It's MFP so either one extreme or the other. Either milk is poison or it's nectar of the gods.
And it's either eating no meat at all or eating nothing but meat. There is no other position.
Choose wisely. One side has ice cream...
...and steak.
If one side is no meat and the other meat-only, neither side have both ice cream (not meat) and steak (meat).
Different binaries for different topics. These were just two popular ones.
Another is IIFYM means eating nothing but junk food all the time, no thanks, I actually care about the quality of my food.0 -

Ice cream is meat juice frozen.

For me, if a product is making so many people sick, I sure don't want to include it in my nutrition plan. Here is some interesting information, from a vegan perspective on dairy products in general:
Note: This is in no way intended to push any agenda or make it seem like one plan is better/worse than another. It's just some interesting information.
There is a common misperception that the only way to get adequate calcium in your diet is to drink milk and eat dairy products. This may be what the dairy industry wants us to believe, but it is well established that plant-based foods are not only adequate sources of dietary calcium but are superior sources compared to animal sources, specifically dairy. The regular consumption of dairy and meat products together results in urinary losses of calcium, as calcium is released from the bones to neutralize the acid load in the bloodstream caused by eating animal protein. This likely creates a negative balance of calcium intake and loss. As we know, prolonged negative calcium balances could result in the development of osteoporosis for which a person would be given meds and probably told to consume more dairy which would perpetuate the problem and so on and so forth. Congress, pharmaceuticals and lobbyists at their finest. But meanwhile, if meats, dairy and fish are eliminated from the diet in place of plant-based foods, the body's need to neutralize acid in the blood stream disappears hence the body's need for overall calcium intake could be reduced.
Technically, being lactose intolerant is the default state. Mammals are born with the ability to digest lactose in order to be able to breastfeed and lose it as they get older.
So, the correct question would be, why are there so many people who are not lactose intolerant?
We evolved ourselves towards it. When we started domesticating cows we started drinking their milk too because for once we didn't have to hunt and kill animals to get close to them. Some people got sick of it, others didn't or to a lesser extent. The ones who got sick were more likely to die and the rest is biology.
If you look at a map of lactose intolerance, it's most prevalent in the places where domestication of cows didn't happen and much lower in the places where it did. Mostly Europe and places mostly inhabited by people of European descent.

Hmm, not sure if being extracted from an animal is the same as being extracted from meat, but let's just say it is for now. And not sure being extracted from meat means that it is meat or meat juice, but let's just say it is for now.
It's still not "meat-only", right? If it's only the meat juice, it would be milk.0 -

I've been thinking of this radio play for the last 3 pages. I'm glad someone brought it up.0 -
ok i have read all 15 pages. Some posts were funny as hell, some were annoying. IMO I drink milk. I love it and always have. I can drink a gallon a day if I could and not gain weight. Hell, I could pretty much drink milk and consume nothing else and be happy but that would be ridiculous and probably weird. lol. So for dieting purposes I like to cut it out most day, that days I know if I have one glass it will lead into 10, and drink 1 or 2 glasses on days I have more self control.0

skim milk tastes like sadness.
ROFL! I only drink skim. I have been told that I am drinking flavoured water, but I'm okay with that. ;-) I am not a fan of milk in general, so maybe that's why skim is more appealing to me - it has less milk taste. Ha ha. It also makes a mean cappuccino foam. And since I prefer to eat my calories - not drink them - it works well for me. But to each his/her own. Skim milk tastes like sadness to you, but to me, it is my morning joy.

Same here. I grew up on skim, higher fat tastes gross to me (too thick!), and I prefer to eat my calories. My milk in my cappuccino is a joyful morning ritual. It is a small part of my day, but a BIG part of my morning.0 -

Actually, I excluded ice cream from the meat only diet.
I don't personally know any fruitarians, but I would guess they could include fruit juice.0
