        Wouldn’t expect any strange looks so long as it is on the menu. The number of places that sell chocolate chip cookies, brownies, 9 laters of chocolate cake cake etc isn’t 0. I’m an alcoholic but I actually would look at someone who ordered a cocktail at a restaurant more strangely with how they get priced. If someone said you can get a giant brownie with ice cream chocolate fudge topped with peanuts and a glass of milk, or a martini and the martini will cost more… I’ll take the milk. Maybe I’m not doing the alcoholism thing right.

    I’m lactose intolerant so I don’t go around in public drinking glasses of milk.

    I’m also a recovering alcoholic so I also don’t go around public drinking alcohol.

        Not drinking anymore has allowed me to travel the world to five continents, 40 countries, multiple cruises and meet people from all over the world. It’s amazing how much money and time you save when you stop drinking, smoking and drugging. It also allowed me to run a small business fixing building repairing houses for over 30 years and save enough money and time and energy to own my own house, multiple vehicles and two other recreational properties.

        I still drink milk sometimes though … just not in public because it makes me fart.

          I’m amazed by family members, friends, and coworkers that smoke like chimneys. I ask them how much their pack a day habit costs and I’m floored. Even the lower tax native smokes are not cheap.

          Then throw in the booze and drugs it’s no wonder why they can’t afford a lot of basic things. I have a addictive personality at times but thankfully I’m too cheap for those things and would rather travel, own the toys, vehicles etc.

          I do have an addiction to sweets and ice cream which gives me the same gas issues.

        I think milk has vitamins and nutrients as well, vitamins and nutrients that can be easily supplemented by other dietary sources.

        It’s much more the fact that it’s just day to day normal to drink breast milk from other animals.

        “What do you like to drink?”

        “Milk.”

        “What’s that?”

        “This breast juice from other animals. It’s super healthy for the percentage of our population that can digest it.”

        “Oh…Why from other animals?”

        “Well, we’re not going to drink human breast milk, that would be gross. I mean, we give it to babies. Cow and goat lactation, though, that’s for grown-ups.”

          Yeah I was talking about milks too. Probably it’s relatively easy to supplement milk with other sources but are those choice economically viable? Protein powders are a bit expensive + as an average joe, payin 3x+ more for plant based milk products are bit too much for me currently, but a 2x could convince me to opt for a plant based one. I’m not really knowledgable in this area, there must be some other options too for replacing milk in a cost effective way.

            Supplements are cheaper than milk. If the main concern is about d3, you can buy hundreds of high dose d3 supplements for like 10 bucks.

            I’m checking.

            Costco, no sale, 500 iu d3, 600 gels.

            CVS, 5$, 400iu d3 for 100 gels.

            Supplements are pretty available.

            Protein? Meat. Quinoa. Protein is easier and cheaper, but d3 is straightforward and available also.

                Yeast is the way to look in terms of a realistic cost effective nutritious alternative to milk that tastes and feels similar. I think anyway. Synthesized yeast proteins, acids and fats is a pretty interesting field.

                We can just program yeast to incorporate a certain amount of D3, or whatever other detail of nutrition we care for, within the milk or other substance they produce.

              “it’s weird and should be more stigmatized” that seems to be making a moral claim right? I guess you never explicitly said that it’s because it’s weird that it should be stigmatized, but it certainly seemed to be structured like that.

              And ah maybe I misunderstood, what you were saying just sounds like how a lot of ppl talk about it on the vegan forums I used to regular, lmao.

                I’m not sure what triggers a moral defense there, except for the traditional context of the word “stigma”, maybe? Yeah, might have taken it one assumption too far.

                I guess you can make a moral argument against drinking milk because of factory farming infrastructure, but even with factory farming I think anyone would find it easier to argue against the mass slaughter in horrific conditions before the milk charge would make waves.

                Even though drinking xeno-boob-juice is super weird.

        Well, yes, since we already do that. And human milk is at least from our species.

              You’re trying to make it seem like drinking milk is weird because it comes from an animal other than humans. But nearly all the food anyone eats comes from something that’s not a human.

