There's a ton of info on that site. You obviously didn't read much of it, considering how quickly you replied back to me. So, either read it all or don't. Really doesn't matter to me. :)

Because you know, individual non-specialist are just awesome at research. |
Take from that message what you will. Again, it all comes down to personal choice. I choose to drink it because it tastes good and makes me feel good. Others prefer not to for their own reasons. |

I asked a specific question. I clicked every single link I thought may cover the question I asked. If you’re saying you made it up and can’t provide an actual statement supported by research, that’s ok. I’ll forgive you.

I have no issues with people making their own choices. What I don’t like is wild claims bereft of supporting evidence. |

i found an interesting article on the history of milk consumption. i can't vouch for it's accuracy, but it is interesting nevertheless.
long story short, drinking fresh bovine milk is a relatively new phenomena, probably only a few hundred years (if not even less!), which by any measure is a minuscule amount of time in the broad arc of human evolution.

i suppose this article sheds a little light on the peculiar fact that we (humans) give milk to cats and dogs; drinking fresh milk was something mostly animals did.
 George Morland | The Artist's Cat Drinking - 1792
from WIKI, on the topic of dairy consumption in the middle ages.
| quote: | Milk was an important source of animal protein for those who could not afford meat. It would mostly come from cows, but milk from goats and sheep was also common. Plain fresh milk was not consumed by adults except the poor or sick, and was usually reserved for the very young or elderly. Poor adults would sometimes drink buttermilk or whey or milk that was soured or watered down.[54] Fresh milk was overall less common than other dairy products because of the lack of technology to keep it from spoiling. On occasion it was used in upper-class kitchens in stews, but it was difficult to keep fresh in bulk and almond milk was generally used in its stead.[55]
Cheese was far more important as a foodstuff, especially for common people, and it has been suggested that it was, during many periods, the chief supplier of animal protein among the lower classes.[56] Many varieties of cheese eaten today, like Dutch Edam, Northern French Brie and Italian Parmesan, were available and well known in late medieval times. There were also whey cheeses, like ricotta, made from by-products of the production of harder cheeses. Cheese was used in cooking for pies and soups, the latter being common fare in German-speaking areas. Butter, another important dairy product, was in popular use in the regions of Northern Europe that specialized in cattle production in the latter half of the Middle Ages, the Low Countries and Southern Scandinavia. While most other regions used oil or lard as cooking fats, butter was the dominant cooking medium in these areas. Its production also allowed for a lucrative butter export from the 12th century onward.[57] |

DOOMBOT tends to run out of argument long before he runs out of placeholder comebacks.
So what do we have, assuming all this unverified and poorly researched hearsay is true? Milk is bad for your health because of vague links to cancer and a suggestion it may increase the risk of kidney stones in those who are genetically susceptible. Given that there's no history of kidney stones in my family despite decades of milk-drinking and that everything from sunlight through to plastic water bottles has some vague link to cancer, I'm going to conclude that there is no risk to my health from drinking milk, certainly none that outweighs the nutritional benefits. |

Bags. |
I've only seen the bag milk when I worked at food service and we had to load it into the milk dispenser thing. never seen it in stores at all. |

For those who don't know, they come in 3 separate bags inside the container bag.
You cut off a piece from the end, usually sideways so it makes a triangle opening thingy. You put the bag into another plastic container and then pour it like you would a regular carton!
We Canadians like to do it awesome. |

i have not had a real glass of milk since i've been here and i miss it. i buy this long lasting milk for what passes for my morning coffee here imported from germany. i does not taste right. i won't drink chinese milk, because i value my health. i miss canadian milk.
i made crepes with bananas and nutella (the real stuff in the glass jar, not the cheap nutella in the plastic jar that italians won't eat) last week. without a tall glass of cold 1% at the end it really was like sex without orgasm. et tu blute. |
