Poll: Do you like milk?

[Jharry5]

I don't like it by itself. But in tea and on cereal, I can tolerate it...

 

[Lullabye]

y....y.....n....ummm....only cow milk.

Do none of you know that the human body isn't supposed to be able to digest bovine lactation? It was only recently in our evolutionary history where a mutation occurred that allowed the human digestive system to break it down all the way into adulthood.

Anyone who is lactose intolerant is actually normal, meaning without that particular mutation.

A recent evolutionary step is still an evolutionary step. The fact that most of the population carries the gene that allows this digestion would suggest that it is a genetically favourable adaption. Your point is ridiculous. I suppose you're still on first generation consoles, because everything that came after them would be abnormal, right?

Goodness that's a strangely hostile reaction to that individual's post, they were just noting an interesting historical fact.

 

[Forever of the Stars]

Yes

I've never seen "The Breakfast Club", but this conversation reminds me of it somehow.

Yeah, my entire family is pretty much addicted to milk. With my dad, I sometimes find myself wondering if there's a milk rehab program available for him...

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

Love it! I mostly drink skim, which is my favourite, so whenever I go to a friend's and they have 1%, I am in awe of how white the milk is.

 

[Voodoomancer]

The power of Calcium!

 

[Claptrap]

I like it in cornflakes/tea, But other then that im not too keen on it.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I don't like it plain, but with other stuff, it's good.

PETA?

OT: I hate milk unless it's chocolate.

I wasn't going for hostile, I was aiming to counter-point the claim that the majority of the human race aren't normal. Using the highly relatable (on this website) example of the evolution of consoles, I had hoped to demonstrate his premise was flawed.

 

[Spitfire175]

Yes, very much. At least 0,5 litres a day for me.

 

[ctf1990]

Yes i love milk

...which is kinda ironic because i have a very low allergic reaction to it

 

[Becoming Insane]

Milk is yum, unless it's skim, in which case it's more like milk-flavored water that has the capability to curdle.

Also, Banananananana milk is the best ever.

EDIT: This is, of course, assuming the milk is bovine in origin.

 

[gremily]

Can't get enough of the stuff.

Besides it tastes nasty, liquid fat, pus, and sweat. gross.

fix'd, and yes I do, but only room temperature. For some reason...

Ah, well now it depends on what population you're talking about. Among individuals of European descent I'm pretty sure that the majority of the population can digest milk proteins through adulthood, but there are many other populations in the world where this ability is fairly rare.

I wasn't saying that its a bad thing. In fact you're right, its a healthy beneficial mutation. I was simply saying lactose intolerant don't have a problem, they're not... how do i say... broken. I was just letting people know a little more about it.

And i don't buy mutated consoles within each gen. I never bought a PSX, or a PS2 slim, or a DS Lite, or DSI. I never bought an xbox360 Elite. I don't buy different species, but i do keep up with the genus.

 

[RanD00M]

Yes.But mostly only with cookies,cakes and sandwiches.
