If you want to get really technical, humans could probably survive just fine on a diet of beans, rice, a bowl of broccoli, and an egg every now and then.

That doesn't mean we should discount anything else as a "luxury". We need a diversified food supply if we wish to feed all 7 billion of us, and sustainably produced dairy is a key component of that supply.
