Cow boob juice is for baby cows. Human boob juice is for baby humans. Adults of any species should have developed past ingesting boob juice in childhood.
I like this interpretation of history. I guess that means the Wright brothers were drinking Red Bull?
More seriously, they drank milk because they were pastoralists with a lot of it, and because it’s something you can consume. Hell, they were even lactose intolerant; if you happen to be European or West African all the better. Not sure where this “it’s for kids” idea comes from, maybe it’s some kind of American cultural thing. (If you want to be really bio-deterministic, it’s for babies, older children are in the same group as adults)
Side note Italy being blue explains why they have strange rules such as “no cappuccino after noon”, it’s not that it’s bad or anything it’s that many Italians can only stomach one, maybe two a day.
I’ve never drank milk as an adult, and I honestly don’t know if I can think of anyone I’ve ever known that has ordered milk alone (not in coffee or something) as an adult and drank it. I’m not white though, so idk. But a lot of my friends and coworkers are, and I’ve never seen it.
I mean I’ve known that I’m lactose intolerant since I was 13 or something and I had to be be bribed to drink it before that so, yeah, it wasn’t hard to stay away from drinking straight milk into adulthood.

And yet, the Mongols conquered Eurasia on it.
Yes, and milk was the singular reason they were able to. Turns out those Got Milk commercials had it right all along

A glass of milk or sometimes a chai with milk will literally be my breakfast some days.
Milk rules.
We get it you’re vegan.
Also most people are actually lactose-intolerant, the capability to retain production of lactase into adulthood is a mutation won through a lot of hardship and diarrhoea.

I don’t think I’d really like giving up my present diet for the one that my hunter-gatherer ancestors were required by circumstance to eat.
Come on dude. Don’t tell me you’ve never drunk milk as an adult. Be honest lmfao

Unless it’s in baking or coffee/drinks or cereal it’s pretty fucking weird to drink it
Maybe acceptable with certain desserts tbh. But not with an actual meal
I stopped drinking milk when I left home and moved to college… 30+ years ago.

Learning this little factoid also helped immensely: Because of the mastitis epidemic in the U.S. dairy herd, the dairy industry continues to demand that American milk retain the highest allowable “somatic cell” concentration in the world. via: nutritionfacts.org, how much pus is there in milk?
