"My family has a theory about milk...we do NOT drink the stuff" ????

I think that we grew up with a false notion about milk being so nutritious and so great for you. The dairy lobby was powerful and milk earned prime placement on nutrition charts. Propaganda. I still see the influence on my kids’ grandparents, who continue to insist that the kids have milk with dinner. I’m fine with them having water to drink.

What is wrong with coconut milk and coconut oil?

My child doesn't like milk either and we never force it upon them. They'll have it with cereal or ice cream but never as a drink. The pediatricians in America constantly ask us if they are eating dairy several times a day and that we really need to.

How is it that a whole continent survives without drinking milk and do not have calcium deficiencies, but in America if we don't then we will??

Lactase persistence (the ability to digest milk into adulthood) developed fairly recently (4000 years ago) in Russia. That’s why Europeans and their descendents in America drink milk. Having the option to get fat, protein and calcium from milk as adults was a hugely advantageous mutation, especially since the animals that provided the milk also provided meat, clothing, tools and fuel, and all they needed was grass.

That’s why it became common.

If you don't want to do that, don't drink cows milk.

Um, have you ever actually spent any time around dairy cows? The purpose of a dairy cow is to produce milk for humans. It’s not like they exist in nature. If dairy cows aren’t milked, they experience a lot of pain, get sick and develop mastitis.

Also, cows add the majority of their weight from grazing or in a feedlot.

There is nothing about your post that’s right.

Well, now I learnt everything! Dairy cows purpose? I suppose in the wild they just keep feeding any mammal that will milk them? You know because mastitis?! Those poor wild cows that aren't milked to save them!

I'm not the PP, but you cannot honestly not understand that milk (all milk, including dairy milk) contain white blood cells aka "pus".

I know this board is full of liberal arts types and very few scientists but man... you really should understand at least a little something about the world you live in.

It's a vegan talking point, that cow milk contains pus. Because the cows all have mastitis and are pouring pus and blood into their milk. It's false. Sick cows are separated and their milk is dumped. All milk is tested and milk with pus or blood is dumped.

Wild dairy cows? Oh my god.. I just can’t. You get that dairy cows were created by humans through thousands of years of selective breeding,right? There is no such thing as wild dairy cow. That may be the stupidest thing I’ve read on DCUM.
