    I like lactose (at least I have no reason not to) and I like the protein, so I prefer dairy (cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.), although I don't have milk of any sort much just because I don't tend to like to drink calories.

    I don't typically drink milk, just use it in things. I like almond milk bc it's a little sweet (I don't get unsweetened) and is lower calories. I use it in my oatmeal. I like it better than when I make it with cows milk.

    I prefer almond milk (unsweetened vanilla silk is very yummy and only 35 calories and barely any fat or sugar). Milk kinda grosses me out and makes me feel ill. Not a huge believer in milk, but you can get loads of calcium in almond milk. If you're worried about protein, a cup of peas for example has about the same amount of protein as milk and is much better for you IMO...theres a lot of added hormones and pus cells (or so it's rumoured) in most of the cows milk at the grocery store. At the very least if you drink milk try organic?
