Thanks.
But, not to worry. We only have low-fat. I stopped getting non-fat because I was the only one who drank it (in tea). I take a couple of calcium (chalk) tablets every night, but I don't know whether it does anything. Fortunately, I've never had a bone problem.
The "Drink Milk" campaign is paid for with our tax dollars. Last time I looked it had cost us $100 million in TV advertising - for little result.
What happens is that government fixed prices cut off demand, so they are stuck with extra milk. Instead of letting the market drop prices, effectively removing the surplus, they try to clear it with "Drink Milk" - which fails.
The clowns are beyond redemption. Yet, I suppose they are Arthur's clowns, so they are going to stay in both our countries.
I was living in Canada when farmers discovered that Jerseys and Guernseys gave such butter rich milk, that after extraction, the low fat milk could still be sold.
So, poor people like us could get 2% milk very cheaply.
Of course it eventually became "official" and the low prices disappeared.

Harry, please confirm with your doctor and don't take my word for it, but men over 25 - 30 should drink very little milk, and that's low or non fat milk. Check it out. Get your calcium elsewhere.
You don't have to replace calcium lost in child bearing years, and the milk fat goes straight to the arteries and other soft organ tissues that don't need anymore stress over time.

KWC Ray, old chum,
As I said, I never eat at McDonalds, so I can't confirm your opinion of their produce.
Also, I rarely drink coffee, but when I do I sip it. I don't rush it to the mouth. The same with tea - a much better drink. I even warm the cup to ensure I get it hot. But, then I sip it while I do other things and thoroughly enjoy it.
You New Yorkers rush too much.
Drink Milk! As the TV ads are wont to say.
Harry
