Cows milk seems to trigger the same childhood affections and emotions as
motherly love almost. Condemn cow's milk and its like striking down
someone's own mom! hehe. Its no co-incidence as well that McDonalds
spend so much effort in marketing to kids. 

The only questions I would ask is this: How many of the milk drinking /
people-living-now-who-grew-up-on-wholesome-milk-and-grains" are truly
healthy?? Of course it depends on how you define "health", but going on
a definition of "health" rather than "normal" I have say I know maybe 1
in 20 people who exhibit "health".

Sure, its considered absolutely normal to:  look dead in the mornings,
need caffeine/sugar fixes through the day, not be able to walk let alone
run a kilometre (without a car), spend afternoons trying not to fall
asleep at a desk, spend $$ on painkillers/antacids/supplements, etc.
etc. etc. In my eyes, the "norm" in modern society is not "healthy"
despite the majority exhibiting the same behaviours.
