Commentary

I am old enough to remember when milk was considered one of the healthy building blocks of any human diet. I remember glass bottles delivered to the door with the cream sitting on top waiting for whoever reached it first to sneak a taste before the rest of the family arrived. I remember the reminders from Mom and Granny: “Drink your milk. It will build strong bones.”
