It's been so long...Flame Fest - Subject: Milk

[yvr girl]

I think 1% milk is the best. Not too much fat, but it doesn't have that icky blue colour. 2% is ok, but HOMO is just gross.

[ewagner]

1. 2% is a low as I go

IMO 1% is awful on cereal....might as well pour water on it.....

hats off to anybody who can tolerate 1%.....

[yvr girl]

4. You're just weak

Don't be such a princess.

[LynneSin]

2. Skim all the way - anything else is too thick for me

Hell drinking regular milk tastes like I'm chugging cream or something

[orleans]

36. ditto

[xmas74]

46. Same here!

All the others make me sick.:puke:

[driver8]

65. skim for me, too!

Even 1% seems a little heavy now.

[MissB]

3. Soy.

Dairy milk sucks.

[Bouncy Ball]

6. Vanilla soy is yum.

[MissB]

10. Chocolate soy is yummier

But I usually only buy vanilla.

Trader Joes makes the wonderful single-serving boxes, so my son can have milk just like all the other kids.

[RebelOne]

Chocolate is the only way to go.

It's just like drinking a chocolate milk shake.

[Robeson]

22. Chocolate soy is great in coffee!...

...:donut: :9

[Robeson]

Vanilla soy rocks, rules and dominates....

...:thumbsup:

[Borgnine]

69. I drink both dairy and soy.

I put dairy on my cereal, but whenever I want a glass, I choose soy. It tastes like a melted milkshake, and wasn't squeeze from anybody's teat.

[Bouncy Ball]

5. Skim. The only way to go.

Skim and 100% organic. No pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, cattle antibiotics or artificial growth hormones.

Also no traces of blood or pus as is found in regular milk from infected udders.

[yvr girl]

11. I will never be able to drink milk again

You're evil. Some things I just don't want to know.

[Bouncy Ball]

15. Sorry, but it's true.

It was in a huge study, came out about six months ago. I can google for it, if you want me to.

Now, keep in mind, they found TRACES of blood and pus. Nothing you'd ever notice!

;-)

[ewagner]

25. hehehe

you should try working in the dairy industry for about 10 years....especially the barn equipment part of it........that's why I NEVER drink milk alone....just in cereal...even then I've got to do a mental number on myself.......

[Bouncy Ball]

29. I cannot touch non-organic dairy products.

Cannot and will not. Butter, eggs, milk, sour cream, all of it. Not organic, not going past my lips.

Besides, when we switched to organic milk, we noticed it actually TASTES better. The few times I had regular milk after that, I swear it tasted chemical-ly to me.

[yvr girl]

33. la, la, la, la

I actually don't drink very much milk. Now I know why.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

19. Please tell me you're kidding!

Pus and blood? :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Bouncy Ball]

21. No I'm not.

But like I said, they found TRACES. Nothing you'd ever notice. Very small trace amounts.

[rene moon]

7. Milk is disgusting

I won't look, smell, drink the nasty stuff. Ugh, so gross!

[Jessica]

8. 2% Chocolate ...

And none of that cheap crap! Give me Hershey's.

[Akoto]

9. Eek.

I am very much lactose intolerant, so anything that contains a lot of milk really messes up my stomach. I have to take a pill before I eat things like that (such as ice cream).

So, as you can imagine, I don't drink milk at all. :)

[Bouncy Ball]

12. She's just hoping for another flame fest.

Gotta get her fix today.

[MissB]

13. I avoided the use of the word

"pus".

[yvr girl]

20. Are you talking about me?

It's not like I start these things on purpose - you're all just a bad influence on me.

[Bouncy Ball]

23. Oh don't be such a candy ass.

You start potential flame fests, you have to own up to it, Nancy.

LOL! (blood and pus)

[yvr girl]

32. Don't call me Shirley!

I've been pigeon-holed. Now I'm just living up to people's expectations.

[Huckebein the Raven]

14. I can only drink 2% or skim

When I was a kid, that's the only kind I could drink without throwing up

[Shadow Drifter]

16. Whole

either wholemilk/chocolate milk or no milk for me. I dont want none of that diet or reduced crap.

[ZenLefty]

17. This is EXACTLY why we lose elections!!!!!!11

:grr: :grr: :grr;

[Jackpine Radical]

18. "HOMO is just gross."

Does this make you a HOMOphobe?

[yvr girl]

27. Maybe. You gotta problem with that.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. The best milk? STRAIGHT from the cow, chilled, but not

HOMOgenized and not pastuerized, with the cream still in it so that you have to shake the container before using it.

(apologies for the blatant puns in here, hope no one is offended - but seriously, I do prefer fresh, real milk over that store bought pastuerized/homogenized shit). But, since I have to drink store bought, I go with whole milk only - I also use half&half, and i use cream when I cook.

Screw skim milk. Might as well drink Carnation Instant Milk shit.

[Bouncy Ball]

28. I didn't think of the puns until you said that.

Then I had fun re-reading it to get all of them!

