How could you give up milk? :confused: Is it childish to drink it?

I love milk, I have a bowl of cereal every morning and milk with some sort of snack at night, would die without my 1%!

I drink it on a daily basis easily, cereals and oreos are awesome with milk :D

Oh yeah, I drink either 2% or 1% milk, don't like fat free or full fat

Does a soybean have nipples? Can you milk a soybean? </Meet the Parents>

I don't hate it for any of those semantic reasons - I hate it because it tastes f*cking horrid. :p

I guess it's an acquired taste. :)

Well the idea of milk does gross me out(drinking something that was secreted from a cow nipple is pretty gross) but it is damn good on cereal or with brownies so i just try not to think about it.

Drank some milk recently and it made me sick :confused: guess I can't go back.

If you do drink milk, you are a mutant:

from wikipedia:
The normal mammalian condition is for the young to lose the ability to effectively digest milk sugar (lactose) at the end of the weaning period (a species-specific length of time usually equal to roughly 3% of lifespan). It has been established that certain human populations have undergone a mutation on chromosome 2 which results in a bypass of the normal shutdown in lactase production, allowing members of these groups to continue consumption of fresh milk and fresh milk products throughout their lives.

to the OP:

no / male

my parents never made me drink it as a kid, and as an adult, I don't enjoy the taste or queezy feeling in my stomach afterwards. I'll use it for cereal, cooking, or in coffee, but I never just, like, drink a glass of milk.

my mom and sister are the same way; my dad drinks milk with just about every meal, though.

edit: I do like the taste of soy milk, though.


I'm like you I use it for cooking or cereal, I never have a glass of milk.

Yeah, one of my biology professors in college told us about that. I thought it was pretty cool, until I remembered that I'm lactose intolerant so I'm not one of the cool mutants...

In other words it is kind of unnatural for adults to comsume milk regularly. I thought it was when I was a kid.

Yes. About one glass a week.

It causes kidney stones so I don't drink it that much. Don't wanna be pissing out a rock the size of a pea through my kidneys.
