    I've heard that often enough and I don't know why. I once had a gfs dad who said straight to my face "no offence but I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink, so I don't trust you" what the hell are you meant to say to that? XD

    Milk has benifits you can find in foods like broccoli. Milk also has drawbacks that you can't find in other foods like broccoli. Simples.

    Just as many brocoli have complained about being ate as have cows. So you don't really have an argument.

    Indeed, my arguement lies in pieces in the face of such a point.

    Well, then why is it immoral to eat a cow but not a broccoli? That makes a lot of sense.

    1) We are omnivores.

    This is sort of a central tenant of being human, is that we are, by our nature, drawn to eat both plant and animal for sustenance. We are different than most any animal on the planet in that we are no longer acquiring food for simple sustenance, we eat for taste, comfort, etc..

    2) Natural does not equal good

    This is a mistake a lot of people make. defibrillators are unnatural, but they save lives. coca is natural and can be easily made into a drug that can kill you. Medical studies as to "good" foods and "bad" foods are almost always biased. Several years back, Doctors over her jumped up and down about how eggs weren't "good" for us. it was several years later when the same docs came back to tell us that indeed, eggs are good for us, but are high in cholesterol. Beer is unnatural, but I don't see us giving that up any time soon.

    3) Milk has health benefits

    As has been pointed out, Milk has many health benefits, but what was skipped is that it can aid in healthy weight loss as well.

    4) Everything has risks.

    I can get cancer from my cell phone, laptop, smoking, being around smokers, and a slew of other activities. Unless you can prove an adverse degree of risk, then really, it's right up there with all the other "risks".

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
