Got Milk?

I have always been a milk drinker; I drink it with everything. Funny thing, my daughter is just like me. We drink it with pizza, tacos, steak... doesn't matter, we like milk with our meals (all of them). Well, not with our meals, but after. Neither one of us touch it until we are done eating, and then we chug the the whole glass! Skim milk, please... save the fat for the cookies we dip.

So being a milk drinker, I can tout its virtues. It's great for heartburn; as a matter of fact, if I don't drink it, I get heartburn. I also drink a big glass with a scoop of Slimfast prior to a workout or long ride (that, oatmeal, and a banana, are my pre-race meal), and it sustains me.

What really made me think of all this is the milk ad with Dara Torres. Geesh, she rocks! If you have seen her swim, you know she is awesome. But if you haven't seen her milk ad, you are missing something else spectacular... her abs! I am on a mission to get those (truly). Check her out: http://www.whymilk.com/ad_pdfs/dara_torres.pdf

Now try this. Tell someone you are going to ask them a series of questions, and they need to answer fast. Grab a plain white sheet of paper and hold it up and ask, what color is this? White. What do cows drink? Milk! I have yet to see this fail... :)
