A poll: Do you drink Milk?

In My Humble Opinion
21

Yes, why do you ask?

22

Yes, in cereal, or along with brownies or cookies or some other food that begs for milk. It must be skim milk, it must be very cold, and it must not be even one day past the sell-by date on the carton.

23

1.) Nope. Not since I spit out my bottle for the last time ( but see below ).

2.) I just don’t find it appealing straight in the natural state. Mind you, I DID use to drink chocolate milk and slurp down the stuff with breakfast cereal. I don’t have an actual aversion to cow squeezings per se. I just don’t have any interest in downing a glass right from the carton.

24

  1. On cereal. I don’t drink it straight.

  2. I think it tastes gross. I haven’t drunk it since I was a child.

25

I drink it occasionally, and use it on cereal, which I eat at least once a day.
But it has to be Lactaid or something similar. Regular milk makes me gassy like you would not believe.

26

Yes, I love a drink of milk, especially in the summer.

27

Yes, usually with breakfast. I like milk. But I won’t drink any crappy chocolate milk.

28

  1. Alas, no.

  2. I love milk, but after a lifetime of dealing with eczema and asthma and scoffing at being told that it might be caused by a sensitivity to dairy products (as if!), I finally cut all dairy out of my diet to see what would happen. Much to my horror, the dairy was the thing. Sigh. I haven’t had a glass of milk since.

29

Yes, I think sweet stuff like cookies or pie demands milk, preferably locally-produced whole milk. I didn’t realize what I was missing until I discovered the local dairy in the place where I used to live, and fortunately there’s one here, too.

30

Not much.

First of all, I’m lactose intolerant.

Second of all, we used to just have soy milk in the house. Then, my wife started having some thyroid issues, so she brought back milk, instead of soy.

Sometimes, I chug a few ounces from the container, but if I have much more, I’ll get a slightly upset stomach.

I kind of like the idea of drinking another species milk. Seems like a nice way to share. I wish I could drink it a little more.

I use yogurt with my cereal.

31

Yes. It does a body good.

32

Yes I do, but whole milk makes my stomach hurt so I drink the fancy percentaged kinds of milk.

33

I use skim Lactaid (not an endorsement, just a statement) on my cereal and have it with cookies, but that’s about it. I’m not a milk drinker.

I’m not a milk drinker because I’m lactose intolerant and if I drink whole milk (my parents still do) I’ll have the world’s worst gas and other digestive upsets. Not pleasant.

34

I almost never drink it.

I consider it something for newborns.

35

Nope.

One day, a day I clearly remember, I picked up an iced latte and something in me said “Nope, don’t put that stuff in me any more.” Ever since then my body has not been able to recognize it as “food” and it even grosses me out if someone I’m about to kiss has drank milk recently because I can see and smell it on them. (Ugh.)

I’m not lactose intolerant, because I can eat cheese, but it aggravates my hay fever so I largely stay away from that too.

You can have my probiotic yogurt when you pry it from my cold, dead hands, tho.

36

Yes, 2%. Every day, in tea, and whenever I eat cereal. It goes well with cookies and other sweet baked goods.

37

Yes. I drink it with most meals, and also with cereal and coffee. I love the taste and would drink the highest fat stuff available if I dared, but stick to 1% or 2%. I cannot abide skim except in lattes, where I can’t tell the difference once it’s all whipped up.

38

Rarely. I drink it with cookies, or maybe donuts. I sometimes put it on cereal. But I so rarely have any of these.

39

I used to drink it regularly. Then I started eating low-carb so I got out of the habit of milk (and cereal and cookies and cake et al, all which require milk). I did always drink skim milk, though.

Then I ceased eating that way, but at the same time moved in to my own home and no longer had the de-facto gallon of milk in the fridge, and just never thought to buy it.

Every so often I buy it, but I drink it way too fast, and am too cheap to continually spend the $2 for the half gallon.

So, I don’t drink milk regularly but I would love to.

  1. No*

  2. Lactose Intolerance/I don’t care for the taste.
    *I do drink lactose-free milk from time-to-time but only if I’m taking a medication that requires it.
