Cow's Milk?

I don't drink milk. I use it with cereal but that might be 10 times a year.

I've read enough information about milk and CVD to convince me that it's one of the most overrated foods. There are plenty of vegetables out there that contain calcium with the same bioavailibility of milk and milk products.
 
i grew up on milk. i think farmers who ''mass produce'', which is getting popular around here. smaller farms have died, trust me i know. I think in larger cities people should be concered. But i think i'm lucky so far. I do cut it out when dieting for a show.
 
I don't have an educated answer, just an opinion. I grew up on milk and continue to drink it. My family goes thru 5 gallons per week. I honestly think it can be better for you than any other beverage out there, including water. There are more chemicals in water than in milk, by far. And to buy "pure" water is very expensive.

wow, thats sad.one of the things my father took pride as well as myself was the fact that our cows we're fed well and right and how clean they were. some farmers dont have a clue, they're in it for the cash.:rolleyes:
 
Just my tuppence (two cents) worth.

Primitive tribes have consumed milk for tens of thousand of years, but always fermented/cultured into yogurt, clabber, buttermilk and soft and hard cheeses. See http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/ploy.html

It's only recently that we in the industrialised world have drunk pasteurised milk. This dead, white liquid contains no lactobacilli, no lactase, no lipase, no protease and no "Wulzen factor" (anti-arthritic stuff discovered by Rosalind Wulzen). Yuk!

Luckily, here in the UK, it's possible to get unpasteurised milk from farmer's markets and certified farms. It's never given me food poisoning.

Growing up on our farm, we always drank non pasteurized milk. It was run through a strainer first then into containers to be consumed.
 
I've never liked milk, even as a kid. I do however, LOVE cheese and yougurt.

Not familar with the dairy side of it, but my family raised cattle for people food. We didn't load them up with a bunch of bullshit hormones or anything. Pretty much just grass fed beef.

Not ALL farmers are "boosting" the cattle.

Anyway, milk sucks, and I avoid it like the plague.

CATS
If you're trying to make a point by saying that cats do drink cow's milk, it's only because that's the kind of milk we have in our fridges, and therefore give them to drink - I'm sure cat's milk would be their first preference...

Besides, have you ever seen a cat sucking a cow's udder? Exactly. ;)
 
I drink fat free milk. I just happen to like milk. Good or bad as people may think milk to be I don't think I will give it up. Today I bought soy milk to try it for the first time and absolutely love it. I don't know the benifits of soy milk, but it sure tasted damn good to me.

Does the fact that other animals are unable to control a large supply of external milk mean that if they had the means they would still choose not to do so.

We drink milk from other animals beacuse we can. We also grow vegtables and graze livestock. I dont see any other animals doing that either. Does that make us wrong in our food production. Hell if we took things back to nature and got rid of all our artificial objects we would have become extinct long ago.

I am slo impressed at your level of animal psychology and knowing that cats would prefer their own milk.;)

no, our progress in medicine and controlling disease is the main reason that we are still here and have such long life spans.

what we're doing with food production is what will ultimately kill us.

we also produce tobacco, does that make it healthy?

My point exactly - cat's can't physically drink milk from cows, they only do because we are nice enough to squeeze it out for them.

Anyway, I have no intention on starting any arguments, I was just trying to be smart :D
 
cheeky... :laugh:
 
i drink 2L of skim milk a day. I love milk, its good cold and refreshing n healthy
 
Isn't milk high in glutamine? ...not to mention those essential bovine growth hormones. :D
