    You drink powdered milk? We pretty much only use it in baking. It tastes off. Do you do something to make it more palatable?

        And it makes a very nice white sauce liquid. That’s what happens when the summer camp gets both liquid and powdered milk on subsidy. I should make yogurt out of that blend………brb.

      The real trick is to start giving it to your kids when they are really young and never give them real milk. That way powdered milk tastes normal and real milk tastes weird to them. Or at least that’s what my parents tried to do.

        I was raised on skim milk. My mother was always on a diet, so we had a lot of diet-type foods in the house.

        Skim milk is practically just water with a little bit of milk flavoring. It was my refreshing go-to drink on hot summer days. I drank almost nothing but skim milk all through my childhood. It was my favorite drink.

        The first time I had 2% milk, I thought it was melted ice cream. It was so thick and creamy! I had no clue that it was “normal” milk.

        Also, I learned in adulthood that milk makes your bones brittle. That whole “milk does a body good” thing was just advertising, not scientific fact. It doesn’t strengthen bones, it just makes them more likely to break. Makes sense; I survived off the stuff for years of my childhood and I’ve broken 9 bones in my life.

          That’s not strictly true. While the whole “milk makes your bones strong” line was found to be greatly overstated, there’s still a lot of calcium in milk and combined with vitamin D that makes for stronger bones. Most importantly exercise improves bone density, so maybe it’s true if you chug a bunch of milk while completely sedentary.