Thanks! :hi:

Organic skim rulez.

[Bouncy Ball]

26. BTW, what's this blue color you are talking about?

Y'all must have weird milk in Canada. And you don't drink homogenized milk???

[yvr girl]

31. Maybe our skim milk is thinner

skim - 1% - 2% - Homogenized

All are milk is homogenized, but in Canada we call whole milk homogenized or HOMO. We don't use the term whole milk.

[Liberal Veteran]

30. Lactose intolerant here. I love milk....it hates me.

But at least I can eat aged cheese and have yogurt.

[RadicalMom]

66. I developed that in recent years, but can drink it if I take

Lactaid pills with it. They work for me, fortunately.

[Midlodemocrat]

34. Skim is the only way to go.

Why do you hate America?

[yvr girl]

35. All Canadians hate America

Haven't you heard?

[Jackpine Radical]

44. Glad to see you Canucks have some sense

about SOMETHING. Hell, I live down here & I haven't been on speaking terms with about half the country for better'n 4 years now.

[elshiva]

37. Very Vanilla Soy, Vanilla Soy, 2% milk, Plain Soy

in that order.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

39. This is about milk

why are you bringing plant oil into the conversation.

edit: I never heard of soy tities (props to Lewis Black)

[elshiva]

40. OK Chocolate and Strawberry milk, but I dig plant oil, too.

[Mr. McD]

38. I like full fat milk with a little 1/2 & 1/2 added.

:)

[SarahB]

41. They're all HOMO!!!

Homo is short for homogenized which means the fat is broken up and dispersed throughout the milk. Anyone who has ever seen fresh milk (or likewise lactated themselves :7) knows that the milk and the cream separate naturally. Homogenization is the process to keep that from happening. Do you mean whole milk? That's essentially 4%.

Nerd mammal facts presented to you today by SarahBelle! :D

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

42. I don't like milk at all

Chocolate Silk is good, though... mmm

[pres2032]

43. Deleted message

:P


I like 2% milk :9

[4_Legs_Good]

45. I agree 1% is best - Organic of course

[slutticus]

47. Breastfeeding is for losers!

:evilgrin:

Hey La Leche League...suck on this!!! :D

[fleabert]

52. ha!

[slutticus]

68. Lactivist

LOL!

[fleabert]

48. I love whole...

I know it's bad for me, but the rest is just whole milk watered down! Might as well do like my mom and put it on ice!

gives me the shivers when I look at a glass of 2% or 1% - ick!

[Dave Reynolds]

49. Milk?

Doesn't that victimize and exploit our bovine friends?

Shouldn't there be some PETA video about that?

[ComerPerro]

50. 1% or nothing

Amen.

People who drink 2% are just sheep. Anyone who drinks whole is a FReeper.

And skim milk is for communists.

[SmileyBoy]

51. Why do you Canadians put milk in a bag???

Liquid doesn't BELONG in a bag!!!

[Pithlet]

53. I love whole milk. Blood and puss! MMMM! (thanks, Bouncy)

That is what I was raised on. I know it's not good for me. I just try to make sure the rest of my diet is healthful. I only use it on cereal, I don't drink it.

[name not needed]

54. I see you're drinking 1%. Is that cause you think you're fat?

Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

[yvr girl]

55. I think whole milk just tastes 'thick'

I also like to be heart smart.

[MisterP]

57. Gov. Schwarzenegger: "All milk is good milk!"

[Arkana]

58. 1% is best, I think

It doesn't have that weird taste that whole and 2% have, but it's not watery like skim either.

[PittPoliSci]

59. no milk for me.

i don't care if it's soy (that shit isn't even milk so don't call it that!), skim, 1% etc. It all tastes terrible.

[sendero]

60. Actually....

... there is more and more scientific evidence implicating milk in all sorts of health problems, particularly problems involving auto-immune diseases.

I'm cutting way back :)

[parsifal_e]

61. skim for me......

although my wife lately convinced me to switch soymilk.

checkout the fat content on 1% and 2% milk , the difference from whole is not that much.

[hedgehog]

63. We get skim milk in glass!

Nothing better. By the way, where were all those nifty t-shirts when I was breast-feeding my kids!

[hedgehog]

64. Funny story

My kids were/are raised on skim milk and butter - no weight problems. The youngest is very skinny - takes after her dad. She drinks skim at home, but liked the creamy milk at grandma's. Turns out she was drinking my Mom's half-and-half! (Maybe you had to be there.)

[flvegan]

67. Mmmm...veal crates and rape racks...

Thanks, dairy industry! Aw, hell...they're ONLY animals.

Milk doesn't do any body good.

[Withywindle]

70. Whole milk ALL THE WAY

and Half and half in my coffee.

I don't deal with that watered-down crap. And soy milk is fit only for baby soys (and then only until their teeth come in)!


Hey, TMI - who's had human breast milk recently? A friend of mine who had a baby was so productive she was giving out tastes to friends who were curious, in shot glasses. I was surprised at how sweet it is.
