    If you want to memorize the FIVE KEYS OF THE SMITH SYSTEM OF SAFE DRIVING, just memorize this phrase:

    “All Good Kids Love Milk.”

    That stands for:

    1. Aim high

    2. Get the big picture

    3. Keep your eyes moving

    4. Leave yourself an out

    5. Make sure they see you

    So you’re saying milk is merely tolerating all those other foods with which it’s built up a relationship: cookies, chocolate cake, and the whole slew of coffee-related beverages?

    …of course MILFs do…

    …blond joke punchline: “No, just up to my knees,”…

    …Oreos say, “Shut up!”…

    …Nestle’s Quick pout, “Hey!”…

    …how to stop species from extinct?…

    …eat them…

    …milk them…

    …wear them…

    …stop cows from coming extinct: devour them…

    …this is not necessarily the opinion of Frog Applause or of its author…

    Milk need’s to be reminded of all the times there was the co-mingling of bodily fluids with egg, and with sugar and spice no less.

    Mechanically expressed, separated, reconstituted and packaged for distribution . . . friends would just get in the way.

    Now, yesterday’s examples of a toot . . . those need friends, or they go unenjoyed!

    Drink your milk, and enjoy my toot’s unfurling!

    A study of two large populations of Swedish men and women suggests that a sizable intake of milk was associated with higher risk of death and with a higher risk of fractures in women (but not in men). The associations appeared to be stronger in women than men. The study, published in the British Medical Journal, tracked 106,000 Swedish men and women for up to 23 years. The researchers added that we should be cautious in interpreting the results because of the nature of the study, which cannot prove causality.

    The researchers suspect that the lactose found in milk is the source of the problem because other fermented dairy products, such as yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk and cheese, did not produce the same result. A byproduct of the digestion of the lactose is called D-galactose. This byproduct can increase oxidative stress, which has been linked to aging, cardiovascular disease and cancer in animals. As people age, their natural ability to balance oxidative stress is reduced, compounding the imbalance. In a subset of participants in both studies they found that milk intake was positively associated with 8‑iso‑PGF2α (an oxidative stress marker in the urine) in both sexes, and with serum interleukin 6 (a marker of systemic inflammation) in men.

    That’s quite the haughty statement for a commoner with such humble beginnings. Who do you think put you where you are today? Teats have wept for you. Show a little respect.

    And milk doesn’t have a friend, here. I never, since coming of age, drink milk straight. I do like milkshakes and malted milk, but that’s about as far as it goes.

    Yog[h]urt is good, as are many cheeeses, It’s not dairy to which I object, just milk itself….

    Cattle are the No. 1 agricultural source of greenhouse gases worldwide. Each year, a single cow will belch about 220 pounds of methane. Methane from cattle is shorter lived than carbon dioxide but 28 times more potent in warming the atmosphere, said Mitloehner, a professor and air quality specialist in the Department of Animal Science.

    Thirteen states have “food libel laws” that make it easier for food producers (including dairy producers) to sue their critics for libel. Some “allow for punitive damages and attorney’s fees for plaintiffs alone, regardless of the case’s outcome.”

    Milk itself may not have friends, but “Big Milk” has a huge, floppy udder on the scales of justice in these states.
