Cow's milk is good food.
"But some people are lactose intolerant!"
Too bad for them.
"Saturated fat clogs arteries! You're gonna have a heart attack!"
It's far more complicated than that, and not nearly as big a concern as most people think.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with it as a food, like most other foods, but it’s not a health panacea as it was portrayed in milk advertising previously. Its main drawback for public health is that it is fairly calorically dense, so while it may be better for you than soda, for those looking to lose weight, milk should not be your primary beverage.
Also: the dairy industry is questionable at best, from an animal treatment standpoint, as well as environmental.
It's also got an unexpected amount of sugar in it, so people don't realize what it can do to a kid's teeth.
Very true, the same fact also makes it a bad choice for those with diabetes as well.
Preach!
Agreed, but people without toes should also be tolerated.

Uhh, the people saying saturated fats clog arteries are right. Which is why the American Heart Association recommends aiming to keep it under 6% of total calories, as well as seeking to replace saturated fats with sources of unsaturated fats.
You are absolutely on a path to heart attack if you don't reign in those kinds of foods.
No food stolen from the oppression of other beings can be good food. Cow's milk is for baby cows only.
I mean it's pretty tasty though
Your sensory pleasure really shouldn't be rated anywhere close to a beings wish to avoid suffering. Not going to respond to anything more you post because your first comment was basic troll bait and this conversation with openers like yours will go nowhere and make me angry.
It's so fun when people just run in, foist their personal choices on others then call them the troll.
You can not excuse harm to others as a personal choice. When there is a victim "personal choice" is irrelevant.
Yeah they were the ones that instigated.
All because someone said they like to drink milk, but I'm the troll?
