Gen Z will never understand having a gallon of milk poured down your throat every day growing up

Because your parents were convinced by Big Milk that if you didn't guzzle the stuff our bones would go soft and we'd turn into pudding people and get kidnapped at the mall.

It's true though. Milk is good for kids bones and teeth. Adults too in moderation.

@Ynotisay Lots of things are good for kids' bones and teeth. Milk propaganda is a huge industry thing. And I love milk!

@CountScrofula Yeah. The milk industry is big business and they're going to sell their stuff. But calcium is the key to bone health and there's not many alternatives that don't derive from dairy. Some leafy greens and tofu can work, or products that have calcium added, but dairy is the most accessible. But you're right. They pitch the product in a certain way and mentioning any downsides isn't part of it.