              You’re also ignoring one of the big reasons we don’t drink human milk for longer - most human mothers stop producing milk after a certain length of time, whereas cows and goats and the like produce it more regularly, for longer periods of time.

                Cows also stop producing milk naturally.

                You only think they don’t because we force-impregnate the eugenics cows to be pregnant and lactating all the time. When they have their babies, the baby is taken away immediately and the cow is force-impregnated again 6 weeks later. After a few years, the cow is killed and becomes deli meat.

                That is a strange horror show you are cheerleading for as “normal”.

                Also, stop pretending I’m saying things I’m not. It didn’t work for the others and it won’t work for you.

            Drinking milk from other species is just one of the most common weird ones and one that I don’t think we examine fundamentally often enough haha. Plus I always think it’s funny.

            I always think of that. Tom Green skit where he drank milk straight from the udder of a cow and the ostensible joke is like look how crazy this guy is that he’s willing to drink milk straight from the cow!

            But that’s basically what everybody is doing, in my head anyway whenever I see someone drinking milk. It’s fun up there, in my head.

          that’s not a good argument. Other animals doesn’t cook food or wear clothes.

          we do, since both things are older than our species, so we evolved this way. We’d die without cooking and clothes.

          domestic animals and drinking milk are a newer thing, but our species do this weird things all the time.

            We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for milk past infancy. It’s all culture and marketing.

            Just because we do those things you mentioned doesn’t mean they’re necessary. In fact, I assure you, neither clothes nor cooking are strictly necessary for an individual’s survival. They’re convenient and comfortable, but not physiologically necessary. Obviously we’d freeze in cold climates, but there are plenty of places on earth we could survive well enough without.

            We do need vitamin D to survive, but you can literally just get it directly from sunlight. The more time you spend inside, and the more thoroughly you clothe yourself, the more likely you are to need to supplement it. Simple as. You only need 30m outside 3x a week (2hrs in winter regions).

            Another funny thing about milk, is that all the natural vitamin A and D is removed in processing. They literally have to re-fortify it again, so the only reason it’s billed as this “healthy” thing is because it’s basically a lab-made liquid vitamin.

        You can get all the vitamin D you need from just 10-30 minutes midday a few times a week.

        Also, cow’s milk doesn’t naturally contain vitamin D. Vitamin D is added to cow’s milk and is even required by law in some countries (Canada and Sweden). Might as well just drink any milk alternative fortified with vitamin D.

          Fish and eggs yes. But if you eat fish all the time, you’ll find you have a different issue with mercury poisoning. Sources of vitamin D are low, so some foods and drinks get fortified with vitamin d. It isnt naturally found in anything but fish, beef liver, and egg yolk.

        If only humans could make their own vitamin D. Oh, wait

        The major natural source of vitamin D is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the lower layers of the epidermis of the skin, through a photochemical reaction of UVB light, from the sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation) or UVB lamps.

            Thanks for pointing that out.

            In the winter, only 10 percent of the body is exposed, and nearly 2 hours of sun exposure at noon is needed to produce a sufficient amount of vitamin D.

            Source

            I thought less time was required.

              So I’m supposed to be outside for two hours in -20 degree weather to get my Vitamin D just so I can survive?

        Weirder? Sure.

        What gives you the idea that eating animal meat is unintentional?

        I can think of plenty of examples of one animal eating the meat of another, but only one example of a majority of a species drinking the breast milk of another species.

        So yeah, drinking milk seems weirder to me than eating meat.

            Because you alleged that meat is not something I was intended to eat, which doesn’t really track with the uncountable natural examples of predator and prey for all of knowable history.

              Things happening have nothing to do with intentions. Your implication of milk is not intended to be consumed by humans doesn’t track with the history either. We consume milk a fuck ton in various forms over hundreds of years.

                Of course it tracks - You think that breast milk produced by cows and goats for baby cows and goats specifically is intended for human consumption? No, of course not. That animal breast milk is intended for the young of that species.

                Humans may continue to suckle at the teats of other animals, and it may continue to be common, and it will be weird.

                  That just brings back the question of how’s cow meat is intended to be eaten by you. That muscle is intended to let the cow walk and eat and reproduce. It is specifically evolved for those purposes.

