Yup, 'cept I probably average eating 5/6 eggs daily, they're good anytime.

I'm an egg eating fool too.

I read a study that says lactose tolerance is a mutation. Obviously it has been very beneficial to the dairy industry in lots of countries.

only real butter and whole milk in our house

My wife and I aren't that big on milk (butter is another story) but my two teenage kids go thru about 4 gallons a week and a half gallon of French Vanilla ice cream if I buy the good stuff.

when we just had our first I read that babies need a higher fat intake for developing brains so we started buying the organic whole milk until it became about a $30 week habit when the second one turned 2.

I'm not convinced that milk is all that great for you as an adult but the kids love it.

In order for me to enjoy banana cream pie I have to eat a lactose pill. So I usually go for lemon meringue pie.

You haven't tasted good milk until you've had to shake it up before pouring a glass. Homemade butter is likewise much better than the schitt wrapped up in cubes.
As far as the lactose intolerance??? I'm not buying it...if anything it's probably a reaction to hormones or antibiotics in the milk.

I grew up on raw milk and butter...........

Haven't had a glass of white milk since dad got rid of Susie, bout 40 years ago........ she was an ornery old cow.... but she gave good milk.

The Vikings got around......

This was covered in Snatch..

I love a big glass of milk with pizza or a hamburger. I'd die without milk.

You guys are boviphobes.

In almost all mammals, the enzymes needed to break down milk, are prevalent in babies only, for obvious biological reasons. As the baby gets older, the body no longer produces those enzymes.
Very few countries where adults drink milk, mainly USA and some Northern European. For some strange reason, lots of us can still digest milk protein.

The only time I like milk is with a big stack on pancakes that's been smothered in maple syrup,..and then it's got to be ice cold.

The rest of the time I leave it alone.

I used to drink a lot of it when I was a kid, but I hardly ever touch the stuff these days.

If that could be made to taste like bacon and eggs you'd be onto something!

I drink tea,...unsweetened,...by the gallons.

Or a glass of cold milk and a tomato sandwich. Yum.

My wife drinks about 2 glasses of milk a year.

BeIng bothered by regular milk sugar is not uncommon. Lactase i believe its called.

Buy some Lactaid brand milk and it solves most problems. Its still fortified with the necessary vitamins.

Word of caution: I have never been able to go back
To regular milk since starting the Lactaid.

Its powerfully sweet, and then the reaction on top.

Yes! No better way to ruin either of them than pairing them with beer. (It has its place, but not with either of them.)

I cannot stand the taste of milk "fresh from the cow", especially warm.

Lactase persistence has apparently arisen in the human population in at least four different locations in the last 10,000 years.

Some populations which are now positive for lactase persistence appear to have lacked the contributing gene as recently as 6 to 7 thousand years ago.

It is an interesting subject, the everchanging genome of the human species.
