I always wondered about the cow's milk myself Michael..it just doesn't make

sense!! I can't bring myself to drink it either. I was brought up with the

stuff...but know better now ;-)

I have tried milk or cream in my tea; but just plain don't prefer it. Mother

used milk in her tea often.

 

Humorously- or not- I have never been comfortable with drinking cows milk. As

a child I simply did not drink it for the dumb reason kids give " I don't like

it. " It was/is my olfactory senses objecting to the smell. But as I got older,

I kept thinking " why would a human drink a cows milk? Rats, dogs, cats, pigs,

and a host of other creatures give milk to their young. We wouldn't drink rats

milk. We wouldn't drink dogs milk. Why them would a human drink cows

milk...sincerely? "

When my son was young he was breast fed, as I. It is apparently very

beneficial for immunity and other reasons for a newborn critter to receive his

mothers milk. That makes sense to me.

But to drink the milk of another critter just doesn't seem appropriate to me.

Having seen how dirty nasty cows can be in pens, and then having read how many

PPMs of such tastiness as " puss " is allowed in milk didn't help but to reinforce

my personal detestation of bovine milk.

( If you really want to be seen as odd, talk to folks about such things and

note their reactions, lol.)

 

More seriously, tea wakes me up far better than coffee did; and I don't have

the sick stomach that coffee produces.

In the evening tea calms me more effectively and yet gently; more than a glass

of wine.
