Mocking people for food they grew up eating is just petty and childish. Drinking milk is normal, so is eating natto, menudo or okra. No one needs to hear that you think it's gross. Grow up and let people eat in peace.

Hope this isn't troublesome, but... what's "menudo"? I'm curious, here in Brasil it was the name of a popular ancient boy band & googlining it doesn't bring any results about food.

Not troublesome at all! I always thought the band was named for the soup.

Possibly, they're from Porto Rico, were they might have knew that soup. They were really famous here in Brasil, but we don't have this soup tradition (most plates here that use tripe use it in the form of sausage).
aug 26, 2025, 6:52 pm • 0 0 • view
In Mexico it's a very traditional soup with beef tripe, hominy, potatoes and peppers. Soup your grandmother had on the stove. I know it's served on New Years Day because it's supposed to help cure a hangover. Because of the tripe, some people avoid it.

Some people are so insecure they have to resort to trashing milk as a way to boost what they feel is their intellectual advantage. Peoples egos are what play into this. We are really no different than any living being on earth. It’s our mind that convinces us we are superior.

While you are correct, what other people eat is their business. As an aside, more people are being conscious of where they are getting the food they eat. More people are supporting local small farms and growers. And others are too poor to do so and I'm not going to judge them for trying to survive.

Also the appeal to ‘small farms’ makes no difference to the early and cruel demise of the animals. No decent person would subject their companion animal to the same treatment.

I'm not sure what that has to do with my statement regarding more people being conscious of where they get their food. There will always be people who want greasy fast food. That doesn't take away from the people who want unprocessed food.

I suppose it was an aside to your aside — my own anecdotal observation in response to yours. As to your main point, what people eat is their business, but when it's destroying the planet I have to live on, and supporting avoidable harm to animals and humans, I'm allowed to notice and comment on it.

Some cultures that’s not okay, but that’s part of learning what you can before hand. I definitely prefer being able to politely refuse but that’s usually based on knowing already I don’t like it or have a texture issue with it. I’ll usually try anything at least once. I like having food adventures

Respectfully, normal is defined by opinion. Animal milk has been a life saving product for human consumption when human milk wasnt available. I eat meat raised for human consumption. Its my choice and considered "normal ". Your view is a personal moral one, and that's OK.

LOL. You've made my point. Who is human milk for? Who is cows milk for? Any mother's milk? That's right. Babies. Name another species that consumes milk into adulthood then tell me a single species behaving that way is normal. Drink all the milk/milk byproducts you like. I happen to love cheese.

"Name other species that consumes milk into adulthood" What other species do is the limit of what's *normal* for us?? With our thumbs & brain? So clothes, language, music aren't normal? Preserving, cooking, canning food isn't normal? If dogs could, they would milk cows. Dogs love cheese.

That's a problem with the industry though, not the milk itself. If people had the knowledge and choice they would rather not have inhumane acts on anyone (This is a fact btw, people buy green if they can)

The industry is driven by demand for the product. The two are inextricably linked. Cows do not magically create milk, and no farm, regardless of size, keeps any animal alive longer than is absolutely necessary. Capitalism has no room for pets. You now have the knowledge to make a choice.

Grits are made from dried corn and it's ground up and cooked in liquid until it has the consistency of oatmeal, only slightly gritty. You add butter and eat with fish or you can eat it sweet like oatmeal.

Aha, when you say 'corn' I take it you mean maize? A sort of porridge? I suppose it might be nice spiced up with chilli, or sweetened with pitaya or some other fruit. Could work with a sweet fish like sole or zander. Interesting. Thank you. Always looking for new culinary ideas here 😀

Grits aren't as finely ground as flour. Very similar to polenta if you've ever had it, but usually with white corn rather than yellow (same plant, just processed differently). The corn for grits usually cooks up a little softer, making a looser porridge.

Fuck, if anything's normal and mundane, it's drinking milk. In 🇫🇮, people drink it from the cradle to the grave. Why? Simply because it's fucking healthy. And since there's lactose-free versions available, nobody has a problem with it. Why make a problem out of something that isn't a problem??

‘People drink it from the cradle to the grave’ but no other mammal does… Because no other mammal is brainwashed by the dairy industry. And every other mammal knows it’s bad for you after childhood.

Entire historical communities survived because they adopted (and adapted to) dairy. If you have European ancestors, you probably exist because they had access to milk/butter/cheese. Food/history are cool. Unnuanced "I'm right" takes about food/history are sad/uniformed. No one makes you drink milk.

“No other mammal is brainwashed…” No other mammals write symphonies, read books or know to can/preserve food. Do we limit ourselves to only what other mammals do? (I am fascinated with the idea of a dairy run by Cattledogs.) Also, adult mammals don’t avoid milk bc it’s “bad” for them.

Yeah, I have so many familial/cultural traditions around food. I find a way to continue them while reducing harm where I can. Much of this stuff is symbolic — it's the ritual that counts. We can have "fish & chips", in a way that fulfils our traditions, without killing fish.
