Milk is for babies. Cows’ milk is even weirder because it’s for baby cows.

For some reason back during the mid to late 2010s Peterson types tried to make milk manly and cool again. I guess it was to make fun of soy, the misconception being that soy is ‘feminizing’ or some other superstition that’s long been disproven (also, bro, cows milk comes from cow boob and is full of actual mammal estrogen so it’s probably more feminizing than soy anyway.)

But old-timey people knew what was up with milk. Milk is lame. Milk is for babies.

Go shit your pants, milk drinker lmao.

    I drink milk, it’s hard for me to eat enough to keep my weight up and a glass is like 160 calories, full of fat, sugar and protein, and has random dietary shit i sometimes worry about being deficient in like iodine

        I’m in a similar boat. Congratulations on your weight loss! I had to have bariatric surgery to get my eating under control, so I know how immensely challenging it is.

        Because of my surgery, it’s just not possible to be vegan. I have to get 60g of protein per day and can only fit about 1 cup of food in my stomach at a time. It’s just not possible to get that much protein in the amount of vegan food I can fit in my stomach.

        I can have protein based milk alternatives like soy milk and I’m also a big fan of tofu, but meat is just a lot more protein dense. I’ve just accepted that I’m going to die if meat or vitamins become unavailable in the future.

        I’ll never forget the time I decided to share my joy with Hexbear over having lost 150+lbs after struggling with my weight - and correlating severe depression - trying about a dozen weight loss methods for more than a decade… and then got bullied for not being able to tackle this insurmountable challenge of my life while being vegan about it, lol.

        cat-trans congrats on that. sorry some people are feral here. eating issues are awful, i have some of my own but on the opposite end of it, im way too tiny. totally recommend blocking the vegan comm if you got food triggers

      Fr it’s a big deal for people with weight and anxiety issues. Though I’ve recently been buying vegan meals replacement shakes in bulk and packing the powder in the freezer. Comes out slightly more expensive than milk but has a better nutritional profile

      Really wish they got better subsidies and I could buy it in a jug
