If it didn't come out of the teat of an animal, it isn't milk.

Why, in the name of God, would anyone drink liquid almonds. That is just nasty.

Milk can defined as any white fluid or can specific to the milk of lactating mammals.

I love cow milk products. Especially cheeses. I can no longer eat them.

I don’t drink anything called milk. But I do use products of things like coconut milk in cooked products. I eat vegan margarine and coffeemate in my coffee. I’d prefer not to. But I have no choice for health reasons.

Elsie and Elmer, are they being recycled for steaks?

The two legends of the Texas State Fair, once sheltered in a stall right by the building which housed ‘Youngblood’s Fried Chicken’. In an area which featured a water wheel, the two were a happy couple for the decade of the 50’s. Time marches on. How sad is this?!

The big grocery chains operate their own milk plants nowadays.

I've posted on this before:

Struggling dairy farmers building a future with hazelnuts, specialty milk, and creative thinking

While milk consumption is down cheese consumption continues to rise and is projected to rise.

They could expand their business if they started producing cheese.

Wow, another American company gone. When I was a boy, I enjoyed walking past the Borden bottling facility in San Francisco’s Mission District. It was huge, taking up a whole block, with large glass windows facing the street so all can see the thousands of bottles on conveyer lines being filled and capped. We also had them delivering milk bottles to our house, lots of Borden delivery vans and trucks everywhere. Now most factories, warehouses and rail freight lines are gone from the Mission District. Things back then were made here, now it comes from China.

Soy is old news and is losing shelf space fast.

Now there Almond, Cashew, Pea, Hemp, Oat, A2 and others that don't immediately come to mind pushing soy off the shelf.

this ocudl very well be due to the onslaught of envirowackos claiming cows fart and are bad for climate change- self righteous posers likely switched from drinking milk to soy milk or almond milk as a result-

Liberals- ruining EVERYTHING they touch!
