I lived next door to my Brownie troop leader. One Saturday, they took us on a field trip to a friend’s farm, where they always got their milk… “fresh from the cow!” When we got back, they served up a glass for everyone and I took one sip and found it warm and revolting. Left my glass on the piano with the hope that no one would notice and urge me to drink it up.

Next morning, about 10 hours later, I was over there playing and was mortified to notice the glass was still there—now a weirdly dark brown colour…

I can’t recall that their family was notably sick in the time I knew them, but it sure put me off milk in general, and raw milk in particular. Of course, I realized in later years that I can’t handle dairy at all and eventually went vegan. Give me almond, oat, pea, or oat milk anytime—no mucus, no bloating, and I can’t remember the last time I had a real sinus headache.

What I’d like to know is how Bobby Jr. has ingested all this weird shit all these years and he’s still here to croak about it—instead of just croaking?
