Why do so many kids not like milk anymore? - Page 2

I agree with Will_B that the "Original" Almond Milk tastes the best.

At my supermarket (Publix) it is available in the 32oz unrefrigerated cartons in the Health Food section and also in 64oz cartons in the refrigerated section (with the other types of milk). The 64oz costs $3.29 (but is sometimes on sale).

I don't like the taste of rice milk and can't tolerate soy milk. BTW large amounts of soy are bad for the thyroid.

I decided to stop drinking cows milk due to sinus problems (about a month ago) and I have lost weight (5 lbs).

MY family has been on a health kick lately and we have been buying Vanilla flavored rice milk. My wife buys almond milk for herself. Me and the kids prefer the vanilla flavored Rice Dream rice milk. I agree it's not as good as milk but I like the taste alot better than the almond milk. The almond taste is just too strong for me.

Yes. I thought it was a U.S brand but now I'm not sure. It's possible that it is only available in Canada. I used to use the Vanilla flavoured version, mostly in cereal. I could never drink the stuff straight out of a glass. Putting the word "Milk" behind "Rice" is really stretching the definition of milk. "Rice Dream" was mostly water with a bit of flavouring. I use 1% milk now: mostly for cereal and tea, as I'm not a big coffee drinker.

Further edit: I didn't see Bob S's post. It looks like Rice Dream is available down there.

Almond milk would probably harm me. I'm allergic to nuts. As for milk itself, no problems whatsoever. But I must admit that I may drink a bit too much chocolate milk. All that sugar may not be good for me...

Here's a possible reason why kids might not like milk. It's too sterile.

Twenty-five years ago, I worked on a dairy farm where we drank the milk that was stored in the refrigeration tanks. No pasteurization whatsoever. And man was it ever good! And not fatty either since we grabbed it from the bottom of the tank.

Pasteurization ruins the natural taste of milk. Maybe the kids have a valid reason to avoid the stuff.

When we visited the farm, my Grandmother used to give us unpasteurized milk virtually right out of the cow. I hated the taste of the stuff. I actually preferred pasteurized milk. To me, whole milk tasted gross.

This may have been mentioned already. I have heard that adults should not drink too much milk. Ever since my childhood, I drink "skim milk". In Germany  I buy 1.5% fat milk. My main fluid is a combination of water and ice tea. Currently in Germany, one cannot buy ice tea without sugar like in the US - I am sure that will come. I am a waste here in Munich - I am NOT a beer drinker! Years ago, I drank lots of orange juice but have learred that has a lot of sugar.
