Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

You know, I more and more find myself loathe to comment on such people.
I just cannot escape the feeling that most of them are suffering from some sort of mental illness.
Science is wasted on some people.
Before science was developed, superstition ruled, and ruined many people’s lives.
For the anti-milk crowd, the A.G.W. crowd, the 9/11 truthers, the Islamist Jihaidis, everything is a conspiracy.
Witchcraft or Science, take your pick and live with the consequences.
That lady strikes me as an idiot. Milk may not be a panacea but it isn’t bad unless you’re lactose intolerant. What motivates retards like her?
I do feel a bit sorry for her. I can visualize the confusion in her mind when someday she’s lying in her deathbed and dying of……nothing.
scar wrote “What motivates retards like her?”
Fear. And ignorance. And on realising that others are just as afraid and as ignorant, power.
I occasionally go into a local health food store to buy beeswax for homemade bullet lube. I’m always amused by how sickly everyone there looks. The older people are all losing their hair and teeth, look drawn and worn, and have a complexion that is damn near corpse-like. And they are in their 30s. The high school kids working the store all wonder why the infections around their piercings won’t heal. Arguably, the persistent inflammation around their various holes is the only thing giving them some colour.
Kate keeps writing that we need a famine. I agree: leave these people to their own devices.
Milk is for calves
Broccoli is for ungulates too – point?
We disagree.
That’s funny.
I consume milk all the time and I feel great.
I’m also not a nutty anti-foodie.
People like this should relegated to psych wards or street corners.
Not if it’s goat’s milk.
I won’t tell you you should drink milk if you won’t tell me I shouldn’t.
Funny, both my parents were raised on farms back way, WAY before there was any sort of advertising campaign for milk.
It was what you DRANK, other than well or lake water.
There was no pop, no orange juice, maybe apple juice (except maybe for special treats: my dad will tell you how happy he was to get a single orange for Christmas).
Now, mom has bone issues, related mostly to arthritis and being a cleaning woman for 30 years, not anything to do with milk.
Dad is 84 today, still looks after his 97 acres (although he doesn’t see the full property these days). He did break a hip a few years ago during an ice storm.
They told him he needed to spend 6 weeks in the hospital. He left after a week…
Yeah, milk is really, really bad for you.
A few years ago those idiots from PETA sued over a HAPPY COWS ad and their phonie group PCRM and the CSPI tried to se to have stupid warning labels put on milk cartons about Colon Cancer and milk cosumption the stupid lawsuits was tossed out by a judge. I mean these peoples ideas of animals must come from those stupid animatronic talking animal movies(Babe.Babe II,Gordy etc)they watch all the time and justa few months ago a judge in Calirnia overturned the states stupid ban on Foie Gras
I hate milk, but admit to warming up to it after reading this.
In my teen years, I used to drink milk by the jug…which was more appetizing than broccoli.
Buying milk for my son, now about 6’8″, was always a losing proposition.
Still go through about 6 jugs a week in a family of four.
Been supporting our local dairy farmers fer ages, so far I haven’t “calcified’.

Our ancestors figured out by empirical methods that milk was good for ya….much like they established removing the head causes the body to die.
These anti-dairy fools may as well attempt to repeal the Law of Gravity……..
I think milk agrees with some people and does not agree with others. Some of this may be related to being lactose intolerant, but I think there is more to it. Nordic people seem to thrive on milk — Chinese people, not so much. I do not drink milk because I dislike it. I do think, however, we should get past the notion that it is important for everyone to drink milk. I feel rather sorry for the little old ladies who feel they must down a glass of milk for healthy bones. I once read in a nutrition book that milk leeches calcium from your bones, so it is like driving with a foot on the brakes — you are taking calcium in, but also losing it based on whatever milk does to leech calcium. If you look into lactose intolerance, you will also find that there are a couple of different strains of milk and it is one particular type that seems to result in lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, I think it may be a prevalent type in North America. In Europe I believe they have less of a problem with this.
Lactose intolerance, in most cases, is cr@p. Doctors trying to make bucks from pharmaceuticals. So breast milk should be bad? She is saying cow’s milk, which has fed millions, is worse then breast milk? This “woman” has a definite problem. And LindaL…I know tons of Chinese who eat cheese with no problem.
