haven't for years. I won't eat ice cream either.

Seems disgusting to me.

Milk. ugh.

Do you disagree or agree?

1. I do, but I let the distributor pasteurize then bottle it first...
The direct form of approach you suggest isn't that appealing... :rofl:

2. Disagree.
I like drinking stuff that comes out of nipples...I mean udders.

3. Ick. Heck no.
I do drink soy milk and eat soy and rice based ice creams though, they don't leave that nasty film and they aren't products of cruelty and torture.

Of course, I'm allergic to cows' milk anyhow.

4. Yes, I do. I love milk.
Though I don't actually drink it right out of the udder, since I prefer it chilled.

6. Disagree - udders are fine, it's the other spigots that I avoid...
That's just me, however, YMMV...

And it's really cute when kittens and cats hang around waiting for a squirt...

8. Milk is unnatural once you are weaned & cats are just contrary.

11. Yummy
Another (former) cheesehead here.

Milk is happy food - milk and cookies, shakes and malts, a bowl of apple jacks before bed, and so on.

I'm an ice cream nut, and not the healthy crap either. I want Hagen Daz or Ben and Jerry's.

I always keep 1 lb of real butter around the house, as well as unsalted for cooking. Cooking with margarine is out of the question.

Cheeeeeeeeese. I like nearly all kinds. Been trying more goat cheeses as well.

Cows serve other purposes as well. The sport of cow tipping as an example. Cows are also excellent predictors of rain in the next 2 to 12 hours. If they are all laying down, rain is a'coming. If half are laying down, 50% chance, and so on. I defy anyone to prove the highly paid forecaster on TV is any more accurate.

13. Disagree.
:shrug:

If only the Hershey's syrup could be bred into one of the udders, I'd mix some milk straight from the cow and slurp away.

14. All milk contains some amount of pus. US milk is the worst offender.




Just google "milk pus."



Eeewwwwww.

18. Agree.
Blech.

And, no, I don't like ice cream either. (But I confess that I worked in an ice cream shop for years--the smell is just a huge turn-off to me.)

21. What makes you think all pizza has cheese, let alone dairy cheese
One can certainly make pizza with fake cheese or none at all, both taste good and the pizza's much less greasy.

25. Whatever.
Coagulated cow pus is fucking nasty, and it drowns out all the other flavors.

22. Me either. I find the stuff to be revolting. But then, I'm only half white
which probably explains my position on drinking cows' milk.

I havent consumed liquid cow milk in 15 years. I just had some goat chevre with dinner though, but that's different. :loveya:

Milk is nasty, beer is great!

26. What comes out of the cow's udder doesn't bother me....
...what's pumped into the cow and how it's processed afterwards does.

If I drink milk I try my best to get Organic Milk but lately I've been drinking mainly low-fat Chocolate Soy Milk

28. I'll eat ice cream and cheese, but very rarely straight cow's milk
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but I do prefer the taste of soy milk to cow's milk. If I do drink cow's milk, it's only when I finish a bowl of cereal.

29. I've had enough of this shit
I don't drink cereal that has been left to ferment with yeast which, if you think about it, is way more icky than drinking milk. But have you heard me complain about beer drinkers? So I've got an idea. Why don't you all just SHUT THE FUCK UP and live and let live?

31. I do, but...
I'm not that big of a fan. If I drink milk, it's usually with some sort of dessert- a cookie, something chocolate, etc. If I drink it alone, I've usually added chocolate flavor to it. I rarely crave a nice glass of milk or want to drink it with a meal or anything. Plus, I think I'm slightly lactose intolerate 'cause if I drink more than a small amount it makes my stomach feel funny.

So yeah, I'm not much of a milk fan, but I don't avoid it flat-out. And I definitely don't avoid ice cream!

32. It is disgusting.
My opinion, so I agree with you. I won't touch the stuff either. Besides, I'm sort of against the veal industry, which by and large wouldn't exist if not for the dairy industry.

34. I do with a strange twist...
Milk must come from a single serving. I refuse to touch a gallon (the crusty shit has to fall back in). I will drink a pint if it hasn't ever been exposed to oxygen. I love tit snot if they made cheese with it.
