oh and why not?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
milk is bad... then answer this

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I've talked about it many times. read up.md3sign said:
Are you guys aware that you can drink lactose-free milk? I have an extremely high level of lactose intolerance because I used to drink normal milk as a kid (my parents found out I was lactose intolerant when I was already 7 yrs old) and it fùcked me up. However, now I drink like 3 liters of lactose-free milk a day and I'm perfectly comfortable with that.
No lactose free milk isn't good for you.
No milk, however processed or unprocessed, is good for you. It's poison for your digestive system.
It's for infant cows, not humans. There is so much research out there for people interested in preserving their health. Try google for info, there's just too much to post here.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Whole milk and associated products with high 'butter fat' have alot of cholesterol and saturated fat.
Their was movement years ago to drink " 1% or less." Their is no reason to drink milk with more than 1% milk fat, skim is better.
Some arguement that it has some antibiotics and other 'hormones."
The enzyme lactase is produced by most babies, then the enzyme is no longer made beyond a certain young age. Most individuals (Not all) of Northern European & Slavic descent seem to continue to produce the enzyme throughout their lifetime, has something to do with the intimate association consuming milk products for many generations.

Actually it's the butterfat that makes milk products digestable hence why few people have problems with cheese (which I eat in large amounts because I'm weak like that). I can eat cheddar all day long but give me a glass of skim milk and well.. it gets messy. 
As for antibiotics and other hormones, it's true that commercial dairies inject their produce with such, hence why children brought up on cow's milk have weak immune systems (and then get further prescribed antibiotics by doctors! lol). And this is to say nothing of the blood and fecal matter that makes its way into the milk we drink.

counterpoint to the thesis that "milk is poison"... if you're lactose tolerant, it absolutely is not. in fact, in some populations it appears to have given such a reproductive advantage that lactose tolerant individuals left TEN times as many descedents in some cases & the gene spread very rapidly.

Don't drink milk if you're lactose intolerant.

Think about this for a second... milk is one of the few substances out there that we consume that is specifically designed for consumption by a mammal. Most of the other stuff we consume is not "intended" for us to consume. Many of the most healthy foods for us (I'm particularly thinking here of leafy greens) do their damndest to poison us, but we've developed adaptations to make them digestible!manuva said:

I've always had skim milk with my protein shakes. I don't see what the big deal is about milk and what not.
