Do you still drink milk?

I drink skim milk. I have noticed that when I have a lot of milk and/or eggs I drop weight a little more easily.

I drink 2% fairly often and use it in cereal. The article said it's an adaptation found among dairy farmers and a few tribes that herd cattle. So good for me, I'm a mutant.

As for the animal rights activists, you bewilder me. What makes you think enough people will care enough about cows to change things when people are starving to death every day? If not enough care about starving children, there sure aren't going to be enough to care about baby cows. You can't change how people feel about animals until you change how they feel about each other. And good luck with that.

But we CAN change our own behavior. I'm a vegetarian and I do care about cows. But I'm not pushy about it. I figure the best I can do is change myself and if others ask my advice, advise them. But I don't shove it down anyone's throats (pun intended).

Yes I drink 1% or skim milk 2 or 3 times a day. Calcium + Vitamin D at the same time is a fat burner. Plus Milk has a ton of protein for muscles and calcium for your bones. So you get fat loss and muscle gain if you drink 1% or skim since there is no fat in it!!!

Fat doesn't make you fat (chronic high blood sugars and excessive insulin production which in turn create constant hunger and cellular starvation at the same time is what makes you fat) and you can get vitamin D from the sun and calcium from dark leafy greens. It actually has very little protein. I can have a couple of eggs and surpass the amount of protein in 8oz. of milk. It has as much sugar as a typical serving of sugary cereal (double whammy for the kids!). It's not a fat-burner.

You forgot to point out that there IS fat in 1% milk. What do you think "1%" means?

Yes. Organic whole milk, occasionally 2%.

Fair enough.

Its not just milk, most of our nutrition from meat, and especially veggies and fruits has decreased dramatically over the last 50 years! If you want to talk/share/ learn more friend me. I would like to learn what you have to share.

Speaking of food intolerance, fruit and veggies in large quantities tend to really screw with my digestive system. I drank grape juice most of the day yesterday, and I'll spare everyone the details of what it did to me, but it wasn't pretty.

I find a diet full of raw veggies makes me queasy (probably one reason I was skinny most of the years I was vegetarian).

I tried going back to being a vegetarian, and I got incredibly sick and lethargic within a matter of days.

Could it be that different people do well on different types of foods? Could it be I'm a natural born milk drinking carnivore?

Milk is for children under the age of 6. If you are older than that and drinking milk you should probably rethink that.

Pray tell... why?

^This. ???

Cows milk is for cows.

does that make me an almond? :laugh:

I'm not a big fan of milk - when I went vegan and gave up dairy I found I never had a taste for it again.
I love unsweetened almond milk now, fantastic replacement for milk.

Hahahaha! Thanks for the laugh.

I've always been one of those people that can't stand the smell and taste of milk. There's a great story about me puking all over the lunch table at the day care center when they made me drink milk. Besides the smell and taste, there's something about drinking another animal's mucus that freaks me out.

I started drinking rice milk in college and have switched to soy milk. It took a long time for me to get accustomed to the taste as well as the texture (it mimics milk) but now I'm pretty used to it.
