I am 100% Paleo - 80% of the time.
I learned in my archeology class that ALL early HG humans 'invented' cheese on they're own. It is thought that when they took down a lactating animal they used its stomach as a bag to carry the milk back home. By the time they got there the acids left in the stomach fermented and/or curdled the milk into some kind of cheesy stuff. It must have took a brave one to look at it and say "ok, I'll try it." lol 'VIOLA - cheese!
So, I am for eating cheeses, yogurt etc. I even use heavy cream in my coffee. I don't however drink straight milk (from cows). Cheeses n creams are low in carbohydrates and regular milk is higher.
Anyway, I call myself a lacto-paleo since I am not lactose intolerant.
I agree with CountryFamily and treat your 'cheats' as treats and don't feel guilty about it too much.
