PETA...'Nuff said

He wasn't trying to be literal. He was just stating to be funny and maybe state that he drinks soda.

I do not belong to PETA but I understand some of thier points.

This part of their argument is valid.
The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America's leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow's milk to children, saying it may play a role in anemia, allergies, and juvenile diabetes and in the long term, will set kids up for obesity and heart disease-America's number one cause of death.

Humans aren't meant to drink other animal's milk for long periods of time. No I am not a vegan and yes I do eat meat. However I do believe in the fair treatment of farm animals and not giving our children hormones that make 12 year old girls look like they are 19 years old.

Here is another site to support the dangers of Cow's milk,

Yes... milk is Mother Nature's "perfect food" ...for a calf... until it is weaned.

Everything you know about cow's milk and dairy is probably part of a Dairy industry MYTH.

Cow's milk is an unhealthy fluid from diseased animals that contains a wide range of dangerous and disease-causing substances that have a cumulative negative effect on all who consume it.

MILK'S BASIC CONTENTS

*ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol.

My exact opinion!

Save a cow. Eat a vegan.

HA! ...but cows taste so much better. Vegan's don't have enough meat on them!

I have a 10 month old so I have read all the things about the harmful risks of milk. For the most part, the studies are talking about not giving your child cow's milk until after 18-24 months.
We are talking about ice cream here. Last I checked, most people eating ice cream were over 2 years old so I'm not sure how valid the health issue is here.

Yeah I have heard of that as well, having a 1 1/2 yo and a 3 month old. But actually their doctor, who is extremely knowledgeable and up on all the studies (and young, very progressive/new agey, and basically just paranoid in general), recommended we start giving my oldest daughter whole milk shortly after she turned one. I grew up drinking 2% or whole milk every meal until I was about 8 or 9 and I'm one of the overall healthiest people I've ever met....I can probably count on one hand how many times I've actually been sick (not just allergies) in my entire life.

There's something we can agree on. Blow my mind, why don'tcha?

I suddenly have an overwhelming urge to be a dairy farmer
