You see, I can't actually watch the video right now as ye ole company proxy server blocks access to YouTube. So alas, no Japanese commercial fun for me until after work.... In a way, however, I think the comments were MUCH more interesting without having been see the video. As for all the milk comments, it is interesting that we as a species chooses to drink the milk of another animal. I do very much, however, enjoy a great big glass of whole milk. Yum yum yum.... :) I ask you all, what's your favorite "I can't believe we eat/drink this" food or beverage? Mine is sea urchin.... Oh my, these comments are so amusing.

The same way that meatloaf makes us feel right at home I think that milk just makes us feel comfortable. Plus as Jon said, it's pretty much shoved down our throats that you're supposed to have so much dairy every day, the Food Pyramid anyone? http://www.centenaryarchers.gil.com.au/images/food-pyramid.jpg Anyway, maybe we just like drinking something that came out of.... Ah, nevermind. I think maybe the reason we drink milk is because it’s sort of like a comfort food to us.

Milk for calcium? That is BS... where do the cows get their calcium from? You guessed it... the green stuff that grows out of the ground... which you can also buy plenty of - it's called vegetables and fruit ;-) The marketing machine behind dairy is HUGE, to the point that what we are told isn't even questioned anymore... I prefer soya milk and water... carrot juice is fantastic with oranges too... kills any other drink you can get, just a bit messy to clean up after, also don't need to worry about puss neither ;-) That being said...

Ever wonder why we're the only one's that still drink milk in the Animal Kingdom? All the other amminals stop drinking milk after a certain age but we still do. Calcium shalcium, there's tablets for that. How about this? Ever wonder why we’re the only one’s that still drink milk in the Animal Kingdom?

I'm going to squeeze those things and drink whatever comes out. That, good people, was a braver man than I.

Apparently organic milk doesn't allow any of this but who knows. Just an interesting little factoid I wanted to share.

The one thing that got me was the size of their urinals... they are like thrones... considering they are relatively small people to begin with, I was astonished when you compared to what we got here in North America!
