    it is high in fat but if you stick to a portion, it is good.

    What if I drink skim milk?

    You'll get Diet Cancer of the AIDS...or something.

    Yeah. And full-blown Aids, not just diet-HIV. Proper Aids.

    What does it even mean to claim that milk is not MEANT for us. If we are able to be nourished by it (and many of us have the genes that allow that), how is it not meant for us in a way that other animals or animal products or plants we eat (like, say, cows themselves or chickens or deer or eggs or almonds or broccoli or bananas are)? This way of looking at it just makes no sense to me. If nothing else it presupposes intelligent design, which is a religious POV, but then doesn't finish out the argument.

    Thanks for pointing that out. You've got it exactly right. To say we are not "meant" to do something is an explicitly religious argument. But these statements are always made implicitly and don't consider what else we are meant or not meant to do.

    I'm totally on board with religious arguments, by the way, but I think they should be made honestly. From my point of view, "milk and honey" are good things. ;)

    Someone needs to kick Dairy right in the mammaries. I almost said testicles, but since that's not where dairy comes from...

    I can't stand milk. Doesn't matter if it's white if it's chocolate if it's skim low-fat whatever. I might could have like about 2 tablespoons of 2% milk with cereal but that's not often. Cheese. That's my serious serious dairy. I love cheese. Sam's had a colby jack habanero cheese as hot as hell but so good. I haven't suffered from not having milk. My I am 64 years old and my bones are just fine. I go where I want. When I want.. Steps going up if I have to do a lot of well it hurts my face but no other problems as far as I can tell. As far as long term goes I don't really care cuz I hope I don't live to be no 100 years old.

    I like it when people say those things. It makes it easier to weed out those that are incapable of critical thinking.

    I'd say good in moderation, "enough" is good for you. Chowing down on a whole slab of cheese isn't the best idea though.

    I mean is it really natural for human beings to drink the milk of another animal? Cows milk is designed for calves
