I couldn't stand any animal milk from the day I was given a bottle of cows' to the present day. To me the idea of a glass of the stuff is unfathomable. I've been drinking plant-based milk for about a year now: soy, rice and oat. They're all lovely.
Oh, and I commend the few posters denouncing cows' (etc) milk!
Yeah, same here. Since I was a young baby I found the stuff awfully objectionable, and probably have had an allergy all my life that, while has gotten from moderate to mild, hasn't gone away. I wouldn't drink milk but would still eat ice cream, but would prefer soy versions and icees, as my throat would get scratchy and stomach aches. Nowadays in the last few months I have totally cut out dairy from my diet (not just in the most blatantly obvious forms, and get my calcium from plant foods like broccoli and almonds and fortified almond/rice/soy milks.
