svensvaflicka1--Yup, the only way to serve milk is coooollllddd! I have dropped a couple of ice cubes in my milk to make is colder, too!
mom-6--nothing like having to "make do" to appreciate the real thing.
On another tangent. I buy whole milk powder and mix it in a 1:1 ratio of milk to flour. This makes a wonderful thickener for soups, stews or gravies. And I can control the amount of salt in those products at the same time. I also dredge meat (chicken, port steak, Swiss steak) with the mixture before I pan fry in a small amount of oil, for a light crust on those meats.
The brand I buy is Nestle's Nido Fortified Whole Milk because it's the only source I have and get it at Walmart as that's where I can find it.

I finally broke down and tried the Lactose free milk, and it is really good. I couldn't tell the difference. I am lactose intolerant and love to have cereal in the morning with milk. Its nice to be able to have those foods again.

Also, if you want to avoid RBST (Artificial hormone) check all the other dairy products you eat. That is where it winds up.
And stay away from fast food burgers! The cows that spend their lives getting weekly hormone shots to increase milk production, wind up as about 50% of the beef in fast food burgers once their productive life is over. Yum.
