Who likes milk?

[KewlKat00]

i actually just like skim milk. 1% is okay too. anything above that is too much.

even weirder - i never have liked chocolate milk. i remember in elementary school all of my friends would make fun of me because my last name was white and i never chose the chocolate milk. get it, haha...

[Summers]

no i have a friend richard who is obsessed with organics.

And drinking milk until 5 is still not the same as drinking it until 50.

and its a given fact they give cows stuff to keep them lactating, plus they give them further hormones for other reasons, and vaccines and what not, all this stuff gets into the milk

are you saying human beings were drinking cows milk 10000 years ago...i would have to disagree

i do like milk i was just saying the reasons people dont like it, and as much as you can try most of those reasons cannot be refuted..

"European cattle probably are descended from the wild cattle, B. primigenius, of Europe and were first domesticated in southeastern Europe about 8500 years ago. The ZEBU, or Brahman, cattle, B. indicus, were domesticated in southern Asia about the same time or a little later. Early records indicate that cattle were used for draft, milk, sacrifice, and, in some instances, for meat and sport."

And, yes, dairy cows are given loads of hormones and vaccines to make them produce more and keep them healthy. That was my original point. But there is an alternative. There is milk "produced without the use of antibiotics, added growth hormones or dangerous pesticides" (as quoted off the half-gallon I just pulled out of my fridge), thus making it USDA certified organic. You can check it out here: www.horizonorganic.com. But as I already said, it's not necessary to inject a cow with anything; any mammal will lactate as long as you milk her.

I'm not some milk advocate; I was just trying to let people know you have a choice, Sam! (See how that doesn't make sense?)

Speaking of which the Promised Land Dairy milk is excellent. Especially the strawberry and vanilla one. I never tried the chocolate one, but a teacher in high school used to say it tasted like melted chocolate ice cream because of how thick it was.

User loves the chocolate, damn that stuff is good.


But I stick to either 1% or skim.....

In the end you can just take supplements and it'd be like your getting the benefits of milk.

But what would you drink with cookies?? Huh??

[E20]

Yeah, with cakes, cookies and other pastries Milk is da bomb. Just thinking about it turns me on. A hot day, you go over and pour a nice tall of ice cold milk just so a little slides down out of the glass and drizzles down the side of your glass and you reach over for a nice fat piece of chocolate cake that makes your mouth dry and thats when you just gulp that sucker down.

I think you're in the wrong thread!

[Duff McCartney]

Skim milk is a bit thicker because it has the fat.

Uh skim milk has like .1 % fat in it.

[mavsfan1000]

I like 1% the best but can't stand home milk. I can tolerate skim milk though.

I love egg nog. I have a recipe for home-made egg nog I make once in a while at Christmas. It's grossly thick and rich, but it got me the greatest compliment I've ever received a few years ago. We threw a little party for our fellow broke-ass students, including our upstairs neighbor from England. In the middle of the party, he got himself more nog (I should mention it had plenty of rum) and shouted at me from across the apartment, "Your egg nog is GORGEOUS!" It would have made Martha Stewart blush.

I have an excellent homemade egg nog recipe too. Nothing like the fresh stuff on a cold night sitting by the fireplace. I hate to even think of the calories........so I don't.

What the is Soy Milk?

There is no such thing. It should be called soy juice.

I'm not cool on milk. I don't drink it.
Cow's milk is made by mama cows for little baby cows. Cows have 4 tummys and can handle the mass amounts of glue-like casein in their milk. ( BTW- you can actually make household glue from milk)
When I do drink animal milk, I drink milk from single stomached hooved animals....like goats.
Otherwise I drink soy. Preferably chocolate Silk. damn it's good.
But mostly I drink water. It's liquid life.

This just in: Honey is made for bees and should only be eaten by bees.

Also in: The Land of Milk & Honey is seeing declining tourism numbers.

Milk= Good for you in moderation
Honey= Good for you in moderation

I drink at least one glass of chocolate whole milk everyday.

Many tribal societies in Africa live and die by what goes on with their livestock - those cows are their livelihood - they drink the blood and the milk and eat the meat, as they have done as long as anyone can remember - these people evolved to drink milk, as did most of the Europeans. People native to many parts of eastern Asia and their descendents that ended up in the western hemisphere did not evolve to drink milk, which is why most Native Americans are lactose intolerant and many Asians are. Whether it is natural to drink cow's milk it totally dependent on your ancestry.

And goats as well. When we lived in Africa my sister went on a visit to a Masai tribe, she took a picture of one tribe member drinking goat's blood. It's gross.

C. The people who like milk drink a variety of types. (skim to whole)
D. The people who don't like milk may or may not drink milk subs utes. (goats, soy, rice)

Class, there will be a test later. Take good notes, be prepared.

I was breast fed. Maybe that's why I love milk?

But have you tasted breastmilk now as an adult? It is very very different. It doesn't taste anything like cows milk.
