Ok, I quit drinking cow's milk and now drink soy milk. The purpose of cow's milk is to take a baby cow from birth to 600 pounds in a year! I am not a baby cow, even though I'm well on my way to 600 pounds. lol But seriously, there are so many growth hormones in cow's milk naturally, much less the residue of hormones the cow's are injected with by greedy commercial farming operations. It is unnatural for us to be drinking cow's milk! BABY COWS DON'T EVEN DRINK IT AFTER THEY'RE A YEAR OLD!!! So anyway, as we know, it's all about money. The dairy board is of course going to tell you you'll crumble if you don't have the calcium in milk, but calcium is in everything now! Orange juices, breakfast cereals, even certain kinds of peanut butter!! And that's not to mention the numerous natural sources of calcium.

The government doesn't care about keeping you healthy! They want us to have enough energy to go to work so we can pay taxes, and then sit our feeble asses in front of the television until it's time to go to bed before going to work the next day. If they were interested in keeping us healthy, things that poison our bodies would be illegal, like cigarettes and artificial sweeteners. Don't believe something because the government says it. Of course the dairy board is going to tell you milk is good for you. That's their job, for which they get $PAID$!

I wrote an extensive piece about the dairy industry here. I think it would definitely interest you. I'd like to add in the point that the general rule of corporations also don't care about keeping you healthy, human rights, or the environment -- just enough for appearance sake usually.
