I quite like milk as a treat but I really don't think it has the nutritional value that some of you think it has. And yeah, it's for making babies fat so that's kinda off-putting for me. Alpro soya milk and their coconut milk are nice alternatives if any of you want to give up the unhealthy obsession with the cow stuff.
I didn't say it was.
Acquired taste maybe. Lovely on nutty cereals.
No, I didn't.
But I've read that it does contain all nine essential amino acids, so if that's what you're after post-ride then it's perfect.

[QUOTE 3123109, member: 45"]What's wrong with drinking milk?[/QUOTE]
Google something like "cows milk, blood and pus" and check out the results. Now even if there's not an ounce of truth in any of it, I'd still rather take the non-cows milk option for the majority of the time. It's become so normal to drink animal milk that we don't even think about the weirdness of it, the dairy industry is so huge and so misleading in terms of health and nutrition, not to mention dairy farming being fairly barbaric... Yeah there are probably one or two benefits of drinking cows milk but not on the scale that most of us have been brainwashed to believe.

Nice alternatives are just that, nice alternatives. And unhealthy OBSESSION, which is what most of us have, doesn't actually mean unhealthy product. Am I really having to point out basic English to you? I didn't suggest it was healthy in that post. You assumed it from my wording, wrongly.
