Whole, 2%, 1%, skim or from the BREAS... .

“errr i mean BEST dairy you can find.

JEEZzzz. Relax Matt, it was a mistake”

“I think that whole is the best for you.”

“i dont drint milk


i drink soy or rice milk(prefer the rice milk)”

“I drink skim milk. Like whole milk, but I'll be 30 in a few months, and need to start watching my diet/fat intake. I still have a high metabolism, but have noticed it's not like when I was 20!”

“all i got to say is...

Im not donating any *cough* milk”

“I drink about a half gallon of 2% every day. Most people keep a frosty mug in the freezer for a beer well I keep a big frosty glass in the freezer for my milk!”

“I'm a 1% guy... grew up on non-fat! BLECH! just say no to blue milk!”

“what's blue milk?”

“its what you get from smurfs”

“I'm with Donman”

“If It Doesn't Have Ghirardelli Cocoa and Ground Chocolate In It, You Can Feed It To The HOGS!!!

LOL”

“tilt...i think i love you...


CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“My guitar case has all these funny stickers on it... Ghirardelli, Lindt, Godiva, Droste, Hershey's, Tobler, ...

"Give me chocolate, or give me death!" (by god!)

I just found out that Godiva is being produced by Pepperidge Farm in a 'light industrial park' across the Savannah River in South Carolina (aka 'Soccer Liner'), AND... they sell bags of broken pieces for Pennies a Pound on Saturday mornings at 7 AM...

I gotta investigate this Further!”

“non-fat milk looks blue if you poor it on cereal... it is dusgusting crap! And thank you Sass!”

“heh, growing up we had to shake the milk before we used it to get the milkfat mixed back in. got it straight from the cow. that was whole milk. i drink 2% now because my wife doesn't want to grow old alone. she drinks no-fat, and i will use it on cereal if there is no 2%.”

“I'ma skim dranker.”

“Skim all the way! I actually prefer the taste of skim. Whole is just to thick and creamy for me.

Contrary to popular belief, skim has just as many vitamins and calcium in it as whole milk.

I also use egg beaters!”

“Skim milk is actually better for you because there is more milk in 8 ounces of skim milk than there is in 1%, 2% or whole. How can that be? If you have a gallon of whole milk and you remove the fat you end up with less than a gallon of milk. How do you make it a gallon again? You add more milk, therefore ounce for ounce skim milk contains more calcium and protein then other forms of milk”

“I drink skim cuz that's what the wife makes me drink. For some reason, she wants me around for a few more years.

Yup, she loves me again. Might be that romantic dinner I cooked for her last Friday.”

“I drink Whole milk, 'cause that is what Newergirl is on right now. I would prefer to drink organic milk, but it is more expensive and hard to find. When I was growing up, I was just like Baume. We got it straight out the cow. Pretty good and we got it from a farm family that was down w/ the whole organic movement, before there was an organic movement. It was good, pure stuff.”

“soy milk! soy milk! soy milk! actually, we can get organic milk from Safeway around here, Safeway brand, no less! purty kewl, n'est-ce pas?”

“RICE MILK AND SOY!!!!
WOHOO!”

“Here in MT, I have to drive to the BIG city to find any organic milk (whatever happened to that farm family) and then it is too expensive for me. I have a very strict grocery budget.”

“I used to milk four cows, twice a day. I hated that, but I love the milk!!!

Fresh butter, whipped-cream on berries, thick, rich cream on Wheaties for me Please!

I like it real, none of that skimpy stuff for me, besides, who wants to live forever? It`s just those last 7 years of your life you`re gonna miss. Ever seen those folks tied into a chair so they don`t fall out? More cream for me please, you can have those extra years if you wish!LOL”

“I had some funky allergy to milk growing up or maybe it was just the taste but I always had to mix some flavoring into it. Even on cereal. I still prefer chocolate to white milk and strawberry flavoring makes me queasy.

