Another chink of the armour of the great milk lobby.

I actually find the promotion of Milk quite fascinating - they've done such a good job of marketing that Milk is now treated like water - you need it and only a quack would criticize it.

Unfortunately, the anti-milk lobby doesn't do a very good job of distancing themselves from actual quacks (and tasteless pranks don't help them much).

Milk. What does it do for you? I drink soy not because it is trendy but it does not get an assist in the game of life killing you. Its all the same on shreddies. Milk leaves a weird taste in the mouth - admit it.

...but then there is cheese, the product that all milk aspires to become: green veined sheep's milk roquefort, five year old cheddar, Finnish skim lappi - I really like cheese. I like supporting bacteria crafting mammalian lacation into molded gob of tangy yum. Ancient northern art of protein storage. Hindus at home think westerners stink of cheese. I like it so much that I am gonna start making it at home - I have the bacterial strain in the freeze now...nearby. I'd die a month younger then my date with the Lord if my cheesie rations between now and then were only the excellent and surprising - no more marble at someone's wife's aunt's.

I am an unabashed milk lover.

I buy those huge 4L jugs of 2% milk, and drink them in a week or less.

So here's at least one person who likes the taste, and does not, as of yet, have Crohn's Disease*.

* I do not mean to make light of Rob's exciting disease. - I'll let him do that.

I love milk and drink a lot of it but I must admit, ADL milk leaves a funny taste in my mouth, and not a good one at that.

Before moving to PEI, I lived in Nova Scotia and drank only Brookfield's (or Scotsburn, I can't remember which). It is truly great and I bring some home with me every time I head back to PEI from visiting my parents.
