I used to for sure. I was raised in the midwest in the 80s and taught to drink milk by the gallon. Once I became an adult I stopped eating so much dairy and felt way better. The USA in the 80s-90s when I grew up was rife with health disinformation and straight up lies to the consumer.
On the other hand, I never saw so much cheese as when I went to Europe and saw the cheese aisles in France and Netherlands. And you can buy entire wheels at Euro farmer markets. Most traditional Dutch food is ham and cheese type dishes. I asked my Dutch friend his favorite food and he said he likes Thai food lmao.
OK, I no longer hate France.
Also, why wouldn't you drink milk by the gallon? You need to to have strong bones, that's why the viagra companies hate cows
