's video.

Its so easy to get angry at non-vegans, including yourself when you mess up. Remember there is a physical addiction. Many parents would love to stop their children from smoking, but can't. Dairy, especially cheese is addicting.

  I really wished I would have known this sooner. A lot of this information is fairly old, four or more years. I feel really dumb drinking milk for my health all those years. How can I forgive myself?

    More information about casomorphines. One note I can find in the video that sugar, chocolate, and dairy is addictive and why. Yet, I can't find out why meat is addictive. Can anyone find it? If not I'm going to have to listen to some 50 minutes of video lol. :)
