DAIRY MAKES YOU FAT!?! OPINIONS??

Man is the only species on the planet that feels it is necessary to go against his own nature. Why is that?

We aren't going against it. We are going with our own real nature instead of what you thought was our nature.

She's an idiot!


If she isn't drinking or eating any dairy, I sure hope she isn't breast-feeding that kid. He might be malnourished!
(Was it a boy or girl? I have no idea.)

Agree with the first statement!

And when I breastfed, I didn't have dairy as it gave my baby gas.

I see there are some Vegans on here. Please don't start a war over what people eat or don't eat.

All food makes you fat. Should probably stop eating anything.

Haha! This!

Celebs do all sorts of diets, so I don't see why Megan Fox stopping eating dairy would make you want to follow that instead of any other weird celeb diet. If you cut out carbs you will lose weight, à la Atkins. Same for any food group.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of dairy. Just have a slice of cheese instead of the entire block.

I've lost around 60lbs and continued to have dairy, I'm just careful with how much I have.

I'd say Megan Fox's body is more to do with having a personal trainer work out with her every day. That's probably made easier by the fact she hired a night nurse to do the wake-ups for her baby. Personally I'd rather spend extra time with my baby and have the weight loss take a little bit longer! I was working out when both my babies turned 7 weeks, but I definitely didn't have someone getting up in the night for them!

Man is the only species on the planet that feels it is necessary to go against his own nature. Why is that?

Man is the only animal capable of determining its own "nature".

She meant arguing with ourselves over whether or not we should drink milk, unlike every other animal on the planet that drinks milk without arguing with itself first.

I don't believe that we should all quit dairy products because Megan Fox said something about it, but I have been on the fence about quitting dairy for a while.

Personally, I have cut back quite a bit on cheese and milk as it is, simply because of the calories in them. I went through about a half a gallon a day. Between my husband and I, that was a gallon. AND we're small people. We had no bad side effects - but we also only drink organic milk.

I cut back on the cheese because I simply feel better without it. If we have pizza or something else that's loaded with cheese, I find myself feeling weighed down and bloated the next day. I also have bathroom issues, which I'm assuming anybody does when consuming an inordinate amount of cheese. Using less cheese in the things I cook also cuts back on a lot of calories during the day.

I went from drinking 2% to 1% milk for calorie reduction. Unfortunately, I can't stand slim milk, or I'd get that instead. I'm now switching to water when this gallon runs out.

Oh, and it will sure help out my wallet to cut back on the milk. Where I live, it's more than 8 bucks a gallon. =(

If Megan Fox says it, it has to be true! Goodbye dairy!

Best response!

I get a little tired of all this 'don't eat this it makes you fat, don't eat that it makes you fat' 'our ancestors didn't eat this or that or the other and look at them'.

Ok. Lets look at them. Lets look at cavemen. Food was hard to come by, they foraged for everything. They hunted for their meat. They also frequently died of starvation. Their 'health' and 'thinness' wasn't some laudable thing, they didn't spend hours a day perfecting their physique, it was a result of scarcity and necessity. Do you want to live like that? Where malnourishment and starvation are no further then a twisted ankle away?

Lets move up a little bit. Greek times, Roman times, Ancient Egypt, Renaissance, Dark Ages. Pick a period. What do we see. Mostly agrarian societies. People spent a lot of time growing their own food, and they busted their tails to do so. They ate what they could get their hands on because yet again, starvation, malnourishment and death was just a bad season away, and if you didn't stock up enough to get through winter, well, say good bye to one of your children, or expect to come into the spring looking pretty damn scrawny. Pretty sure they didn't debate if dairy was healthy for them, or if carbs were good for them or not. They ate what they could get their hands on. Again, slimness through hard work and deprivation, poverty and necessity. Do you want to live like this?

Modern times. Poverty is still rampant. Many people still starve to death, because not only are they poor, all the land is now 'owned' by people richer then they are, so they can't even eke out a meager existence by growing their own food. Do you think the starving children in Africa would care if milk made them fat? Heck no! They'd be so happy they weren't starving to death they'd probably puke. Do you think they debate whether carbs are healthy, or meat is good or bad or ugly? No. They are starving.

So welcome to your first world problems, and thank your lucky stars you have the resources available to you to have these kinds of discussions and problems. I will say this. I do not believe that any natural food item is bad for you. Rice, beans, meat, vegetables, milk and dairy, nuts, fruits, grains. Eat them. Enjoy them. Work hard and move as much as you can. Use your freaking heads for once.
