Why are so many excluding milk from their diet?
Replies

250ml of milk contains 9g of sugar. Is this considered high??0

Drink it everyday. Usually only in cereal since I am only having 2k calories a day right now.0

Propaganda - for what cause? What do we get from actively excluding most commonly available foods from our diet? How does that personally benefit us? We only do it because morally and ethically, we can't ignore what is going on. Its not about us - its the animals and the planet.
The feeling of superiority.
That's what is in it for you because the anti-milk crowd certainly aren't in it for the logic.0 -

Did you actually *see* dairy cows? Or did you see a misleading propaganda piece?
Because I grew up around dairy cows. Dairy cows have to be the most pampered farm animals ever, perhaps second only to a lightly worked farm dog.
This.
The number of people that will watch on bit of bogus propaganda and then start proselytizing the masses like a born again is amazing. They buy it hook, line and sinker without being even slightly cynical of the source or its motives.0 -

Well I haven't seen any logic yet from the illogically antimilk crowd just "but so many people being lactose intolerant should tell you something", "cow milk is just for baby cows!, "ew, pus" and "but the animals are all so poorly treated!"
The only logical arguments that I've seen against drinking milk are due to personal preference or lactose intolerance.0 -

Out of curiosity, which documentary or buzzfeed type list was it that got you to start the battle cry against milk?0 -

So much false. I can't even see how she could come up with something like that. I mean, there's no way a statement such as, "well, WE don't consume animal products because WE can't ignore cruelty but if YOU have no morals, you go right ahead and do you."0 -

Sorry to interject in the vegan oneupmanship.
The sugar thing perplexes me no end. It has never crossed my mind to think about the sugar content of plain old milk.0 -

Please forgive me for not believing you. People don't tend to come up with those sorts of key word, illogical arguments without a starting point.
It's okay if you don't want to divulge that information. I understand that it would leave you vulnerable to people logically picking apart every phalacy your anti-milk source would undoubtedly be filled with.0 -

So this week, I've consumed and broken down more than 350 grams of the devil? At that rate of demonic destruction I should be nominated for sainthood!
Now I am off, to valiantly turn more devils into carbon dioxide and water. It's a rough job, but someone has to do it.0 -
I do drink milk but know many who don't consume any dairy because it causes inflammation, which can be a big problem for those with certain medical conditions. I try to limit dairy for this reason, but I allow myself a little.0

It tastes phenomenal.
Haha! Taste is subjective so each to their own.

It looks like you are judging someone else's decisions about their personal morality and ethics. Does this make you feel superior?0 -
what's good for the goose... :huh:0

Derp, woo and propaganda. That's what happened.
This sums it up nicely!0 -

It's true. A couple of weeks ago I had a day that was fuelled almost entirely by delicious sugary baked goods (think jam tart, neenish tart, jelly doughnut, some kind of sticky iced custard bun thing...) and the next day my weight was 66.6 kg. Number of the beast. That's proof, man.
Also, dairy is awesome (personal opinion, of course).0 -

Thanks for the natural history lesson. You're right, life is dirty. Maybe thinking about it too much would give you 'the permanent willies' (surely there's a medical antidote to that, some sort of 'reverse viagra'?) but I'm made of sterner stuff. Bacteria doesn't bother me. Some of the inhumane practices involved in meat/egg/dairy production do bother me, though. Enough to do something about it, e.g. not supporting it financially by consuming those products.
And yeah, I drink alcohol too, the sort which hasn't had egg, milk, gelatine or isinglass (dried fish swimbladders) used in it as finings. Alcohol helps me think less about things like the ignorance of people who try to justify animal cruelty by whatever means they think suits their particular purpose (e.g. taste, monetary profit).
Because as far as I'm concerned nothing justifies any kind of cruelty, whether inflicted on man or beast.
Cheers!
Well you are definitely a better person than me. And I'm pretty sure you are saying that you are hardier and smarter than me as well, but that's okay. I respect what you believe, and I don't necessarily disagree with your moral issues with how animals in industrial food production are handled. I do have issues with the superior attitude, blatantly untrue fear-mongering about things like pus, and inability to see any other side of the argument that always seems to accompany the "clean-eating" side of these arguments. It doesn't have to be that way. Have a great weekend

I applaud your ability to respond so diplomatically.0 -
Many of us are not able to digest cow milk protein (cow milk protein intolerance)....can be quite nasty. In my son, as an infant, it caused blistering all around the *kitten*. We only identified it when we actually tried soy cheese...which surprising to us contained casein. For my father, an endoscopy improved ridiculously when he cut out dairy...again CMPI.0
