What protects bones ?

I dont drink milk..I've never liked this beverage that i was forced to drink as a child..It was a daily thing at breakfast.My mother would have a tall glass of cold milk ready at the table.I would by pass it and reach for the juice.She would push the milk glass back at me..I would pretend not to notice and look longingly at the teapot..There'd be tears,imploring and howls from my side and pouts.Narrowed eyes and drill seaGeant orders from hers..A huff a bit of sulking and i left my poor mother exhausted every morning before the day had even begun..But her purpose had been served she'd made me drink the milk..I hate to think how she must have felt every night when the process was reapeted,this time with a mug of warm milk..

As i grow up and my mother's control over me dissipated,i learnt to play games with my glass of milk .In the morning i'd surreptitiously feed it to the cat sitting under the table.Who seemed to thrive on it and at night i would quickly pour it into a convenient plant by my bed,which didnt thrive on it..As result obviously,my milk consumption went down considerably.I started quzzling soft drinks and gaining weight,and the lazy,hazy days of my teens went by comfortably,if not so healthily...

Anyway calcium that makes our bones strong can also be derived from other food sources like milk

YOU CAN STILL DRINK A GLASS OF MILK AT YOUR AGE..... MAKE UP FOR THOSE CHILDHOOD NO-NOS TO MILK!!!!!!
