I think trying to tell everyone that "Milk SUCKS" is just foolishness. Some people like it, others don't. And people can be allergic to ... ANYTHING.

Just because a lot of northern Europeans are gluten intolerant doesn't mean everyone should eliminate gluten. Just because some people are allergic to tomatoes, eggplant and other nightshade vegetables doesn't mean that everyone has to give them up.

Alternet has a habit of shopping Doom and Gloom crap--it gets a bit stale. The sky is NOT falling.

Taste, and try.

If you don't like, don't buy.

It's really very simple.
