Ever wonder why your mom made you drink so much milk as a kid? Turns out the answer is a lie.

The idea that fully grown adult humans need to be breast fed by cows was always weird to me.

If milk is a lie then why did my dad go to get it?

Here is a quote that I will recite here for entertainment purposes. "Make no mistake, pasteurization was never about healthier milk. It was all about flipping the business from the Milkman to the grocery store, making the sale of raw milk illegal solidified the deal... & you can take that to the bank...

THIS explains why the majority of "Leave It to Beaver" episodes from the 1950s include Wally and the Beaver drinking milk AND sometimes even talking about it. Ice cream, too. There's even an episode where mom, June Cleaver, swigs down a big glass... which has always struck me as peculiar. Finally, an explanation for one of my favorite old shows! Thank you ❤🎉

People easily accept that the government lied in the past but don't think it does it now. I always ask "when did the officials stop lying?"

When I was homeless and strung out on drugs I think milk was the only thing that kept me alive. Lol. Whole milk. Red cap. I drank it and not much else and survived.. so therefore I am greatful to milk. I don't drink it much anymore, but I'll never forget what it has done for me. ❤️

Had the opportunity to try raw milk. I regularly drink gallons of milk A week, but have begun to slow way down. The processed milk is so much like water. But the raw milk was sweet and rich, and filling. I could only drink a fraction of the raw milk before I was full.

I think context is crucial. Mr Harris makes some great points here but it’s worth thinking about what you’re drinking instead. Realistically its the 2nd healthiest drink after water - fruit juice and smoothies are sooo full of sugar (eating fruit let’s you take the sugar in slowly and chewing sets of a whole load of processes that prepare your body for what’s coming), refined sugar is bad and any sweetener (even ‘natural’ sweeteners) are ultra-processed, and our bodies aren’t at all adapted to deal with something that tastes like sugar (which upon tasting may for example cause the body to raise insulin levels) but actually isn’t. Best drink water, 2nd best milk, then comes everything else

We literally studied the "Got Milk" marking campaign in one of my Uni marketing classes in the past week and I was like I wish there was someone who's videos I like watching makes something related to milk and then bingo this man comes in clutch!!

Omg, this finally explains it. When I was growing up as a kid I was always wondering “why in Hollywood movies and shows Americans drink milk all the time?”. In shops you can buy a GALLON of milk and that’s SHITLOAS of milk. Our packaging in Eastern Europe goes up to 2L which is almost half a gallon.

Just a thought... getting a child to drink a glass of milk to get 300mg of calcium is way easier than trying to get them to eat a 100g of almonds. I can get calcium from cabbage if I wanted to, but I'd have to eat a shitload of it to get even nearly the same amount (oxylates in cabbage bond with calcium, thus reducing the amount available for absorbtion) So yes, you can get calcium from other sources but do remember that it's the ease of ingestion as well as nutrient density that also play a major factor.

I found out that I have been allergic to cow's milk all my life. My doctor told me that is the reason most people get allergies later in life. Being introduced to cow's milk in the diet as a baby when the immune system isn't mature enough to handle it.

In my childhood I had gas so bad I thought I would explode. I was in tears and my mom consulted with experts and doctors and they said I was swallowing air when I was eating and they taught me how to blow air out when taking a spoon full of food. It turns out, it was just milk. I ate cereal and milk daily, massive amounts.

If you think this is bad now apply this same idea to the pharmaceutical industry and how they are so concerned for our health 😂

Great video! I am so glad that we are in the "oat/almond/coconut milk era" since I also grew up in the 90's where milk was waiting in the table right before school and lactose intolerance wasn't in the dictionary.

🤯 mind blown. My husband called our firstborn daughter “government cheese“ because he thought she was kind of lazy because she really enjoyed letting other people do things for her. I mean, just from infancy to like 2. 😆 but knowing origins is crazy. Fing govt

It really was insane how hard schools pushed students to drink milk. A couple years ago, during the peak of the pandemic, I chose to go back to school in person. I should mention this was an optional choice, and most kids chose to stay virtual. Yet, it seemed like the school didn’t adjust the the amount of milk they were ordering. Grabbing a milk box became mandatory at lunchtime, I tried every day to refuse it, knowing I wouldn’t drink it and that it would be wasted. One day the lunch lady just straight up said “Look I know your lactose intolerant, just take the milk and throw it in the trash.” (I’m not even lactose intolerant but I guess she assumed I was since I kept trying to refuse the milk, I just think it’s crazy that the school was encouraging me to waste it.)

The worst thing about modern "American" (I'm Australian and we have much the same problem) milk was watching you pour the milk from the carton and seeing how thin watery and see through it is. proper milk isn't like that, but what they put in the bottle has already had most of the good stuff stripped out for cream butter and cheese production. Just like Kraft cheese is a pale imitation of proper real cheese.
