Milk is good.  According to my 11th grade ‘Health’ teacher, it’s THE most perfect food.

 It cracks me up, though–there’s “skim” milk, which apparently is what ”1%” milk, 1/2% milk, and 0% milk is referred to out there.  This stuff is boiled to the extreme, robbing it of nutrient, and greatly cut with water.  You can see right through the glass it’s in.

Americans, or rather American ladies, buy the white-water by the millions of gallons every week.  Their children howl in protest, yet the little guys and gals usually can’t afford to take charge of the family grocery shopping, so they’re stuck with this frightening stuff.   Many-a husband, THANK GOD, take charge of matters, stop the insanity, and buy the ‘real and right’ stuff, the stuff that’s white in all it’s purity and richness.

To eat healthily, drink as much milk as we care to, and as much WHOLE or 2% milk as we can stomach.  Dieting?  Drink all you have,buy more, and drink it, too.  Milk is the stalwart bedrock of good nutrition. 

I was tempted to say ‘ milk builds strong bones’, an American advertising proverb since well before pails containg milk (top) and heavy cream (bottom) were delivered on back porch steps.  Ask anyone who was a child in the 40s or before–the mere mention or theory of ’skim’ milk would bring bellylaughs.

Sooo…Cut calories and fat by avoiding all the stuff you need to avoid, IF in fact you or your family needs to. 

Leave milk entirely out of any of this, though.  It’s not to blame for creating fat on anything on anybody (any body). 

Pass the bottle please.
