Topic: cow's milk & grocery cashier

Recently as I was at the grocery store check-out line, I mentioned to the
cashier that I was purchasing bottled water since I no longer drank cow's
milk as cow's milk gave me strep throats.
He replied that he was aware that drinking cow's milk may present certain
health problems..
The cashier said he now drinks orange juice rather than cow's milk.

Maybe the facts about the true nature of cow's milk is slowly reaching the
general public.

Thaw it first. Should solve all those problems. Oh, and mix it with 3

Just about every morning, I peel an orange and put it in the blender with a
banana, 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt, and some blueberries and ice. Lots
of vitamins and tastes about like a milk shake.

Do it in a blender and really whip it around. Tastes like ya jes skwuz
it... Or use a wand blender right in the pitcher. Drop in a few peeled
tangerine segments, maybe a navel orange segment or two. Good pulp, good
flavor.

I add buttermilk instead of yogurt and it's wonderful. My
understanding is that you only absorb about 10% of the calcium in milk
but 95% of the calcium from buttermilk. I like fresh organic
buttermilk. Some brands taste better than others.

When I was a child I saw several dead bugs in a bucket of discarded
milk at my uncle's dairy farm, therefore we must conclude that milk is
a deadly poison to all bugs and possibly to all mankind, and buckets
have an enforcing effect to its murderous properties. We must ban this
deadly substance and their containers immediately to save the children,
my god, will someone please think of the children.....

There are two kinds of buttermilk recognized by dairy folks. The liquid
left over from churning to make cream (still has all its lactose) which
is merely rather thin skim milk with a few little bits of butter in it
if made from sweet (unsoured) cream. The other type is cultured (where
most of the lactose is digested) where it thickens by bacterial and/or
acid action.

Bwahahahahaha... Right It "soaks into" plastic cartons.

Of course.

More likely that he, correctly, thought you're a raving loonie and was

Idiot.

Well... I don't know about the 'general public', though I'm not
surprised that that grocery store cashier was 'in-the-know'.

After-all, what else do they have to do between ringing customer
through other than read the tabloid headlines:

"Milk Presents Certain Health Problems"
"See - Nude photo of Bigfoot!"
"Elvis is... Ronald McDonald?"
"Aliens Abduct Corpse of John Paul!"

Make your own.

How silly; you complain about the containers and you don't know what
they're made of. *Some* acids eat *some* plastics. How unutterably
stupid would food packagers have to be to put their products into
self-destructing packages? And I bet you think the FDA would let food
packagers put their foods into packaging that would "soak up" the contents.

Forget that lemon juice foolishness. Orange juice is packed in the same
kind of containers as buttermilk.

Styrofoam isn't lemon juice soluble. Or orange juice. It's specifically
designed to hold acids like coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks. Learn
some chemistry.

You haven't addressed this:
Clearly you have no experience in this world.

You sound like all the cranks who still believe we didn't go to the
moon. My choices, beyond what you seem to think they are, include having
spent several days watching it made from resins through finished
products so I could write about it. I spoke with scientists, recyclers,
manufacturers who made things with it and an FDA scientist who explained
what their packaging criteria are.

And, BTW, what does styrofoam have to do with plasticized cartons? You
know, the ones that buttermilk "soaks into." I'm a food manufacturer who
has packaged various of my products in glass, metal, plastic and even
innerlined Tyvek bags. You clearly aren't.

George, do you lurk by the dairy case at the supermarket to accost strangers
who are buying milk? Do people back away in horror when you launch into your
tale of strep throats and lung congestion?

One of these days you are going to get a punch in the nose.

Actually, I don't. The dairy case is generally located at the
back of the grocery store.
The area for bottled water is located near the front of the grocery store.
Of ourse, most grocery stores these days ALSO have stacks of bottled water
piled up to the ceiling at / near the front of the store. Fourty
years ago - grocery stores do not have stacks of bottled water displayed.

If I was still drinking cow's milk, you can guess why [using the
above info] I would have made the switch from bottled cow's milk to bottled
water by now.

If I feel like discussing the nature of cow's milk with people, I
am very polite about it.
And people are pleasant in their response.

Only if I were very hostile and mean [like some of the pro-cow's
milk folks here] in my discussion of cow's milk.

Of course, I don't bother to discuss the bad nature of soda pop
drinks with their very acid Ph level of 2 - with folks carting out cases of
soda pop. I figure people who buy soda pop are a lost (good diet) cause
anyways.
