Are you fucking kidding me. I don't believe we've been lied to for years, I think that link is bullshit. I am 65 and have been drinking milk all my life and for about the past 40 years lots of it. I don't mean a glass here and there either. Milk is my main choice of drink and there are days I go through a 4 liter jug a day and my bones are strong and I am no where near calcium deficient.
All you people go ahead and be vegans and eat synthetic meat. Me, I will continue to drink milk, eat real beef, pork and poultry like I have been doing all my life.
Calm down, btw, it's litre (in Canada if you're in Oshawa), but that's besides the point.
However, ironically enough, the way you spelled "liter" the American spelling, made me think of this article about milk and how if you don't drink it you're deemed to be "un-American". lol

Why don't we just go and milk some monkeys, dogs, cats, polar bears or any other mammal for that matter? Why does it have to be relegated only to a "cow" and her milk as something to being "good" and "necessary" for us?
Perhaps it's simply because of the farming industry that's gone on for hundreds of years and cows just happened to be the easiest and slowest animal to control, breed and do whatever we please with, milk it and eat it.
I'm not telling you to change your habits, you do what you want, you just lost your mind over a post I made. Perhaps there is some truth to the milk not being good for us and you're possibly living breathing proof of that.
Just because some people ages ago saw a calf feeding off its mother and thought it'd be cool to try the same, give a taste and then have it turn into this enormous industry, doesn't make it "healthy".
Last year WHO said that processed meats are classified as carcinogenic (hot dogs, burgers, deli meat, sausages). Now if someone were to tell you this 15 years ago, you'd probably be going on a tirade saying I've been eating burgers and hot dogs for years, you're an idiot.
But the science now has said otherwise.
I suspect it's only a matter of time before they claim meat and dairy are bad for you as well.
But yeah, calm down there champ, there's nothing wrong with progress.
Stick to a typewriter and Canada Post.
