Folks really need to normalize casually drinking milk the same way people drink CO2-infused sugar water. Milk is delicious and a great base source of nutrients.
Don’t knock it until you try it, I love chocolate soda!
1/4-1/3 of your desired cup size of milk, lots of chocolate syrup, mix until chocolatey. Keep stirring as you add seltzer or it will foam like crazy. It still might foam up a bit until you get the hang of it.
Stupid diabetes and high cholesterol being a thing or id drink this all day…
I don’t think I or any rational adult of sound mind and health would look at someone drinking a carton of milk and have anything close to a thought at all, much less a thought of ridicule or judgement. I am not getting or connecting with the persecution complex in this post.
The reason you don’t see people drinking milk as commonly as other drinks is that lactose intolerance is a huge thing, and even if you don’t have a genetic predisposition to lactose problems, as you get older it gets harder and harder to digest. This is why milk is often associated with kids, it’s good for growing bodies but not so much for someone who’s already an adult.
Also, it’s not that refreshing. The fat content makes it feel less hydrating than water or fat-free liquids of any kind.
I simp for railroads too! Most energy efficient method of moving anything over a distance too great to bicycle that exists (bikes and ebikes are the only thing more energy efficient per kilometer than trains. So I suppose I also simp for bikes now too)
Cow’s milk actually robs you of calcium and on top of that your body isn’t meant to digest animal milk of any sort after the first couple of years of your life. We just force it to for years after it’s no longer a true necessity.

Despite all the calcium that dairy contains, some believe that its high protein content can cause osteoporosis.
The reason is that when protein is digested, it increases the acidity of the blood. The body then pulls calcium from the blood to neutralize the acid.
This is the theoretical basis for the acid-alkaline diet, which is based on choosing foods that have a net alkaline effect and avoiding foods that are “acid forming.”
However, there really isn’t much scientific support for this theory.
If anything, the high protein content of dairy is a good thing. Studies consistently show that eating more protein leads to improved bone health (4, 5, 6, 7).
Not only is dairy rich in protein and calcium, it’s also loaded with phosphorus. Full-fat dairy from grass-fed cows also contains some vitamin K2.
Protein, phosphorus and vitamin K2 are all very important for bone health (8, 9).
Summary
Not only is dairy rich in calcium, it also contains large amounts of protein and phosphorus, all of which are important for optimal bone health.
I’m sorry, does having genes that explicitly help in drinking milk beyond infancy not count? Not just one gene mind you, several genes, some of while evolved multiple times in different areas. How does that mean “we’re not mean to drink milk after infancy”?
We domesticated grains and legumes around the same time, does this mean bread is bad for us? Are potatoes slowly killing everyone? Is chocolate evil? We’re generalists and have a long history of scavenging, we’re designed to eat whatever we can get including grass, dirt, and carrion. Our immune system and digestive system are both quite good at processing rotting meat compared to most mammals, and we’re much more resistant to toxins too. Dogs are also generalists, yet we regularly eat large amounts of things that will kill them, like onions, garlic, and grapes. We enjoy the taste of natural pest control like mustard and capsaicin. Milk is a rare nutrient dense and safe food compared to what we were usually eating before agriculture.
About 68% of adults in the entire world lose their ability to fully digest lactose. There’s also plenty of other things the body can’t digest what-so-ever.

Move over, Hydro Homies. Now is the time for Milk Mates.
Dani the youtuber promotes milk
I’ll meet you half way with some CO2-infused milk.
Half way would be pilk.

Tried that once. Put some milk in the Sodastream.
It was not successful.

That’s just unspoiled spoiled milk
OP was drinking milk out of the carton. I’d side-eye someone walking around drinking a 2 liter just as hard.
You’re right, we need water fountains with milk instead
That’s what the hidden fask is for. Grade A Cambodian breast milk.
Don’t they sell 1 pint cartons any more?

Milk gives me spicy poops tho
Found the milk industry guerilla propagandist!

No
No one’s forcing you to drink milk.

your body is meant for you to digest anything possible
About 68% of adults in the entire world lose their ability to fully digest lactose. There’s also plenty of other things the body can’t digest what-so-ever.

Fucking vegan. Fuck off.
Wait until you hear about the ultra processed fad. They make vegans look tame.
