We have been told since time immemorial to drink our glass of milk everyday and that a well-balanced diet with dairy products on it can help us achieve optimum health. These nuggets of health wisdom we were told as a child still hold true. Hence, we carry the responsibility to pass it on to the next generation.
I grew up a healthy kid with a big appetite for anything dairy. To this day, it is a running joke in our family how I, as a kid, can finish at a breakneck speed a tall glass of milk coupled with bread generously slathered with butter and a little plate filled with chunks of cheese on the side which I love to eat with my bare hands. Good times.
I have always been passionate about my dairy. These days, whenever my nephews are spending time with me, it is always a dairy fest in my humble abode. Their love for cheese, butter, milk, yogurt, and literally anything dairy, they got it from me, as I have been told. And it gives me comfort that since they love dairy, they are getting the nutrients they need to be healthy.
