side. You want (LIKE) to have that icecream and all -hey, go

for it, I just wish you (they) wouldn't push it on our kids and

others as some kind of essential need. " Calcium " wow, that's a

whole nother subject...

We have the " calcium talk " a lot around here. Sometimes I fear

my husband is not truly human but a cow disguised as one!! I

list the food sources that can give him the same or more calcium

and his only reply is a shrug and 'I like it'.

 

It's been hard getting the kids onto soy milk products when they

see him bringing real milk into the house but we're getting

there. I think with most things it is just habit or comfort.

When I used to eat Big Macs as a 'treat' I never thought it was

good for me but I ate it anyway. Milk is the same with the same

advertising " presence " as the Golden Arches. AND with the added

" it's healthy " message.

 

Thanks for the notmilk.com suggestion. I intend to look through

the site.
