Obviously you have read any of the other posts in this thread, which is a shame.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?
They will probably start researching into genetic engineering to see if they can get their skin cells to have chloroplasts so they can try to photosynthesise.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'.
Let's assume this is true (it isn't)-- so what?0 -

Obviously you want my attention...I read them all and have found some of them pretty interesting. Is there anything else you would like to say to me?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.
^^^^ this
it's a reality of being part of the animal kingdom. No chloroplasts. Gotta eat other organisms instead.
Or a fungus, but we don't have cell walls.....0 -

Not so. Feral cats and gulls looove elephant seal milk straight from the teat.0 -
There is a lot of stuff in milk, both naturally and due to dairy companies, that we should not be consuming. For example, there is often puss in milk because the machines used to milk cause cause their udders to be chapped and become infected. Do some research of your own and come to your own conclusions. Don't feel bad when people get snarky :flowerforyou:0

Not to be horrid here but if Milk freaks you out cause of it's contents don't go near yogurt, cheese....any diary products. After growing up in a farming village i would pretty much just avoid most food unless it's processed up the nines cause it all has something in it. Also sausages, pork pies, burgers....you don't even want to ask what goes into those. Yeah it might say 100% meat but that meat isn't always what you THINK it is0

People are sooo condescending and sarcastic on here.

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.
Thank you for staying on topic. Rice milk is next on my list of foods to try! Thanx0 -
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.
Well I am a sucker for cheese though...Guess the fact didn't gross me out too much. But to have a glass of pus killed my taste for milk. 0 -

Almond and coconut milk are quite nice in hot drinks, same with soy0

Your OP said you got grossed out learning there was pus in cows milk, then asked for other's thoughts on cows milk, but because some of us responded implying that we weren't grossed out by it and there's no good reason not to drink it if you like it, we're off topic? Am I following this correctly?0 -
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....

you asked for people's thoughts on cow's milk, and this person gave you their thoughts on what you said about pus in cow's milk, i.e. that it's no different to meat in that respect. Why is that wrong?0 -

I believe current research already supports your first statement, and may go quite well in the direction of supporting your second statement. When the PETA people believe that, who knows!0 -

Nothing at all. I didn't have anything to say about that person's post until that person had something to say to me about thanking a different member for their input. Anyway what's your input on milk if any?0 -

In any case, OP, the more you learn, the more disgusted you'll be. Bugs in our food, put there on purpose, no less, and bug secretions (look up Carmine and Shellac) not to mention what gets there during processing. It's foul.0 -

I posted several times in the thread already, mostly with an evolutionary perspective on milk drinking and adaptation to new foods generally.

A lot of cultures eat bugs... wait for it... on purpose!
ETA: The point is, a personal gross out factor does not mean something isn't a viable and nutritious source of food.0 -
If you don't care for almond milk (make sure to try unsweetened as well as it is much more mild), you may also want to try coconut milk or a blend. But just remember, it is so much better for you than milk in how digestible it is and also how much calcium it hold without the acidity. Personally, I have a dairy sensitivity although I am not lactose and tolerant. Either way, in the end almond/coconut/soy/hempseed milk is great for you and just take some time to experiment :flowerforyou:0

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.
It absolutely does! And it can only have so much pus and bacteria in it. . . so if one batch has too much, they mix it with another batch that has a lot less. . . so it evens out! Whoo!!
Knowing this, I am not deterred. I will keep on drinking milk.0
