  • Actually, neither do I. I'm lactose intolerant.

      • I'm with you Kitty. When I was in boarding school in France, they served us coffee at breakfast with fresh, whole milk in it. The unhomogenized milk would curdle and big chunks would form; yuck!
        I swore when I got out of that school, I'd never drink milk again. One the other hand we did get wine (watered down) at lunch and dinner, so it wasn't all bad.

        • When I was farming years ago we milked our own jersey cows and the first time I drank unpasteurised unhomogenized milk warm, virtually straight from the cow, I loved it and I still miss it!

          I'm not denying pasteurisation has saved lives when milk is produced in huge quantities for commercial consumption but our cows were healthy and so were we.

          I grew up on unhomogenized milk in bottles with the cream at the top and milk has never been the same since they started mixing the cream through the milk so I can't taste it.

          I don't drink much milk now and never at home since I switched to soymilk at menopause, but if I had access to natural milk I'd probably drink it occasionally

          • Gross is right. Nope, no milk from the day I left that school. My mom hated it because she couldn't just give me cereal at breakfast. I still won't eat a dish (like mac & cheese if I know it has milk in it, but ice cream (very cold & hard) and cheese are OK. But no milk, cream, buttermilk (yuck, yuck, yuck), cottage cheese; no way.
            It was France; wine in school. I won a bottle at a fair when I was like 7 and my dad and I sat on a bench and drank some together, in public. Things are different in other places.

            • My mom used to put milk in mac and cheese. she says "it's at least kind of healthy this way". and yaasss buttermilk, and cottage cheese are also disgusting, but cream.. I kinda like it.. but only whipped cream.. lol

              And did you get drunk, or at least tipsy while drinking the wine?

      • Can't argue with that :)
        A lot of people don't like milk.
        Can't stand the taste, smell or texture.

        • yas, it tastes so bad and my stomach feels weird after I drink it, I've actually puked a few times after drinking it when I was younger

          • I know the feel.
            I puke or get extremely nauseous after drinking it on account of the lactose intolerance. So whenever I do have something with milk in it I just get absolutely disgusted.

            Which is strange, considering I used to drink a lot of milk when I was younger, as children usually need milk in infancy.

              • Hmm that's interesting. Do you feel nausea or having really bad stomach cramps? You could also have very mild lactose intolerance. In that, things that are made with milk such as ice cream and chocolate don't make you nauseous but an excess of whole milk does.

                PM me if you have any questions about that :)
