    The same reason why people try to tell you that vaccines are bullshit but if you buy their essential oils you’ll live forever. People try to discredit the mainstream and proven treatment in favor of quackery that they happen to sell at an inflated price.

      Milk is “vaccines” in this situation. People are telling us milk is bullshit, but if we buy into veganism, we’ll live forever. While the Mayo Clinic reminds people that plant based milks are just generally not as healthy as dairy milk. Soymilk comes close if it is both fortified and unsweetened, but it’s still second-best. Good enough for someone who is already a vegan, but definitely not good enough for someone to stop drinking milk if they already do.

      Yeah, but what are they going to sell? Also, I don’t think milk as a health drink is really all that mainstream any more, or becoming increasingly less so over time. I think people are still sputtering along on what they might have been told ages ago, or what they were told by the dairy council.
