RE: [100% veg*n ] Don't drink milk. It makes ya stupid.

February 12, 2002

Hmm...almost sounds like a vegan slagging-off. Or, perhaps, I'm just

paranoid. What? Wull, my theory is that the " bottle-of-milk-substitute

teacher " provides the children's first introduction to milk. Previously,

then, never have been exposed, they never did drink milk. Therefore, they

are nutritionally deficient. Okay, it's not specifically derogatory toward

vegans, but I think that the gist is that milk is essential to brain

development. Yea, we all know that THIS is true, don't we?

Incidentally, how many on this list were absolutely repulsed by milk when

you were children? I can remember wretching when the milk cartons were

distributed during grade school. Peeeuke.

[100% veg*n ] Don't drink milk. It makes ya stupid.

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.
