Re: Am I the Only One On the Planet That...

My doctor told me humans are the only animals that drink milk after they grow up beyond an infant. Our bodies are not equipped to process milk once we get older which is why a lot of people have stomach issues when they drink milk as adults.

Just to piggyback this, humans are not only the only species on the planet that consumes milk after the stage of infancy but are also the only species that drinks the milk of a different species at ANY stage of life. Point blank: the only milk we are "supposed" to consume is that of our mother's and only during infancy. Anything beyond that is overkill.

I use soy or almond milk (both are dairy free) on my cereal and I use chocolate soy milk (also dairy free) in my protein shakes. The only time I ever consume dairy milk is when I treat myself to a scoop or two of ice cream and that is a rarity.

More cookies.

Seems rather arbitrary since the age of the milk you buy would vary with each jug.

I don't follow you..?

I throw the milk out after 3 days. Buy new milk my next time grocery shopping.

Rinse. Repeat.

The milks already 3 days old whenever you buy it.

That's the point he's getting at.

Milk on its own is not something I do, unless I chug a couple of cups for quick heartburn relief.

Obviously in cereal.

I haven't had milk in a year or so. Trying to get healthier, so I drink almond milk now.

Milk is fantastic.

My friend and I would always get a jug of chocolate milk after football practice and down it.

Never once did it come back up.

I actually find most of that store bought chocolate milk to thick/rich for my taste.

That seems rather wasteful. Why size cartons/jugs do you get? When I buy milk I always look for jugs with a sell by date at least 10 days after the current date, though my mom always told me that it would still be good for about another 10 days after that.

The smallest size available.

I just look at the date and sometimes even if it's expired by a day or so It's still good.

I'm with you. I can't stand milk - cold or warm. And generally, I don't like drinks that aren't transparent/semi-transparent - as I never too sure what I might find in there at the bottom of the glass...

I don't drink any kind of coffee, or any other drink with milk. I eat lots of cheese, if that makes up for it...I hope.

My wife used to buy organic milk in Alaska that the sell by date was always at least a month later after buying it.

Milk is disgusting unless its in cereal or dipping cookies in it.

Organic milk undergoes a different type of preservation process that kills all the bacteria where pasteurization does not.
