Kids need dairy, at least 3 servings of it a day!, in order to grow healthy and strong. It truly makes me incredibly sad when Harvard, an influential university, is putting out things like this: http://www.milksucks.com/milksuckers.html , and calls drinking milk 'milk sucking.' This is the reason children in the US are coming down with freaking rickets for pete's sake!!

I don't drink milk, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. 

I agree tt tat website is a little bit biased and extreme, but you need to realize that people don't need milk-its just something we drink for taste/nutritional benefits.  There are pleny of lactose intolerant kids without rickets in the world, so please don't generalize.

You do realize this is put on by peta, and therefor has NO MERIT what so ever?  Its like asking a pedophile for advice on babysitting children...
It's not Harvard, it's PETA spreading junk science again.

What they said.

I never liked milk as a child. I never really drank it unless I was eating a donut or a PB & J sandwich and I'm just fine.


and what are rickets btw?

Osteomalacia in children; Vitamin D deficiency; Renal rickets Rickets is a disorder primarily caused by lack of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate, which leads to softening and weakening of bones.

*sigh*

You can get minerals and vitamins from vegetables. Like arame, hiziki, broccolli(sp?), turnips and spinach. Enough with the milk pushing, drink it if you like it, don't if you don't. -_- nuff said.
Flat out hate to agree with giggle puppy, but I do.

Whenever PETA tries to feed me crap like that I feel compelled to eat a piece of steak or drink a glass of milk. The sad thing is that those campaigns influence young foolish children who become convinced veganism will make them thinner and prettier.

i am morally opposed to drinking milk, however i will admit it- that website is extremely messed up and it is actually embarrassing to have any association with it

PETA is nuts, but trust me, humans aren't dependent on cow milk. I personally enjoy dairy very much but I don't think that no kids would ever safely make it to maturity without it. ;)

ooops double negative. you get my point.

PETA is insane. They're not helping their cause; I know many veggies and vegans who are embarassed by them.
See i just know people who are embarassed by vegans and  veggies in general...

It makes me sad that I have to explain this, you are generally quicker off the mark than this. It's not the vegans that are embarrassed g_p, it's the people that know you.

I like the face your initials make incidentally.

You iz crasy

I absolutely can't stand PETA.  I think they give vegans and veggies a bad name.  They act all holier-than-thou and put out absolute crap.

Do some searches on PETA and see what the FBI has to say about them.
