Humans are weird, right?

The only species to drink milk beyond infancy and not only that but not even of their own species! :s-smilie:

1. You know we really don't need cows' milk for calcium, green veg does fine--its not natural for humans to drink another animals milk hence it doesn't have to be part of our diet--and other milk almond/soy/rice etc is fortified with it as well, if you can't stomach soy try hazelnut it tastes of nutella <3
2. Also eating too much protein counters the effect of taking calcium as the protein acidifies the blood and so the body takes calcium from the bones to try and neutralise it
3. Are you sure it's a calcium deficiency that's causing your cramps, could be an imbalance of a number of nutrients and possibly too much calcium is making it worse?

And use it to create a whole load of other products too..... Including Frozen ones.

Rarely, I wouldn't drink a glass by itself randomly. I have it in tea of course, and will drink a class of milk to counteract particularly hot food.

Eh ants farm aphids for honeydew.

There's the point of capacity to do so, other species also don't mass farm mammals as a food source as we can, if they had the opportunity they might consume milk as well.

I drink at least a pint of milk a day and have done so for as long as I can remember...and that doesn't include what I put in my tea. I might be addicted. :ashamed2:

lol I was sort of making a joke at your username. I know right about the dried powder thing. As a vegan (don't hate me) it's the bane of my life.

The coconut collective do great coconut dairy free ice cream and it is yummmm. I used to be big into fro yo but since veganism entered my life it's no longer an option. Nor is milk. Apart from soya and almond milk etc. Trouble is, no other milk tastes anything like as good as cows milk. But soya hot choc and almond milk porridge are fine :smile:

. I'm a vegan for health reasons not ethical so the self control is sometimes harder. especially because now all I'm thinking about thanks to this thread is ice cold semi skimmed milk.

Yep, I drink milk on its own sometimes. To be honest, I didn't think there was anything wrong with that until looking at this thread...
Oh well, that makes me who I am. :colondollar:

I love milk and dairy in general but I guess I'm slightly allergic to it cause I can only drink/eat really small quantities. One scope of ice cream kind of quantity
