That is only half of the equation. To build strong bones, you also need to ensure that you obtain sufficiently enough weight-bearing exercise. Otherwise, all that dairy you consume will go to waste.

I still don't eat a lot of red meat though. I'll have lamb or beef in some form, but I don't eat regular steaks just cooked in a pan or barbeque, but that's mostly a taste preference.
I would be concerned about the amount of iron in your diet. Do you feel run down and sluggish often?
