Is it normal to eat fish and milk same time
Every single school I went to growing up served milk with every lunch. It was like: Fish sandwich? Have some milk. Tacos? Here's some milk. Cheeseburgers? We have milk. Grilled cheese? MIIIIILLLK!
I always thought milk was a normal thing to drink with everything because of it. I still drink milk with almost everything. XD
I grew up drinking huge quantities of milk. My parents never bought carbonated soft-drinks, so my childhood beverage options were water (from the faucet, not a bottle), reconstituted frozen orange juice or milk. I topped out at 6'4", and while I'm sure that's mainly due to genes, I'm sure the milk helped too. I've never had a broken bone in my life, and I have wondered if the milk might have played some part in that, too.
Well, there are always contrarians who take joy in shooting down the commonly accepted wisdom. Sometimes they're right, and sometimes they just enjoy feeling superior.
These days, there are loads of vegans who bristle at any suggestion that their chosen diet doesn't contain absolutely everything they need for good nutrition, and then there are the animal-rights people who make (actually pretty valid) points about the harsh realities of the industry that's behind the pristine white stuff in the sanitary cartons sitting on the chilled shelf in your local supermarket.
A cup of milk contains something like 20% of the adult recommended daily intake of calcium, and it also contains phosphorus and magnesium which are necessary for bone formation. Dairy definitely isn't the only possible source of those minerals, but it's not complete BS that milk is good for bone health. As a kid, I detested green, leafy vegetables - another good source of calcium - and I definitely would never have considered eating the types of fish where you eat the bones, so I'm sure my calcium intake would have been pretty low if I hadn't drunk a lot of milk.
As a matter of fact I discovered it as a youngster while eating Thanksgiving dinner. I immediately told my brother "Hey, try this, get a mouthful of cranberry sauce now drink some milk.".
There was no hurling but he was in agreement that it tastes like vomit. Never did that again.
