Description

The Best Paragraph I've Read: Milk is still pasteurized and homogenized, as Chamberlain’s carton boasted, but it’s also been lionized and demonized, canonized and eulogized, weaponized and publicized. Got Milk? Milk has left society in general and sports in particular polarized. “It has been argued about for at least the past ten thousand years,” writes Mark Kurlansky in his 400-page history of milk called Milk! “It is the most argued-over food in human history.” Former Cardinals, Titans and Lions defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch drank two gallons a day in high school. Vegan athletes like Cam Newton and Kyrie Irving won’t touch it with a 10-foot crazy straw. Pasteurized, Homogenized, Modified—and Marginalized: Wilt’s greatest moment also marked the last great peak for milk, whose consumption in America, by 1962, had already been in decline for 10 straight years. Milk consumption in the U.S. has now been in decline for 70 consecutive years. This paragraph comes from Sports Illustrated.  The article is titled: "Who's Still Got Milk?"  The author is Steve Rushin.  You can read the full article here: https://www.si.com/more-sports/2022/07/06/milk-the-strength-issue-daily-cover Zac and Don talk about milk.  They wonder if it actually has any health benefits.  They wonder why it's consumption continues to decrease and if it can ever make a comeback.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bestparagraph/message
