I think we're working from different concepts, anyway. If someone gave up meat for health reasons and then later went along and gave up milk and eggs for animal reasons I'd see that as starting down the path for health reasons.

Conversely, [livejournal.com profile] lonebear stays away from milk products because of health issues* but he'll order his steak "rare enough that a good vet could save it."

I suppose I simply don't see giving up milk as a step toward vegetarianism in anywhere near the same way that giving up meat is. So if someone always had to avoid milk and then later stopped eating meat, I'd see the first step toward being a vegan as being the meat step, not the milk step.
