Got Milk?

Real men drink real milk!
Most plant-based milks have lower amounts of protein than cow’s milk, with nearly a third also lacking calcium and vitamin D compared with the dairy option. Abigail Johnson at the University of Minnesota and her colleagues analysed 237 milk alternative products made from almonds, oats, rice and soya beans. They then compared these milks’ protein, calcium and vitamin D levels to those of cow’s milk. The researchers found that just 19 per cent of the plant-based milks matched or exceeded cow’s milk when it came to protein, with calcium and vitamin D also lacking in the milk alternatives that weren’t fortified with these nutrients.

Philosophically, I have a problem with drinking a glandular secretion from a non-human species but we've been doing it for tens of thousands of years so I guess I'm just being picky.

If you're lactose intolerant, you drink what's available.

And probably the only animal that drinks another animal's milk.

Lactose intolerance, like asthma is getting more common, and that ain't natural. When I was a kid, there was only one person in the school who had asthma. Now, it's so common that it's a feature of many movies and TV shows, and that ain't natural.

When I've run out of milk, I've eaten the cereal dry.

My 18 year old cat will finish my cereal if I leave a little milk in the bowl.
He also likes ice cream, but waits for it to melt down a bit.
I drink about 8 liters/week.

When I was a kid, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were a standard feature in the cafeteria. We wrote an editorial about them when they raised the price to $0.25. I didn't know anyone with peanut allergies.
Maybe the kids that had allergies just died young.
