The only thing milk is used for in our home is cooking, we probably consume about 1L per 5-6 weeks.
Two reasons: I chugged a glass of sour milk when I was about 7yrs old or so. Never went back. And the below: Quote:

Do you drink milk?
Not in 25 years...maybe more actually. I don’t drink tea or coffee. Once or twice I’ll have cereal with barely a splash of milk in it. I don’t know why but I find it totally unappetizing. If people like it drink up!

Stick with the cow milk. At worst it might make you a bit fatter. |

Female humans might lactate indefinately if you milked them. Just like cows. Stop milking the cow and she quits lactating. FWIW, I drink almost as much milk as Bas. So do many friends. No one seems to be intolerant. |

Not really to be honest but I do eat diary so not sure if that counts;-)
Maybe with cereal at times, but lately my wife and daughter has us on the other nut based stuff... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nice philosophical reply, but factually unsupported. Milk and honey were rich sources of nutrients in those times. People couldn’t digest grass and weeds, but they could survive easily on milk. Aboriginal people in Africa still consume milk as a subsistance staple. Promising a land rich in milk and honey was a promise of tangible reward, not an imagining of what could be.

Honey was probably crushed dates anyway. Bees were cultivated but dates were more common It wasn't literally flowing with anything, its mostly a desert after all and pretty harsh place to live as opposed to somewhere more northernly. At least by todays standards. I would be pretty mad at the marketing pitch. Livable sure, but not the best area of the time within the fertile crescent.

In Sweden and Finland 90% of all adults can drink milk, they still produce lactase. It is a good source of Vitamin D in the winter when the sunlight is too weak to make your skin produce it. But apparently it is also a good food source when starving. I read about it recently somewhere... |

Whole milk with my cereal. Otherwise, it's water, beer, and whiskey.

I'm not sure how you get from bees to crushed dates. Wild bees are common throughout the region. And dates were simply dates, not a metaphor for bee barf. Anyway, people have been drinking milk for thousands of years, whether for subsistence or the divine metaphor. It's only recently that some dudes have decided it's bad for you. |

Every morning with my museli & a glass with my dinner at night
The glass at night is a throwback to when I was growing up - my mum always said full of calcium for strong bones etc but the supermarket milk is probably not a patch of the farm delivered milk we got 40 odd years ago. I remember my dad used to leave empty yogurt pots out so the milkman would put on to stop the blue tits picking trough to get the cream |

One yogurt daily, and if I have cereal, I just mix in the yogurt. Maybe milk in bad coffee to take away the harshness. Otherwise, no cow milk for me.

You guys need to get away from the big cities and high end resorts, and out into the hinterlands. You will find that people can be happy and healthy without soy milk and almond butter. |

I drank a small glass of 2% recently, the first time in years. It felt like I ate a tub of cream cheese. I’ve had pints of IPA’s that were less filling. It would take some time and effort to get used to drinking milk again.
IPA’s I’m acclimated to... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Modern medicine has decided it's bad for some people. Regardless of history, where they live and what book they read.

No, coffee is good No, coffee is bad No, bitter alkaloids in coffee are good, but something else in it is bad... Milk is not good for some people, but is good for many people. My objection is the blanket dismissal in the name of modern science, when human experience says otherwise. |

Since my heart attack in 2009 I only drink Skim Plus. It’s fat free with very minimal cholesterol and tastes more like whole milk than anything else I’ve tried.
