The idea that we NEED milk is a complete lie. It’s not nearly as nutritious as they want you to believe. My household only drinks milk with cereal. And it’s whole milk at that.

My 4 yr old was breastfed til 13 months, woke up one day and decided she was done so we never got the chance to transition to cows milk. We offered her cows milk over and over and she refused. Each time we brought it up to her pediatrician, he was not the least bit concerned. In fact, he told us there’s better sources of protein, calcium and vitamins.

People figured out sugar is effectively poison, milk tastes great because it's liquid sugar and you can get more flavor, protein and calcium from almond milk, plus eliminate all sugar from the drink.


Should kids be pounding milk like we thought? Maybe not. But, drinking that stuff that is basically water with a little almond juice and other stuff mixed in seems like a poor substitute unless you're lactose intolerant.

Years ago family friends in Justin TX switched to beef for semi retirement. Dairy was way more work.

Side note is that he planted onions where the holding pen for the milking parlor was. Fricking largest onions I ever saw and sweet as an apple too

Borden’s milk is expensive and expires fast.

They used to have a processing facility on Florida Blvd in Baton Rouge. Since they closed it, I think they ship everything out of east Texas (Beaumont maybe?). They kind of gave up on the SE Louisiana market over the years.

Wow. That is a bunch. We drink a lot, my wife pushes it at meal time, me not so much. I think water is fine. Every now and then when I am getting it out for the boys, I pour a big glass of it and slam it back, but I have never had it as a beverage that I drank with my meal.

A large portion of the beef supplied in the U.S. is from dairy cows. Cull cows, no longer productive to milk and steers. The majority are Holsteins. A lot of marginal “prime” beef comes from this herd.

My kids enjoy it, clearly. The toddler is addicted. Drinks neaely a half gallon a day by himself. The older ones drink more water than milk, but they eat cereal and whatnot that increases the household consumption.

Lake Chuck and Laffy did too. Back when transportation was more difficult and expensive.

Laffy still had a Borden's ice cream/soda fountain place.

That's because all the family farms are no longer profitable due to economy of scale so they are sold and consolidated into corporate farms and cows are given steroids a


90% of the farms in America are considered family farms
These big bad "corporate farms" are a figment of the media's and facebook mom's imaginations

Also the steroids that are used are naturally occurring and safe

As well as tasty veal. I well remember feeding calves destined for veal when I was about 7. They were given a powder milk type feeding with a rubber teat on the bottom side of a galvanized gallon, or so, bucket.

Maybe number of farms, but what about production? Is it 90/10?

Kleinpeter sold their herd several years ago and went back to buying exclusively from local dairy farms.

This is a model a lot use.

Plenty of agricultural row crop family farms. I have one myself.

There are a lot of corporate farms but they haven’t taken over the industry.
