Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well, it's funny that this should come up... milk is such a hot button for me that I try not to talk about it too much because it upsets me so! Our society is so BRAINWASHED when it comes to calcium, cow's milk, and in general, nutrition. Good for you, Sarah, for not allowing your son to watch the commercials. Remember one thing: MONEY That's what's driven behind all the promotions. I was in upstate New York attending class at a community college and got into (accidentally) a heated debate with a farm girl over the negatives of growth hormones in milk...back in the day when I thought my body tolerated milk. She said if they didn't add it, they'd lose their farm to competition...yet in the next breathe she said that the industry produces so much milk that a large portion is tossed out. That's why there's advertisement about kids and drinking milk...or grown ups trying to lose weight. Listen carefully to the commercial...it adds towards the end in a quiet blurb that IF followed by a low calorie diet, then the weight lose occurs. Well, of course...as with anything else, including soy milk! Anyway, there's only so much education we can do...starting with our families is the best start!
