Milk contains pus?!

So after reading about cowsmilk containing pus molecules, particles or whatever you want to call it I truly find my self disgusted by milk now. I know that milk is pasteurized and everything but no thank you on my part. I tried drinking a glass last night and found myself pouring the rest of most of it down the drain. I have tried soy and almond....no rice yet. The taste of almond milk kinda turns me off but it's drinkable and soy is soy lol....I do find it a ill bit more enjoyable than almond though. Guess I would like to know y'all thoughts on cows milk and what you all prefer.

So that's why it's so delicious!0

You're surprised that the secretion of another animal has...you know, bodily secretions in it?
Well. Okay.
Me I love milk. I prefer whole milk and I like at least one but preferably 2 to 3 glasses a day. Nomnommilk0 -
You think there's none left in the meat you eat? Muscle tissue is well vascularized, it's bound to have at least a little bit left in there....0

I personally love rice milk
I was really scared to try it at first because I was so used to milk being thick. It certainly tastes like rice if you opt for the original. The vanilla was too sweet for me, so I drink original.
As far as dairy milk:
I drank it for years and years and years. I still use it in my oatmeal... and aside from an upset stomach/headache every time I had more than a glass or two every few days, it never hurt me so I'm not worried about whatever else is in it.0 -

So, you're saying animal products contain animal products? Egads, I'm glad I know now. Actually, I come from the "Dairy State" and my family are dairy farmers, so I'm quite familiar with how it's made, and confident that my dairy sources are safe and nutritious.
Seriously, though, plenty of folks eat dairy products, some don't. My mom drinks almond milk (casein/milk protein allergy) and likes it well enough, but I think it's awful and enjoy my cheese and yogurt instead. Whatever YOU prefer is perfect for YOU.:flowerforyou:0 -

Hmm. Ok. To you perhaps Vile to you is tasty to me! But I also like large chunks of putrid blue cheese so I wouldn't listen to me either.......... 0 -

But my children were breastfed and so they ingested all the white blood cells and immune complexes in my milk................ did I poison them?? what should I doooooooooooooooooooooooo???0 -

Wow, is this referring to population control? I'll have a glass of organic milk with ice - hold the pus please.0 -
Yep, pus count, disgusting isn't it? It's one of several things about dairy produce and production that finally made me decide to go dairy-free about three years ago after nine years as a milk and cheese consuming vegetarian. A family member works in the industry and admits most of the cows in his boss's dairy herd suffer regular bouts of mastitis through over-milking. And then there's the fate of all those small male calves, whether they're destroyed at just a few days old to be processed into pet food or used for veal. I know most have no problems with these facts but I personally will never eat dairy produce again.0

OP: if you're from Europe, the Masai people in Africa or any other population that's been doing dairy farming or herding for millenia, then chances are you'll be fine drinking milk. If you're from a population that was a hunter-gatherer population until recently, e.g. Native Australian, then chances are milk will make you ill. There are some exceptions to this, because of interbreeding, natural variation and because biology just likes to just mess with people's minds by nearly always having exceptions, but generally speaking, whether you can digest lactose or not depends on your ethnic origin. There may be other medical conditions that make drinking milk inadvisable. So if you can digest milk, it won't harm you. And the immune complexes in it are there to protect the baby cow from any illness that it's mother's immune to, at least until it's bigger (passive immunity doesn't last long but it does protect baby mammals from infection in their younger, most vulnerable years)0

Humans are the only species on earth that drinks the milk of another mammal. We are also the only species that continues to drink milk after being weaned off of mother's milk. Just sayin'.0

Okay...that's not how it really works. Your family's boss is a terrible farmer, or doesn't know what he's doing, it sounds like to me.0 -

Why are we the only species to cook our food...?0 -
could have gone my WHOLE life not knowing this….0

Because we're the only species intelligent enough to domesticate our food sources?0 -

And the only species that uses the internet? Or drives? Or (insert everything humans have evolved/been created to become)? I like being a highly intelligent, sentient being, don't we all? The point is, we are human, and we have choice and free will to consume or not anything we desire.
Is this a "human shaming" thread, now?0 -
Everything you eat is the rotting and decomposing flesh of another organism, everything. Accept this in your life and move on. I have no problem with choosing to abstain from certain foods for ethical reasons, but being grossed out by food that's perfectly healthy and has been consumed by people for hundreds to thousands of years is just silly.0

I never said I was ashamed to drink milk or cook food or (insert anything) 0

What are the PETA folks going to do when I prove conclusively that plants have feelings and are actually more intelligent than they are?0

If that was for me, I was just referring to the concept in general, not you.0 -

So you're saying that if I put out a saucer of cow's milk for my cat he won't drink it, right?
Did you even think about this before you typed it?0 -

Humans have evolved the ability to digest the milk of other mammals, not just once, but at least twice. This evolved separately in Europeans and in the Masai people in Africa... it evolved because these populations domesticated cattle, originally for meat but later on for milk and dairy... natural selection favoured those who could continue to digest milk into adulthood.
Humans ecological niche is our ability to use technology to extract food from our surroundings. Just as our australopithecine ancestors started to make and use stone tools, and early humans figured out how to control fire, neolithic humans figured out how to cultivate plants and domesticate animals and dairy farming is part of that. This is what humans do.
Also, all animals evolve to be able to eat the food that's available for their species - or they go extinct. No food ever grows to suit a particular animal. Animals evolve to be able to eat specific foods, and when the environment changes so different foods are available, then those that can digest the new foods survive and those that can't die, and what's left in the population is those that can digest it....... that's how evolution works....... and in the case of Europeans, Masai people and other dairy farming/herding populations, it's likely that people who could digest lactose better had a greater chance of surviving food shortages due to being able to eat a particular food (dairy) that not everyone in the population could tolerate... so lactase persistence genes remained in the population and lactose intolerance genes were lost from the populations....0 -
So that's why it's so delicious!

Nope. Milk. Putrid cheeses. Kimchi. Bring it on!0 -

^^^^ this
it's a reality of being part of the animal kingdom. No chloroplasts. Gotta eat other organisms instead.0
