So is it Dairy or Isn’t It?

Although I am not Catholic, I’ve always appreciated the practice of Lent. So, for this Lent season, I have decided to give up dairy.

I became very confused when it was time to put cream in my coffee. I have the Coffeemate creamer that claims to be non-dairy. Just to be sure, I glanced over the ingredients and it has in it, a milk-derivative. If something is derived from milk, how can it be not milk? Then a friend brought up Splenda and how they advertise: “made from sugar, but it’s not sugar.” Now are you confused?

For the sake of my coffee, if it says non-dairy, I will take it.
