The Kansas City Royals aren't named after kings and queens.

They're named after a national stock show.

I always thought it was a nod to the KC Monarchs

I'm sure that helped with the decision, but they're named after the American Royal, the nation's biggest stock show held in the Kansas City area every year.

From Wikipedia: History of the Kansas City Royals

Pharmaceutical executive Ewing Kauffman won the bidding for the new Kansas City team. He conducted a contest to determine the best and most appropriate name for the new franchise. Sanford Porte from Overland Park, Kansas submitted the name Royals, in recognition of Missouri's billion-dollar livestock industry. His suggestion was that the American Royal best exemplified Kansas City through its pageantry and parade, so the new team should be named the Royals. The name was selected out of 17,000 submissions and the Royals Board voted 6–1 to adopt the name. The one dissenting vote was Mr Kauffman's. He eventually changed his mind after the name grew on him. (Some sources say it was in honor of the Kansas City Monarchs, a Negro League team.)[2] The team's logo, a crown atop a shield with the letters "KC" inside the shield, was created by Shannon Manning, an artist at Hallmark Cards, based in Kansas City.[3]

Adults shouldn't be drinking milk?

I honestly never knew this was a thing. "Milk shaming".

Apparently milk for adults isn't as good or needed as you think.

It's not gonna change anything for me, but I was actually told I was weird for drinking milk, and I googled it and found out many share that opinion.

As a health teacher and major, yes it is weird to drink milk past infancy, lol.

I mean, drink on!

After two years of age, the human body reduces the amount of lactase it produces. Drinking cow's milk is actually super not natural and can lead to people developing food allergies later in life.

And animal milk is actually very acidic. It's not great for your bones because it throws off your pH levels (which actually PULLS calcium from your bones).

Whoever said animal milk is good for your bones or growth wasn't correct.

Milk has 50+ hormones within it, many of which your body doesn't need/use.

Cows are injected with recombinant bovine growth hormone, which CAN cause cancer cells to form.

Uhhhh, what else. Oh, yeah. You are drinking a ton of pus. So that's just gross.

Hey grasshoppers are actually tasty! Lol.

High protein and Vitamin A, B and C.

They are richer in protein than milk I even think, lmao.

At this point, I'm just in "I'll die when I die" mode.

Sounds like nothing is good for you eventually.

Milk, bread, juice, salads, rice, pasta, you name it. Everything seems to be deemed "not as healthy as you think".

yep. spinach, beets, avocado, I get sick to the stomach just thinking about 'em. and forget about exercise too, you go to the gym today, you're asking for it. probably about the safest thing you can do is find your happy place and curl up in a fetal position and wait for the end of the world. except the fetal position makes you want milk. which puts you right back where you started.

Don't forget kale, whole wheat, quinoa, nuts amd so on.

Even "healthier" options like tofu, plant based foods and so on aren't so healthy either.

So let's just sit around drinking water eating kale and spinach salads. Although no tomatoes in the salad because its acidic and that's not good either, and no salad dressing either. So water and leaves and that's about it.

Depends on what kind of water, too...

Mineral water, but can't be from plastic bottles, plastic isn't good. Even the fridges with water and a filter probably have negatives about it too.
