soymilk = good stuff :thumbsup:

I always thought soymilk tastes like the milk at the bottom of a cereal bowl - far sweeter than regualr milk.

Specifically, the milk from after eating Honey Nut Cheerios.

BS, the stomach is only about 1 liter in size and empties ~1,000 ml of a solution with 360 Calories/1,000 ml per hour. It's impossible to imbibe that much without vomitting. Get a video, I want to see it.

well i can drink a gallon of water in just over an hour (it's not impressive, i just tried to do it in 45 mins but sorely overestimated my ability!)




tolerant.

it depends on the day... sometimes I can eat a gallon of ice cream washed down with 1/2 gallon of milk and be fine, other days I have a sip of half/half and I'm on the can the rest of the day

I disagree. Being lactose intolerant allows you to drink milk but breast or milk feeding is passe. The future lies in growing babies in artificial wombs. You are a relic of the past my friend.

Well what if these artificial wombs provide artificial breast milk, and we find out that half of the babies are artificial lactose intolerant? What then???

I poured myself a glass of milk the other day - something I haven't done in over 6 months. I do use it for cereal occasionally, and maybe for making chocolate milk. But I poured this glass of milk, looked at it, and got an image in my head of the milk coming out of a cow before it is processed. Then I remembered an episode on TV where the farmer admitted that sometimes the cows will bleed from overpumping. And I drank this milk, thinking about what it was - water and proteins and fats and sugars, minerals and vitamins and other compounds made by the udder.

Again you show your ignorance.

Everyone know future children will not drink any sort of milk but will be fed Soylent Green.
