I have enjoyed the milk commercial over the past few years, but there are a lot of chemicals in cows milk and in the cows. groan

I have always wondered about the advertising of milk - in the UK we have pretty strict rules on advertising, and the milk/dairy industry was banned from saying it is good for you a few years ago - because it isn't (funnily enough).

I had a friend who studied pharmacology at Uni, and he told me the same story years ago - that humans really only "tolerate" cows milk, and that 98% of it goes straight through us...
I usually like those ads, who doesn't like seeing good looking people. You didn't post any but they also use ads with men to appeal to women.

The advertising rules are crazy in North America too. Quite a long time ago some part of the US government tried to tell people to eat less red meat for better health. Companies profiting from red meat then jumped around and stomped their feet a lot. In the end the campaign had to be changed to to say choose meat with less fat. Although they couldn't tell you which meat that actually was. Pretty crazy.
I have a friend that's used to collect and to clip that "Got Milk?" ads from the magazines :)

We have an (old) actress here that looked very much like Miss Dowell when she's young. Her name is Rae Sita. She's very old now, though. So it's hard to relate her looks with Andie's LOL

And, thanks for reminding me that I need to get my milk soon. I usually consume colostrum milk which is believed that's the best for health and beauty.