        • I dont know man. Ants are farming aphids for their sugary digestive secrets aka their shit. Bears eat Honey, which to all logic remains half digested bee-spit. Praying Mantis cut off the head off their mate after mating and eat it. Anglerfish males are not the mighty toothed beasts, but weird little parasites that nist themselves in the females and eat them from the inside until the female just lays its eggs before death.

          So humans drinking other animals milk is maybe unique, but certainly not more weird than other ways of procurung nutrition, that nature invented.

            I don’t think anyone claimed drinking the breast milk of other species is the weirdest thing on the planet, but I’m not sure your examples quite hit that level, although ants and aphids is a point.

            I guess the counterpoint is that aphid secretions are nontoxic and largely sugar, while humans have fancy coffee that’s made from beans extracted from actual cat s***, and the cat s*** coffee farms are a lot weirder and more gross than an aphid farm.

            But bee honey is just dried out nectar, it isn’t even spit or vomit because there’s no bile or added secretions. It’s just dehydrated flower juice.

            As for the angler fish and praying mantis, that doesn’t seem strange at all with so many ways that evolution and reproduction have evolved.

            Milk isn’t some instinctual thing, humans know where milk comes from, know the cow has to be pregnant, and know which baby animals milk is for, and chose to build an industry around artificially impregnating cows year round, sucking the moo juice from their swollen breasts, taking away their babies after they’re born and processing them for food, then artificially impregnating the agitated mother and sucking more juice out of her for a few years until she’s worthless as a moojuice producer and is moodered for our consumption. Then there’s the hormones that we used for decades and the terrible conditions the animals live in.

            Factory farming, artificial insemination and separating families are choices that we are making to enjoy the elite privilege of drinking the lactation of other species.

            That’s still way weirder to me.

            • Milk isn’t some instinctual thing, humans know where milk comes from, know the cow has to be pregnant, and know which baby animals milk is for, and chose to build an industry around …

              Neither is bread, beer, pizza or any other processed food. Think about it, how weird it is, that humans decided to take seeds, that they cannot digest well and isntead of letting the seeds just seed, they grind them with stones and then they add water and they let it spoil and then they take the spoiled bunch and put it over a fire. And of course it couldnt stop there no! they all started to make it in different ways and when they imagined some standarized symbols they added these symbols together to describe how to do it. And they learned how to breed the seeds so they get more of the white fluffy stuff and they started playing with the dirt to dirigate water to where the seeds grow. And then they noticed the seeds to grow better when they put animal shit on them, so they did that too. And then they used the little symbols they invented, to measure how much seeds each human is growing and how much seeds they need to give to the alpha-humans and some of these alpha humans got so rich with seeds, they built themselves giant gravestones, that are still among the largest buildings to this day.

              You can describe anything that humans did since they stopped slapping bunnies with stone and collecting roots as being super weird. I share your criticism of industrialized farming, but not because it is less or more weird, but because it is detrimental to our survival and well being.

                Breaking things down to their fundamentals isn’t weird, the thing itself is weird.

                No, the development of crops is not weird. Bread is likewise not weird. Capitalism, or the hoarding of resources, is more detrimental to humans than crops or bread, but not very weird.

                Developing an industry around humans harvesting the non-essential lactation of other species meant for animal babies is much weirder than bread.

                Bread - grind seeds, add flour, add water, add heat

                Hunting rabbits - kill rabbit, process meat, add heat

                Potatoes - grow potatoes, harvest potatoes, add heat

                Milk - forcefully inseminate animals, confine the animals in filth, pump them full of chemicals and hormones, secure the cow lactation for the pleasure of the percentage of the human population that can digest cow milk instead of the animal babies it’s intended for, boil the milk because it’s dangerous for humans, kill the baby once it’s born, ignore the bleating and stress of the cow, pump them full of chemicals and hormones, artificially inseminate the cow, repeat

                Milk is definitely weirder.

                • You just arbitrarily define your level of detail.

                  Drinking milk also just started as:

                  try milk from lactating cow - realize you are able to digest it - get more milk from that cow.

                  All the rest that lead to most Europeans being lactose tolerant, which is an insane genetical success story and the subsequent refining of that process came later.

