Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 My current favorite US Dairy Council propaganda -- A man dressed as a bottle of milk comes in to be a substitute teacher. He teaches the little children about the wonders of milk; how healthy it is, how much fun it is to dunk cookies in, and look! You can blow bubbles in it! The catch is that the kids are really, really stupid. One boy can't figure out how to properly dunk his cookie, and when asked how many essential nutrients milk has, a voice answers, " Green? " Exactly what is the Dairy Council trying to say here? 'Milk makes you dumb'? I can't figure it out. ;] - Cheryl ..................................... http://www.pickleflick.com/bean http://www.livejournal.com/~ratties AIM: triceratops bean " I'm melting! Melting!

I drank it every chance I got, because it was " healthy " . Sigh. If only I had known! When I was about twelve, I suddenly stopped and pondered what milk actually was. Cow secretions. YUCK. That ended my drinking it by the glass. Later that year I went vegetarian, and eventually migrated to my current cozy (and much less allergy afflicted) vegan state. My allergies were horrendous as a child, and on through my teen years I had to get weekly allergy shots. Then about a year after I went vegan I stopped needing the shots -- and I haven't needed them since. I'm so much healthier now. It's amazing. Makes ya wonder if there really is something to that 'drinking milk = higher mucus production' factoid that floats around. - Cheryl ..................................... http://www.pickleflick.com/bean http://www.livejournal.com/~ratties AIM: triceratops bean " I'm melting!
