I used to get mad whenever the school tried to pressure me into grabbing a milk at lunch because I was never going to drink it because I was lactose intolerant and if I was going to use up my small dairy level, it was going to be for something more special than plain old milk. Besides, my mom would would fill me up a bottle of juice or water for me to take to school to drink at lunch. They gave me a bunch of you don't have a doctor's note nonsense. Now that I'm older, I realize something even more ridiculous than people trying to force me to grab a milk I wasn't going to drink. The milk came with school lunches, if you wanted water, you had to pay money outside of the lunch. Which is ridiculous since all the kids were being taught water was the healthiest drinking option.

That's Food Theory for ya.

I think it’s good in some scenarios. I had a friend who got hospitalised for anorexia, and the immediate treatment she received was a small cup of milk every few hours. It gradually progressed to eating proper meals but it did wonders for her recovery

This series could be called "The Food You Think You Know"

edit: I feel like my original wording wasn't great (so I changed it a little), but I still think it'd be a cool title, or the past tense "The Food You Thought You Knew" that @Cat Game suggested. I think TFYTYK ("tiffy tick") has some cool future potential.

I’m glad the conclusion was, “You don’t have to drink milk to be healthy” and not, “Stop drinking milk”

I like my chocolate milk damnit.

[CrispyToast]

Congratulations. You angered the skeletons.

Milk is my lifeline. I had to cut down on my milk dosage because I was drinking too much, I can’t just STOP

Just a quick note: “-ase” just indicates that the protein is an enzyme which catalyzes a reaction with its namesake compound, proteins that cut others are known as proteases

Therapist: *repairs my relationship with food so I can eat*
Food Theory: *ruins my relationship with another food item*
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

The only reason I drink milk is because I absolutely love the taste of it. And as all things in moderation, it’s good for you.

Matpat: “Don’t drink milk!”
Dani and his community: "Disintegrate into dust"

[WelshWing]

Matpat: “Don’t drink milk!”
People with lactose intolerant: “I’m 4 parallel universes ahead of you”

Hey Matpat,
remember the episode of Jimmy Neutron where he invented the best candy in the world and everyone got really addicted to it?
Is it possible, and if yes, how would "the most addictive candy" look like and what would be in it?

[XzaroX]

I'm from Eastern Europe and I've never seen a single milk ad lol.
I drink milk because it's tasty. It also is the best way to cool your mouth after eating spicy food.

MatPat: due to evolution, most people with higher lactase are genetically mutated

Me: *develops lactose intolerance in my 20s* just as nature intended!

[ZelanteVR]

MatPat: “Don’t drink milk you’re supposed to be lactose intolerant!”

Midroll ad: “Milk is the best thing EVER for your body!”

[Bread-fidc]

He’s right, I drank too much milk and my father told us he was gonna buy more but he never came back.