                  But maybe to help you with the seeds: A common way of breeding new seeds, that isnt specific GMO, is to radiate the seeds for random mutation. How is the following process not weird? “apply death ray to seed, get defeberated seed, see if it has any useful properties, crossbreed degenerated seed with less degenerated one until you get your right mix of degeneracy”

                  Or should we go about processing old dinosaur meat into transparent wrappings to buy our cow lactate in? Name it and i can tell you how it is weird. The process is just creative and the result is arbitrary.

          I think it only qualifies as “milk” based on its color. I don’t think it’s actually milk but I don’t know enough to commit to that answer.

            Adapted I think is a better term than evolved. Most people would be lactose intolerant if they stopped drinking milk after being weened off of breast milk.

              Eh I feel like that is semantics. If we are specific and refer to how individuals adapt to be lactose tolerant, you could still say “humans evolved to drink milk” instead in reference to how the population of humans that could adapt and become lactose tolerant grew in relation to humans that couldn’t.

          Don’t appeal to evolution, evolution is weird. Evolution just does whatever survival says. If we can survive drinking milk, evolution is cool with it. But evolution is weird, evolution will be all like “You like cows milk huh? That’s cool, have you considered shrinking down and losing your brain and most internal organs to become a nipple latching milk parasite? No? Ok, I’ll ask again later.”

      I love milk in my tea and cream in my coffee not to mention ice cream but it’s still meant for helping calfs grow quickly into cows at the same time. We are talking huge gains quickly here.

      Some argue it’s why north American kids grow up so much faster and bigger than our Asian counterparts where milk and cheese is not as huge part of their diets. The kids hit puberty sooner too as a result. That’s changing in other parts of the world as cheese and milk make their ways into the diets even in places that never understood why Americans eat so much cheese on everything.

      Low fat products created enormous sources of removed fat that could be turned into all kinds of dairy products including cheeses. It’s also heavily subsidized by government too. Dairy is so cheap in the US as a result compared to even Canada.

      I don’t guzzle milk anymore like I did as a teen due to the amount of phlegm the body can create with its consumption. I’ve never forgotten a health video years ago that equated milk to drinking a glass of puss due to the things done to cows to make commercial milk.

      I guess in my mind cheese is adjacent but not milk, but that’s just fooling myself as I eat my cheese.

      It’s a huge industry in the west and I don’t think we will ever not see how great milk is for us. A lot is dedicated to keep those consumption numbers up and I do like my dairy products.

    As a vegan, I think this is the way it should be.

    Imagine seeing a grown ass man sucking on a titty in public. Weird as fuck, yet, somehow conceivably less fucked up if it was a cow.

      Imagine seeing a grown ass man sucking on a titty in public. Weird as fuck, yet, somehow conceivably less fucked up if it was a cow.

      But presumably, the man in your hypothetical scenario is drinking milk out of a glass or a receptacle of some sort.

      If you default to visualizing breastfeeding or sucking on a cow udder when you see anyone drinking milk, that says more about you than it does the milk drinker.

        First off, I choose to visualise breastfeeding as I see fit, I even partake in it sometimes. What happens between me and my dog is none of your business.

        Second, I’m being hyperbolic for the sake of illustrating the absurdity of it. If someone was milking a cow and drinking it straight from the glass, that’s still just as weird, albeit slightly more comfortable for the consumer.

        Adding transports between the cow and the drinker doesn’t change the weirdness either.

        Drinking the lactation of a cow is weird, just as weird as drinking platypus milk.

          Then by that same token, what happens between milk drinkers and their cows is none of your business.

          Second, I’m being hyperbolic for the sake of illustrating the absurdity of it.

          That’s what I’m saying. The way you express your view on milk drinking’s absurdity is more absurd than drinking milk.

          Drinking the lactation of a cow is weird, just as weird as drinking platypus milk.

          Clearly you haven’t tried platypus milk; I take it from a glass.

          You’re free to express your opinions, of course. What I’m expressing is that your opinion is weird. To put it another way, judge all you want; don’t get too butthurt when people judge you back.

          Or, you know, mind your business.