Bottom line…if you or your line have not evolved enough to eat anything….tough tittie.
Good grief.
She lost me with getting vitamin D from sun and mushrooms. The vitamin D in mushrooms is vitamin D2: we need vitamin D3. In Canada, the UVB in sunlight is effective for production of vitamin D only about 3-4 months of the year, around noon, and not much if it is cloudy, hazy or in a large city. It is a big reason why Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. So let’s discourage consumption of vitamin D3 fortified milk.
The idea that the dietary source of calcium makes a big difference to calcium transport into bones is simplistic. Activation of calcium transport also requires retinol (animal form of vitamin A) and vitamins K2 and D3. So taking calcium supplements without retinol, K2 and D3 is ineffective, especially with excess calcium. Grain-feeding dairy instead of grass-feeding reduces retinol, K2 and D3, so that is a bit of a concern. But it just means other foods need to top up the required nutrients. Broccoli has calcium but no retinol, K2 or D3, so broccoli is hardly better. The Japanese traditionally didn’t drink much milk but they learned to ferment natto beans for K2. Areas in Japan where natto is popular have far fewer hip fractures among the elderly.
And then the studies of the human genome have identified the mutation on chromosome 2 for adult lactose tolerance is the the most strong selected gene in the uniquely human genome. Plainly milk consumption conferred a significant adaptive advantage.
But these are all facts. Mustn’t let them get in the way of a compelling narrative. Imagine spending all that time working on a book and lacking a headline at the end of it.
I don’t drink milk, not for any particular reason. I do however love dairy products. I would put cream of everything if I wasn’t concerned about being a fat tubbalard. What burns me, is the absolutely extortionate price we pay for cheese. Everywhere else in the world cheese is peasant food because it’s cheap. You don’t have to kill your cows to make cheese. Only in Canada would a piece of medium quality cheese be more expensive than the best beef, and best quality cheese is a luxury item. Thank you milk marketing board.
Just as stupid as PETA urging BEN & JERRY to use human milk in their Ice Cream well I HATE BEN & JERRY and i HATE PETA TO. This ding-bat must have had their brains sucked out
She looks kind of young to have both her parents deceased. Not what I expected after the nostalgic trip down the whole/raw foods memory lane of her childhood. I hated milk as a kid and would do anything to avoid it. Her experience with dairy may be more common than she thinks, but her need to dictate her preferences to others is annoying.
“I would put cream of everything if I wasn’t concerned about being a fat tubbalard.”
Eat all the cream you want, no need to be concerned.
Carbohydrates trigger your insulin response, insulin causes triglyceride storage in your fat cells, therefore carbohydrates make you fat not eating actual fat.
Fat is good food.
We drink gallons of milk and use 3-4 litres of whipping cream per week in my household.
When I’m home I use milk as I eat cereal/porridge. When I’m not home which is about 2/3rds of the time I never drink milk. I enjoy a good Stilton as much as the next person and I put sour cream on my spuds but like Linda I think the importance of dairy is oversold. If you like it – go for it. If you don’t that’s okay to.
It’s probably neither as good for you as the dairy lobby would have you believe or as bad as the detractors suggest.
The East Indians here on the Left Coast all going to die (and soon). They buy it by the multiple shopping carts full. Ignorant louts.
I think the rule is don’t drink everything you can squeeze from a cow. Maybe she got mixed up.
In my Toronto-area high school classroom, on the first day of class, I was always able to identify the vegetarian/vegan students. I verified this in casual private conversations later in the semester. They were always pale, sad-looking, the only students wearing sweaters when the temperature was warm, often sniffling, and absent more often.
Milk has never made me sick. Unlike the look of her eyebrows. They are freaky!
PETA GO AWAY,PCRM GO AWAY,JEREMY RIFKIN GO AWAY,ALEC BALDWIN PAMELA ANDERSON GO AWAY,JAMES CROMWELL GO AWAY and especialy ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS GO AWAY
….I think the rule is don’t drink everything you can squeeze from a cow. Maybe she got mixed up….
LMAO.!
Too True.! just look at this anemic underfed stretched skin scarecrow…
meh, I drink a quart of skim a day…easy.
I use Butter – not engine oil
I eat real cheese – not regurgitated coloured wax
And will continue to do so…thank you very much.
