HEY THERE, HALF-PINT

Much hand-wringing goes on over the stop-the-presses news that teenage girls, as they get older, stop drinking milk. Huh. Ain't that weird? I wonder why a child would stop drinking milk as they grow up - oh wait, maybe it's because THAT'S WHAT NATURE DESIGNED US TO DO. No adults should be drinking milk, and no humans should be drinking anything secreted by another species. My favorite line is this, from the author of the study:"I was surprised with the trend. This could have been due to peer pressure ... as milk could be seen as only for children." Yeah, uh, it could be seen that way.
