I Drink Soy Milk

I don’t know anyone who loves milk as much as myself.

No one.

I am the quintessential kid who grew up on a bowl of cereal or a pop tart and a glass of milk. I am a child of the 80’s and milk was my fuel.

My idols advertised it with the Got Milk campaigns and I drank it day and night.

I never even considered an alternative even as I lived with my best friend Vic who couldn’t drink milk anymore due to some health reason.

A few years ago, sometime after a doctor told me I should give up milk, I picked up a book by Jack LaLane that has been in print for decades and in it he talks about how milk isn’t needed in order to be healthy. “Name me one creature on this earth, except for man, who uses milk after they wean,” was his quote.

Well, the point is, I no longer drink milk. I drink soy “milk”, which is really soy juice, and I love it. Who woulda known it?

And this major news comes on the day of the Oscars when Jen and I are hosting a little get together with some friends and we’re making milk shakes in honor of the movie There Will Be Blood.
