America's Biggest Milk Producers Are Going Bankrupt

I just think you're damaging your kids by not giving them milk, which is the most nutritious thing you can feed a kid. Also, your kids may be lactose intolerant due to other stuff in their diet, like gluten or other toxins in plant-based foods that lead to a leaky gut.

Ah of course, your robust remote medical diagnosis of "leaky gut" seems much more suitable than an actual assessment by an actual physician.

It's fine to research and make decisions about your diet which are in line with your own understanding, philosophy, and dietary requirements. Please don't pretend that your views on this are particularly useful for others.

Nobody is damaging their kids by not giving milk unless they're not giving mother's milk (or human milk). There are alternatives that may be more suitable and better than the milk of a cow or a buffalo (or some other mammal).

there is no evidence that gluten is bad for you if you're not gluten-sensitive.

Yet gluten sensitivity is on the rise

Things can seem to be on the rise when awareness and detection improve. For example: the number of known exoplanets grows by the day, but they existed before we knew about them.

>awareness and detection improve.

Increase might be a better word than improve. Number of "diagnosed" cases might have gone up, but I'd argue accuracy of diagnosis has gotten much much worse.

There was a recent study showing only about 1 in 10 people who claimed to be allergic to antibiotics actually had any allergic or other negative response to them.

Realistically, it is a lot more likely that the kids are lactose intolerant (over half of humanity) than that they have celiac disease (under 1% of humanity).

Also, there's a fairly foolproof test for lactose intolerance.

Over half of humanity become lactose intolerant as adults.

Almost no infants are lactose intolerant, for obvious evolutionary reasons (mother's milk is full of lactose).

If milk is so good, keep them on Mother's milk.
