    I grew up with milk being the main dinnertime beverage, and I still drink it quite a bit. My step-son’s gf clearly did not, and clearly thinks it’s strange, but tries to be polite about it. She’s asked me if milk is my favorite drink, if I feel like milk goes with most food, and a number of related questions. I think in her family, milk is something some people put in coffee.

      I’ve had similar childhood experiences with milk, and as an adult I find it goes so well to wash down basically any carb

      I don’t and likely never will understand people thinking it’s strange.

        I love the stuff, but the entire process and industry of how it comes to be is objectively strange and fucked up.

        I grew up in an Asian household, dairy wasn’t really a thing. If I drink a glass of milk I’ll probably shit myself. That goes for most of my family. Having a glass of milk with dinner would be a really bad idea

        A glass of milk with lunch or dinner? Yeah, that’s strange AF. Milk is for cereal and to put in my coffee. Nothing else. I use soy milk for both.

        You’ll get there. It probably makes you farty already and you haven’t just connected the dots. Basically every adult human will develop more and more lactose intolerance as they age.
