Do you like milk? Inspired by the Kid Confessions thread...

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I am surprised by the number of folks that don't like milk.

I thought that was my strange little thing. Couldn't stand it--and would refuse at all costs...or drink as little as possible but otherwise just left "evidence" of me drinking milk without actually drinking it.


Do you like milk?

This includes if you prefer a flavored milk like chocolate.

ETA: I eat my cereal dry and for calcium I do my best to use other sources like cheese.

I don't love it, but there are some foods I like to have milk with, and I like it in my cereal.

My mother can't stand milk. They used to get snack milk in elementary school, and one day hers had gone bad. She hasn't had a drink of milk, since.

Only in my cereal... I cannot drink it

We are a 100% dairy-free home, for health reasons.
We do use soy or rice milk as a substitute when needed for cooking or baking, for cereal, and the 2 year old drinks chocolate soy or rice milk from a sippy as a treat.

Sometimes I get wicked cravings. It really hits the spot, especially with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

Blech I hate cow's milk. I get all grossed out when I think where it comes from. I do use soy milk as a substitute.

I hate milk. I think all of it tastes sour and yucky. AND, I'm lactose-intolerant to a pretty good degree, and getting worse by the day (dairy foods which used to be well tolerated are now giving me trouble).

Horrible thing is, I married the milkman. AND, both the kids are lactose-intolerant as well!

But I do love soymilk, all flavors. I will also occasionally drink almond beverage, which is something like milk. I like soy yogurt, too.

I love milk. I drink it with breakfast every morning and with sweet snacks. I like both regular and flavored milk (but only drink skim/fat free). Only condition is it has to be ice cold.

"I like chocolate milk"

 

[frndofpooh]

I hate to drink it, but will put it on my cereal. I did not drink it much as a kid because I was allergic to it and I guess I just never got used to it. I can't stand the way it feels in my mouth when it is unaccompanied (by cereal). It feels like a food, not a drink. Weird, I know!

Nope, I HATE milk and I have ever since I can remember! The smell of it literally makes me gag. I just can't drink the stuff. My mother used to make me sit at the table and tell me I couldn't leave the table until I drank the milk, but I never drank it. I would sit at the dinner table so long. I thinnk she thought I was just being difficult or exaggerating but milk still has the same effect on me today as is did when I was a little kid. I eat cereal dry and don't use milk in coffee or tea.

I get my calcuim from eating cheese which I love and I also take Tums.

 

[flaps]

I've always hated it.

 

[helenabear]

I really don't like it much at all. I will have it in cereal but that is only a recent thing for me (when I got pregnant, I needed to get more "stuff" in me so Total with milk was what did it). I don't like drinking it at all otherwise and I put very little in my cereal now.

 

[Beth76]

I love milk. Skim only. I don't drink it all the time, but I have to have a glass of milk with something sweet like cake or cookies or pancakes. I do like an occasional chocolate milk and then I'll use my son's 2%.

 

[Danauk]

I can't stand the stuff!! I do like cheese and cream though.

 

[caitycaity]

no and i don't drink a substitute. but here is the weird thing - i use it on cereal and in my coffee. but i never drink it by itself. i hate drinking milk and i always have!

i eat plenty of other dairy though, so i'm not worried about my calcium intake.

 

[lillygator]

not unless it's strawberry quick!

 

[shirleyb]

I didn't really like it as a kid, but would drink it at school. Still rarely choose to drink a glass of milk, but I don't dislike it now.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Okay...I am shocked that it is about 50/50...WOW!

 

[azgal81]

I haven't drank milk since 4th grade. I also snack on cereal dry when I do eat it because the milk makes it gross. Yuck!