I normally purchase whole milk, just for the fat and the fact that it tastes better then any 2% or less. I can't stand that watered down stuff, its like white wash. Most of my dairy intake comes in the form of ice cream and cheeses. HMMMMMM ICE CREAM!!!

Spam if I drank as much as you I don't think I would ever leave the bathroom.”

“Skim milk. I was raised on 2% but started drinking skim when I was expecting. I didn't want to gain excess fat while I was pregnant. Been drinking it ever since.”

“i hate the taste of milk too, mr. Rabbit...i can't drink it on its own, even with flavoring in it! icky.

ice cream on the other hand...yum-o-rama! :-)”

“Gawd, the strawberry stuff. I'll retch to that! (as a child, I was a consumate Nestle's Quik junkie --- sometimes I'd forget the milk)

ICE CREAM! NOW you're talkin'! Haagen Dazs? Godiva? What? Pecan Caramel Truffel?

*VBG*”

“Goat milk is much healthier and more easily digested than cow's milk. Goat's are less likely to be fed BGH. It is easier to find organic goat milk than organic cow's milk.”

“Saw this on a bumper sticker...

"Drink Goat's Milk -- Feel Like A Kid Again!"”

“Everyone thinks they are so damn funny, but you come across as a bunch of lame asses!

I wish this board actually had some gear related threads instead of bull #&%!$!”

“Buttermilk for me.”

“Yeah, tarp, we need some more gangsta rap. Care to provide some? Maybe a gangsta rap about gear!”

“PUS, BLOOD, ANTIBIOTICS, AND CARCINOGENS DO A BODY GOOD!


That supposedly hip MILK MUSTACHE is actually a creamy layer of MUCUS, LIVE BACTERIA, AND PUS.

Dairy products are a health hazard. They contain no fiber or complex carbohydrates and are laden with SATURATED FAT AND CHOLESTEROL. They are contaminated with cow's blood and pus and are frequently contaminated with PESTICIDES, HORMONES, AND ANTIBIOTICS. Dairy products are linked to allergies, constipation, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

NO OTHER ANIMAL DRINKS COW'S MILK, not even calves once they are weaned.

Sixty percent of ear infections in kids under six years of age are milk-induced, and milk consumption is the number one cause of iron-deficiency anemia in infants today according to the American Association of Pediatrics.

The DAIRY LOBBY PERPETRATES LIES to ensure its profits. It benefits directly from the exaggerated support prices the government shells out for this "health food." The government pays over a billion dollars a year for surplus butter. A General Accounting Office (GAO) study concluded that a reduction in the government price support system would have netted consumers savings of $10.4 billion from 1986 to 2001. And the USDA pays inflated prices to purchase dairy products for both the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and federal school lunch programs -- milking the taxpayers and actually getting them to pay for poisoning 26 million school kids.

The controversial Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH) -- BANNED IN MOST COUNTRIES -- is pumped into U.S. milk cows to increase annual yield (50,000 pounds of milk per cow today compared to 2,000 pounds in 1959). Milk from cows treated with BGH is likely to CONTAIN PUS from their udders since the hormone leads to mastitis, or udder infection. BGH use results in a tumor-promoting chemical (IGF-I) that has been implicated in an explosive increase of CANCER OF THE COLON, SMOOTH MUSCLE, AND BREAST.

The antibiotics dairy farmers use to treat BGH-caused infections in cows appear in their milk and greatly hasten human tolerance to most antibiotics, a POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING state of affairs. The Center for Science in the Public Interest reports that 38 percent of milk samples in 10 cities were contaminated with sulfa drugs and other antibiotics.

Dairy products may actually cause osteoporosis, not prevent it, since their high-protein content leaches calcium from the body. Population studies, backed up by a groundbreaking Harvard study of more than 75,000 nurses, suggest that drinking MILK CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE OSTEOPOROSIS.”

