Makes you wonder how it is that we ever got around to drinking cows milk to begin with. There is just something wrong with a species drinking another
species's milk.
We have to however because its our best source for calcium. I have done so much research on this that it makes me sick to think about it. You might
want to read some of my other posts about our diet.
Think about this, though: we eat all sorts of different parts of animals: their flesh, their organs.... if you can eat LIVER, or KIDNEYS, then milk
certainly seems less disgusting to me. At least it is designed to be nutritious, rather than being part of the waste system.
I, too, have done a lot of research about the topic of diet. Years ago, I read all of the "anti-milk" opinions, and even went off dairy for awhile.
But think about this-- you can pretty much find an "anti-" ANYTHING opinion when it comes to food, all backed up with "science" as to why we
should "never" consume whatever-it-is.
Here are some of the various opinions I have read about the "correct" way to eat, each backed up with "science": all carbs are terrible; whole
grains are the best thing you can eat; you should never eat wheat; try not to eat saturated fat; saturated fat is good for you; you should never drink
milk; you should never eat sugar; fructose is bad (even fructose in fruit); the chemicals in food make the food safer; the chemicals in food are going
to kill us all; ....I could go on, but you get the point.
My new philosophy is to relax, and eat what I enjoy. Whenever possible, make sure it is "real" food. I am much happier.
