And to think, I didn’t know young people didn’t drink milk.

I drink milk (the stuff made by cows). It is my favorite beverage and if it wasn’t so caloric, I would drink more than my evening glass with dessert (I drink 2% – less than that and it tastes repulsive to me). But I probably qualify as “old”. My offspring (who are young) drink plenty too. We go through 3-4 gallons of milk (and 3 gallons of OJ) a week when everyone is in the house. (Although I bake a bunch too so it’s not all straight consumption). So – I don’t know. Maybe propaganda? Maybe it just tastes yummy.
Regardless, you can’t make ice cream without it.
Two of us in the house can’t drink it because of lactose intolerance. But Keren and Ekko drink it.
