So? Milk is great.
The video goes wrong at the point where it says "there's this idea that we [U][I]have[/I][/U] to drink milk in order to be healthy". The claim is way to big and too easy a target to disprove. Milk is healthy and drinking milk during breakfast is healthier than many common alternatives (water, soda, nothing)

[QUOTE=Jack32;50256886]So? Milk is great.[/QUOTE] Not so great if you're trying to avoid intestinal or pancreatic cancer, and/or about 60% of the world's population that can do exactly jack shit with cow milk proteins. [quote] healthier [/quote] Battery acid is healthier than coke, so that's not even a thing, Milk is sure as hell not healthier than water, lol.
Milk is lame, minus for dunking the cookies. CHOCOLATE milk however, is nectar from the gods.

[QUOTE=FPtje;50256926]Milk is healthy and drinking milk during breakfast is healthier than many common alternatives ([B]water[/B], soda, nothing)[/QUOTE] Wouldn't be talking shit about water, it makes up most of your milk.
Milk is okay for you if you can digest it. It's not really good for you or anything though. It's protein mix is good for post work outs, but really, it's a pretty mediocre food item. Now cheese on the hand...
[QUOTE=27X;50256973]Battery acid is healthier than coke, so that's not even a thing, Milk is sure as hell not healthier than water, lol.[/QUOTE] You mean Coke is healthier than Battery acid, right?
No.
I would happily work for big milk propaganda. Milk is delicious, and everything made from milk is delicious.
[QUOTE=27X;50257125]No.[/QUOTE] The LD50 for Sulphuric Acid is about 2g per KG of body weight - in a litre of battery acid (we'll take the weaker end of the scale and go for 4.2 mol/L) there's about 400g of Sulphuric Acid. So, given that our LD50 is based off of rats, we'll say that humans are super hardy and can take a double dose - 4g per KG of body weight. That still means that the average American (about 80KG) is still getting a dose of around 5g per KG of body weight, so we're looking at a greater than 50% fatality rate. Now, I could be wrong, but I'd imagine the percentage of people who'd die from drinking a litre of coke is probably less than 50%. Unless you mean cocaine, I guess. Even then I think I'd still prefer to take cocaine over dilute sulphuric acid.
I like milk. It's a nice treat. Goat milk is good
[QUOTE=27X;50257125]No.[/QUOTE] are you mentally deficient
This is why you should avoid hyperbolic statements on Facepunch, it's just a magnet for pedantic arguments.
Wow I agree with a Vox video for once. We need to remove these stupid government subsidies which degenerate our companies into a state of non-competitive monopoly. Maybe the free market doesn't want milk, let people decide for themselves! Big government is the biggest problem our country currently faces.

Milk Industry is a bit fucked, honestly just read up on why Camels, which are arguably some of the best animals with milk, are almost flat out illegal in the USA. Everything needs to be processed and homogenized, something Camel milk doesnt need, and it has legitimate very healthy properties. That said Milk is fucking delicious and everyone should drink some once in a while. Fuck that 1% and 2% shit as well, you get Whole or nothing.

Hahahaha too bad I'm allergic to dairy.

I'll stick with my green and occasional rice, almond or oat ''milk''. This video isn't even touching the part on how much food and water a cow needs, which could be used for more productive crops.
milk is the closest thing I can get to semen
Milk is great I love the amount of "I'm a Vegan" in the comments.
[I]Fed Up[/I] is another documentary that goes into some of the shady marketing and policy practices of the food industry. Honestly I think regular milk is fine but I stay away from processed products like cheese or yogurt because that crap is marketed as healthy even though it contains copious amounts of sugar, food dye, and preservatives.
At least it doesn't give you cancer like soda and other shit
