Is chocolate milk really that much less healthy than regular 2% milk? AFAICT they are basically the same, with the former having an extra 5g or so of added sugar per 8oz glass. It’s much better for you than, say, apple juice which is almost entirely just sugar.
Milk should just not be given to children at all in school. I don’t understand why we can’t have kids drink just fucking water. We shouldn’t be encouraging kids to drink sugary anything. Calcium and protein can come from so many other sources. I never understood milk as a lunch drink option as a kid and I don’t understand it now.
The dairy industry has a strong lobby. There's no reason to drink milk from a cow or any other non-human animal.
Ask yourself "Am I a baby cow?" If the answer is "No", then you shouldn't be drinking cows' milk.
Are you an animal of prey? No? Then you shouldn't be eating lamb's meat.
No argument here.
Humans are predators though? In the "wild" as it were, our species are omnivorous persistence hunters.
So we can eat anything? Even...milk???
