Don't Have A Cow

The Got Milk people have a series of ads explaining "real milk comes from cows."







Since I don't drink that much milk of any sort, I don't really have a dog (or cow) in this fight. But while these commercials are amusing, are they going to shame us out of soy? Creep us out over coconuts? Awe us out of almond?

Okay, so "real milk" comes from cows.  Who cares?  The questions that matter: What tastes better?  What costs less?  What's healthier?  What's easier to store?  What has a better environmental impact?  And so on.  These ads may win awards, but do they really convince anyone of anything?

I would have thought Landis had you better trained. They keep milk front and center. Otherwise, you're George Bush.

Does this have anything to do with the "raw milk" crowd?

Raw milk is actually a separate issue, and represents a different movement that the Got Milk people probably oppose.
