got milk?

[realFedUp]

has anyone seen a new commercial
with guys cleaning out the market
shelves of milk and taking home
a sack full along with roses...
the tag line is that milk helps
with PMS.

Who do they think buys the most
milk...women and who would be most
offended by this ad...women
and last time I looked soy milk
actually is better for a body
than steroid laden
milk.

So for the guys who came up with
this ad concept...
I'm switching to soy, you can kiss
my ass and I don't have my period
right now.

1. I don't like milk and don't really know any

women who do.

2. I love milk but don't see any commercials because I tape

everything I plan on watching and when I watch the tape, the commercials are mercifully skipped over.

But no matter-- that sounds a bit off the wall!! Let 'em have it!!

5. I put soymilk on my cereal and it really doesn't taste

any different to me than skim milk. I really don't drink much milk anyway.

6. no, especially after mingling with all the sprayed on additives....

that end up in the flotsam at the bottom
of the bowl anyway.

7. Put vanilla soymilk on your cereal. It's delicious.

13. Actually, I use vanilla flavored soymilk.

Got milk? If not, then thank your lucky stars. Because if you do, medical research shows that you are likely to be plagued by anemia, migraine, bloating, gas, indigestion, asthma, prostate cancer, and a host of potentially fatal allergies -- especially if you are a person of color.

Ignoring this, the government declares that milk is essential to good health, subsidizes the milk industry to the tune of billions of dollars, and requires milk in its public school lunch programs. And celebrity shills sporting milk mustaches tell us that milk is rich in proteins, calcium, and vitamins -- and very cool to boot.

They forget to tell you about the dangers lurking in that innocuous-looking glass of white. Once criticized only by naturopaths and vegans, now the health effects of milk are being decried by many mainstream doctors. The supposedly hip milk mustache is actually a creamy layer of mucus, live bacteria, and pus.

Former Chairman of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University, Frank Oski, M.D. even has a book called Don't Drink Your Milk which blames every second health problem kids suffer on hormone-ridden commercial milk. Sixty percent of ear infections in kids under six years of age are milk-induced, and milk consumption is the number one cause of iron-deficiency anemia in infants today according to the American Association of Pediatrics.

But milk is also a racial issue. Almost 90 percent of African Americans and most Latinos, Asians, and Southern Europeans lack the genes necessary to digest lactose, the primary sugar in milk. The milk industry's response is classic: they have launched new campaigns arguing that non-whites can digest milk if they take in small sips during the day. There is a burgeoning industry worth $450 million a year churning out products designed to minimize lactose intolerance.

11. I love milk.

I'm a dairy fan. It gives me no digestive troubles, it provides a nutritious and sustaining (for me) alternative to water or other beverage choices.

I buy and drink only organic/hormone free milk. I'm leery of soymilk - I've heard some stuff recently about the widespread use of non-fermented soy products and and its possible ill-effects on health. I'm interested in goat's milk - but find its cost too high for me yet.

I also don't like it when the anti-dairy lobby tries to tell me that dairy is the root of all my ills. I don't have any ills, so wtf could they be trying to tell me?

Anyhow, that said, the commercial sounds pretty stupid, but it's a theme that will never die. But the Milk Lobby is a lobby just like any other - thoughtless and moneydriven.

Fortunately, my husband knows better. When it comes to milk, I prefer to have cookies with it - not roses. :)

12. well, it does better than Coke

at providing calcium...
of course there are other ways of getting
calcium.

14. Life doesn't get much better than a cold glass of milk and a

big juicy bacon-cheese burger!
