Why are so many excluding milk from their diet?

Yep. That's what I got too... I still want to know for those who won't drink milk because it's meant for baby cows, if they have eliminated butter, cheese, ice cream, etc. as well.
Many who say that are ethical vegans so they'll have eliminated all meat, egg and dairy products from their diet; plenty of tasty alternatives available to all the foods you mention. The reason they say milk's 'meant for baby cows' is because that's its primary natural purpose ... cows must give birth before they produce the milk naturally intended for their calf. The calves are then separated from their mothers so the milk can used by people instead.0 -

Milk has pus, except it doesn't.
Pus is only gross until you pasteurize it.
And goat pus isn't gross.
But it's probably gros.0 -

Seems pretty cost effective for the nutrient density.
$3.50 for 1L of cows milk. $3.90 for 1L of Almond milk

1L= 33 ounces or .26 Gallons, if my converter is correct0

People make changes in their diets due to cost too.
Seriously overstating the calorie content. Fat Free milk has 80-90 calories per 8oz serving, but offers up 8g of protein.
Right on about so many people having issues digesting lactose, though. Also, milk has a fairly high carb/sugar count due to the lactose -- which can cause insulin spiking, as well.
Fat free milk is white water. And it's disgusting0 -

Depends which one you use. I drink.. The complete dairy high protein milk which is $3.50 for 1L at Foodland, will be switching to Woolies tho which sells it for 2.99.

We're pretty lucky. We have 2 supercenter type stores, 2 large full service chain grocery stores, a Fresh Market, Sam's Club and an Aldi's within 3/4 of a mile of each other in the area where we shop. Tends to keep prices down, like the $1.18 a gallon.0 -
I've never liked the taste of cow's milk.
I use cream in my coffee and almond or coconut milk in smoothies, etc.
I also eat cheese, cream cheese and occasionally yogurt or ice cream.0 -
8 bucks a gallon for whole raw milk. 3.99 for a liter of Fairlife. (I think it's a liter).0

I don't get it I love milk sometimes I just drink a glass for protein and also to help gain extra calories if I'm really low by the end of the day0

The calories arent that high for milk. 130cals for 250ml of light milk. I rarely drink a plain glass of milk, for which I'd prefer the full fat version, but lite tastes fine to me in tea, coffee or smoothies0
