Eat This Podcast: Milk is not a Superfood

Hello

Anne Mendelson's new book Spoiled is subtitled The Myth of Milk as Superfood, and at its core argues that while there's nothing wrong with fresh milk, at least for those who can digest it as adults, the belief that you cannot have enough of a good thing has created a monstrous industry. Dairy farmers have always had the short end of the stick, because fresh milk is inevitably a sellers' market. Cows have been manipulated to divorce them from any kind of natural life. And milk drinkers are being fobbed off with a tasteless white liquid reconstituted from its constituent parts and with no hedonic value.

And for what?

Take a listen.

All the best
