Ugh, I grew up drinking well water...delicious water.  In Missouri the water is naturally filtered through a thick layer of sand and limestone so it is loaded with calcium and magnesium, no chlorine, flouride or other nasty chemicals in it.  Now I live in the city and I won't drink the tap water unless it is filtered first.  I hate the taste of tap water.  It tastes like pool water. 

But I know what you mean about milk, I used to drink it too, grew up drinking 2 gallons of the stuff a week!  Then I tried Silk Soymilk because I heard it was more healthy for you about three years ago.  At first I was like...ewww this is gross...but I had bought a half gallon of it and no dairy milk, and I was poor so I was not about to let it go to waste.  But after I drank the second, then thrid cups, and then the whole half gallon, I was hooked.  Haven't gone back to cow milk again.  Love soymilk now.  Can't live without it.

Anyway, somebody mentioned something about the Iditarod dog sled race?  You think it is cruel?  Do you also think that dog sledding is cruel? 
I pretty much agree with everyone on this site about everything except that.  After living in Alaska I have seen those dogs used for those races, have seen dogs hitched up to sleds and running, have seen dog teams hitched up to 4 wheelers during the summer pulling their musher around(training for dog sled racing), seen dogs hitched up to skiiers pulling them around (sport called ski-joring), and I don't think I have ever seen happier dogs.  Those people LOVE their dogs, and those dogs LOVE their owners.  I even had my own sled dog for awhile, sort of, and boy did he love to pull.  I hitched him to my bicycle and let him pull me around (sport called bike-joring), boy you should have seen the smile on  his face as he pulled me around on my bike.  Those are some really happy dogs!  Never once did I ever see any whips or anything like that.  The dogs are completely trained - gee means right, haw means left, whoa means stop, lets go - means go or go faster, I wish I could be a musher, it looks like so much fun, but a lot of work too.  My neighbor was a musher and had 18 dogs that she used to compete.  Never in a million years would I ever think that she abused those dogs in any way, those dogs were very happy, and she took very good care of them.
