[quote=Anonymous][quote]Anonymous wrote: How much milk are they drinking? Only little kids drink milk in my family. Once you hit upper elementary school you get water with meals. Milk is only used for cereal (eaten maybe once a month) and recipes. We use whole milk. They drink a fair bit. Between the two of them they likely drink 6 litres a week. A lot of that is taken with cereal. Why wouldn't they drink milk?[/quote] Because there are better ways to get the major nutrients in milk. Calcium and protein are the big reasons that people think milk is important. If they are drinking 6 litres per week, that is about 3900 calories. That is a lot of calories and a lot of liquid volume for the amount of calcium and protein it gets you. For example, spinach, broccoli, and other vegetable contain significant amounts of calcium and are less caloric and less volume than milk. [/quote]
