today in child psychology, a girl raised her hand to give an example of something. she ended up saying that milk isnt actually good for your body, that it doesnt do anything for you or could even be bad for you, but everyone drinks it anyway cuz they are told it is good for you. this got the entire class in a tizzy, everyone was whispering and muttering, and one girl finally spoke up from across the room and said "thats not true!!!!! its good for your bones!!!!" the first girl, with that semi-arrogance tone typical of the people that somehow know the underground secrets, said, "no! actually, it has so much protein, that it counteracts the calcium and doesnt do anything! research it!!!!!" this got everyone riled and things were escalating when the professor finally intervened and got things back on track.
i just laughed. first, this girl was so atimate about milk actually being bad for you and everyone being too ignorant to realize this. second, the rest of the class was fractically freaking out by this statement that was threatening what they had been taught since kindergarten. it was really quite funny.
so, as far as i know, milk does a body good...plenty of celebrities have told me that much. if you find some research that says otherwise, let me know. and if you have any idea how it relates to child psychology, fill me in there, too.
