Do none of you know that the human body isn't supposed to be able to digest bovine lactation? It was only recently in our evolutionary history where a mutation occurred that allowed the human digestive system to break it down all the way into adulthood.

Anyone who is lactose intolerant is actually normal, meaning without that particular mutation.
A recent evolutionary step is still an evolutionary step. The fact that most of the population carries the gene that allows this digestion would suggest that it is a genetically favourable adaption. Your point is ridiculous. I suppose you're still on first generation consoles, because everything that came after them would be abnormal, right?

I love milk, I have 2-3 glasses every morning, and then 2-3 glasses at dinner.

I like milk, and LOVE Cheese (particularly Wensleydale), but I'm lactose intolerant so I can only have small amounts, or I get sick. So I usually avoid drinking milk and instead eat cheese.

I've tried those lactose free milks, and such, but they just taste awful.

Goodness that's a strangely hostile reaction to that individual's post, they were just noting an interesting historical fact.

I've never seen "The Breakfast Club", but this conversation reminds me of it somehow.

Yeah, my entire family is pretty much addicted to milk. With my dad, I sometimes find myself wondering if there's a milk rehab program available for him...

Love it! I mostly drink skim, which is my favourite, so whenever I go to a friend's and they have 1%, I am in awe of how white the milk is.

PETA?

OT: I hate milk unless it's chocolate.

I wasn't going for hostile, I was aiming to counter-point the claim that the majority of the human race aren't normal. Using the highly relatable (on this website) example of the evolution of consoles, I had hoped to demonstrate his premise was flawed.

Milk is yum, unless it's skim, in which case it's more like milk-flavored water that has the capability to curdle.

Also, Banananananana milk is the best ever.

EDIT: This is, of course, assuming the milk is bovine in origin.