“Is this the same Tarp Rat who posted WHY DON'T YOU ALL SHUT UP ABOUT BACKPACKING! and cheered when Just as many threads are off-subject, as they are on subject?”

“Milk breath STINKS!”

“I think I’ll have a nice big glass of cold PUS, BLOOD, ANTIBIOTICS, AND CARCINOGENS along with my Oreo cookies. Mmmmmmmmm, heaven on earth!”

“Cow's milk is an INEFFICIENT FOOD SOURCE. Cows, like humans, expend the majority of their food intake simply leading their lives. It takes a great deal of grain and other foodstuffs cycled through cows to produce a SMALL AMOUNT OF MILK. And not only is milk a WASTE OF ENERGY AND WATER, the production of milk is also a disastrous SOURCE OF WATER POLLUTION. A dairy cow produces 120 pounds of waste every day -- equal to that of two dozen people, but with NO TOILETS, SEWERS, OR TREATMENT PLANTS.

In Lancaster County, Pa., manure from dairy cows is destroying the Chesapeake Bay, and in California, which produces one-fifth of the country's total supply of milk, the manure from dairy farms has POISONED VAST EXPANSES OF UNDERGROUND WATER, RIVERS, AND STREAMS. In the Central Valley of California, the cows produce as much excrement as a city of 21 million people, and even a smallish farm of 200 cows will produce as much nitrogen as in the sewage from a community of 5,000 to 10,000 people, according to a U.S. Senate report on animal waste.”

“He actually has this part right.

Marvy, you forgot about them being the primary source of Cryptosporidium and E.coli contamination in munincipal and private water sources.”

“Can't we all play nice?”

“But I like milk!”

“There are ways around this particular problem. It doesn't mean you shouldn't drink milk it just means that some farms should be run more responsibly, that's all.”

“Oh ok.....:)”

“MILK IS ICKY!”

“Its almost as bad as football”

“Nothing beats a big tall glass or two of milk and a box of Thin Mints....yummy

Anyone ever tried the Thin Mints on ice cream....Thank God, Girl Scout Cookies are only available once a year”

“Corporate-owned factories where cows are warehoused in huge sheds and treated like MILK MACHINES have replaced most small family farms. With genetic manipulation and intensive production technologies, it is common for modern dairy cows to produce 100 pounds of milk a day— 10 times more than they would produce in nature. To keep milk production as high as possible, farmers artificially inseminate cows every year. GROWTH HORMONES AND UNNATURAL MILKING SCHEDULES cause dairy cows' udders to become painful and so heavy that they sometimes drag on the ground, resulting in frequent infections and overuse of antibiotics.”

“The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America's leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow's milk to children, saying it can CAUSE ANEMIA, ALLERGIES, AND INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETES and in the long term, will set kids up for OBESITY AND HEART DISEASE, America's number one cause of death.”

“I only eat my Thin Mints frozen!”

“Bovine growth hormone was first synthesized in the early 1980s using GENETIC ENGINEERING techniques (recombinant DNA biotechnology). Small scale industry-sponsored trials showed that it was effective in increasing milk yields by an average of 14 per cent if injected into cows every two weeks. In 1985 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States approved the sale of milk from cows treated with rBGH (also known as BST) in large scale veterinary trials and in 1993 approved commercial sale of milk from rBGH-injected cows. At the same time THE FDA PROHIBITED THE SPECIAL LABELLING OF THE MILK so as to make it impossible for the consumer to decide whether or not to purchase it.


Essentially all the scientific data used by the FDA in the approval process of was provided by the manufacturers of rBGH and much of it has since been questioned by independent scientists. Bovine growth hormone is banned in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The European Union has maintained its moratorium on the use of rBGH and milk products from BST-treated cows are not sold in countries within the Union. Canada has also so far resisted pressure from the United States and the BIOTECHNOLOGY LOBBY to approve the use of rBGH commercially.”
