I stopped buying milk after watching this


I don't like the taste of soy milk, so goodbye to cow's milk. It's been good to know ya.

Dude means nice guy. Dude means a regular sort of person.

Try rice milk or almond milk. I'm lactose intolerant, so i've had experience avoiding milk for many years now.

If you're having trouble giving up ice cream, there are some great rice milk and coconut milk ice creams out there. Rice milk ice cream tastes a little bit like sorbet, and the coconut milk ones are very tasty.

you could just buy organic milk, ya know... :/

The body needs the fats and protein of milk products or meat. Diets lacking in protein and fat are often substituted for starchy foods to feel full, which are converted into sugars and do not metabolize properly. Soy milk isn't too good for you, since it increases estrogen levels and converts into sugars in the body.

For all the ills this documentary portrays of Capitalism, they also don't say the upside: Economies of scale also works to lower the costs of good products. With all the consumer education on milk and meat markets, there's been a massive consumer switch to organic products.

The result: Organic greek yogurts costing the same as non-organic counterparts, and a gallon of organic milk being just 50cents more at the local Wegmans (same as eggs). And the amazing companies providing such dairy products? Evil Dannon...
