I certainly don't have a problem with other people drinking milk. I just
can't remember a time when I ever liked milk. My parents used to try to
encourage me to drink it because at that that time it was thought that
milk was important to growing children and that it helped grow strong
bones.

I have three brothers, and they all loved milk. By the time I was 14 I
was bigger than my older brothers. Despite having been hard on my body,
I never broke a bone until I was 53, and that was a broken collar bone
incurred in a riding accident. Later on I broke a rib, maybe two or
three, in another riding accident. When I saw my surgeon after heart
surgery he told me that it was going to take a while for my ribs to heal
because they were so big. I guess that means that you can develop big
strong bones without drinking milk.
