She asked why, I answered. She's free to hold any opinion she wishes.

Fairly conservative political parties enact nanniest policies all the time. The party doesn't matter.

Please forgive me for not believing you. People don't tend to come up with those sorts of key word, illogical arguments without a starting point. It's okay if you don't want to divulge that information. I understand that it would leave you vulnerable to people logically picking apart every phalacy your anti-milk source…

Out of curiosity, which documentary or buzzfeed type list was it that got you to start the battle cry against milk?

Well I haven't seen any logic yet from the illogically antimilk crowd just "but so many people being lactose intolerant should tell you something", "cow milk is just for baby cows!, "ew, pus" and "but the animals are all so poorly treated!" The only logical arguments that I've seen against drinking milk are due to personal…

This. The number of people that will watch on bit of bogus propaganda and then start proselytizing the masses like a born again is amazing. They buy it hook, line and sinker without being even slightly cynical of the source or its motives.

The feeling of superiority. That's what is in it for you because the anti-milk crowd certainly aren't in it for the logic.

It works in countries where poverty is the law of the land. I guess it would work if it were imposed by governments. After all, people are so incompetent that they need someone to do it for them, doesn't matter if some people have proven they can exist in a society with abundant, cheap food. Those people are just going to…

Are you incapable of teaching your children good habits? Since you're so pleased with the legislation, I'm guessing you're not and are pleased that now someone can do your job for you. I guess we all have our own parenting styles. I'll keep teaching mine and others will expect the government to do it for them.

Sure, if they were doing something that would actually have an effect instead of feel good, bandaid but ultimately useless legislation. Let's not learn to live in this new world where food is plentiful, instead lets just toss a bandaid in it by ruling out only one of the thousands of things that cause people to become…

With so many in this thread STRONGLY supporting this tax for various apples to oranges reasons, I really don't think it would. Some people want other people to tell them how to live.

Well, you weren't being very supportive of other people's journeys in this support forum by telling people that thier negative posts about themselves are contagious.

They should just make food scarce. That's how populations stayed thin in the past. Oh, they should tax people until they have very little money too. That has also always helped in the past. Problem solved: make food scarce and difficult to afford

I recommend any tea flavor that you like because the tea is not causing weight loss, your calorie deficit is. That thing you heard about green tea once from a friend or a buzzfeed type list simply isn't true.

Those things you heard are the baseless ravings of paranoids and conspiracy nuts. There is zero science that supports these assertions.

This. OP, why don't you stay focused on yourself. I recommend not attempting to police the feelings of others. Other people are allowed to think things about themselves without worrying if how they express those feelings might in some way affect someone that has no business passing judgement on another's self expression.…

You know how I know you've never been to a dairy operation? Or know anything about the care of dairy cows? Fun fact: You mistreat a dairy cow and they'll stop producing milk or the milk will taste off due to the stress hormones affecting the taste. Dairy cattle are routinely some of the most pampered agricultural animals.…

Goats are magical. I guess stealing milk from this kids is okay but from calves is evil and gross? I don't understand the lack of consistency.

I use my mouth. 60% of the time it works everytime. As far as counting the ounces? I'm no help on that front, I just drink.

What do you think calves drink? Because what you think they drink is not what they actually drink. Hint: What they actually drink is pretty obvious.

It's disgusting to you. Baby cows are not the only ones that should be drinking it.

Because different subgroups of people evolved different physiological characteristics in different environments. When you see someone with different skin color from your own, what's the first question you ask yourself? Seems obvious to me but I guess some of the anti milk crowd don't really grasp what's obvious.

I lost the majority of my weight when my main fitness activity was walking. I've lost 52 lbs since 2012. The walking was just to keep me active and was only a minor contributing factor to my weight loss. The major factor was my close attention to and honesty with my calorie intake that led to my current success.

I hate it when they make fast food out of fake food.

I love it too! Mmmm Big Mac, you've been a good friend.

A very long time at a deficit with exercise after an even longer time spent looking for quick fixes (I purchased plenty of my own snake oil in my teens and twenties). A very long time with the deficit because I take breaks and I'm not always on point with everything but the trend over time has been a decease in weight…

Yup! A lot of positively excellent information.

Why? It can be occasionally fit into both calorie and macro goals. There's nothing inherently unhealthy about it. The only unhealthy problem with fast food is a person's inability to moderate and plan, which can be applied to any food. In those cases, the unhealthy part lies with the person and not the food.

Snake oil.

Breathing is important for life. Changing your breathing will not affect your deficit unless you stop breathing and pass out. Then your activity level will drop resulting in fewer calories burned. Also, proper breathing is important for heavy lifting in order to prevent excess internal body pressure that can lead to some…
