Ladies - So I just posted this link on the health and fitness board and thought I would share it here too. A gal was asking about soy vs. skim milk and many ladies said they drink soy for ethical reasons. I had to prop the health benefits of skim and also volunteer that info that I (and most farmers) love our cows and treat them well.
Little known fact - we actually work with a nutrition consultant to make sure that our cows have the best nutrition and balanced diets they can. Just one example of how ours cows are more spoiled than me! Wish I had a nutrition consultant.
Thanks for reading my 2 cents on dairy cows!
Re: Got Milk?
I drink only real milk!
I tried soy for a time when I was on Weight Watchers, since it was fewer calories but, the concerns about artificial estrogens made me switch back fairly quickly.

Meag - I've always liked the glass of milk with dinner. Yes, it's a little bit elementary school, but then again it is good for you and it fills you up at the same time so that you eat less!
I also like the real milk vs. soy, and for one am glad to hear that the cows get special cow diets too
I like my milk just like I like my meat
People always ask me about giving my daughter soy milk...ummm now. That stuff is gross, if I dont think it taste good I am not going to give it to her.
She used to have to drink goats milk instead of formula but now she is good w/drinking real milk from the pretty cows!
guess i'm the odd one out.
I love dairy, but it doesn't love me.
I drink soy milk but I eat yogurt and cheese in small amounts too. once in a while if I'm at somone else's place (like this morning here at my sister's) I will eat cereal with real milk, because it doesnt make sense to go buy some soy milk for one meal.
but at home, soy milk all the way.
