I’m referring to the person who said one of her kids drinks a gallon of milk a day by himself. |
A parent "needing" 7 gallons of milk per-week for an adult son is unreasonable under normal conditions. During the scarcity conditions you mention - empty shelf compressed timeline - this is absurd. I think under scarcity conditions it would qualify as absurd if this adult was fulfilling his own gallon-a-day milk quota. But I don't think this is harming anyone, unless people need milk per guidance from a pediatrician/doctor, and there are scarcity conditions. |
Why are they drinking that much milk? |
Believe it or not, there are kids who do, and as poster above said teen boys |
Do they just like the taste of milk because it has no real nutritional benefits at that age? |
It has calcium, vitamin D and protein. |
DP. Milk is very healthy … |
LIES!!! |
+1 |
| We use organic powdered milk. No one in my house over the age of 2 drinks cow's milk. |
The quantity of milk discussed for 1 teen - a gallon skim per day - is excessive and unnecessary as a nutritional matter. This assumes you have access to other sources of macro-nutrients and vitamins (bread, eggs, rice, beans, vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, yogurt, oats, seeds, cheese, berries, potatoes, leans meats, tofu, etc...). |
+1 whey powder here. We think it tastes better but that's subjective. Compared to liquid milk, whey is higher quality protein, it's cheaper, easier to transport, easier to store, lasts longer, no sugar, lower fat content, lower calorie, rapid absorption (if muscle building is important), etc.... |
"Whey protein powder is a highly concentrated, processed byproduct of cheese-making, generally classified as a processed or ultra-processed food due to the industrial techniques used to isolate the protein. While it offers high-quality protein, it is often treated with fillers, sweeteners, and artificial ingredients." |
For baby cows. |
If you don’t want treated, dont get treated. |
