WHY IS MILK A FOOD GROUP?

i honestly dont know i like the information you have given though. i dont drink milk or anything with dairy. I always feel really bad after i eat it and i subsitute milk for almond milk and rice milk. America would loose sooo much weight if we all stoped consuming dairy products! I agree it should be eliminated as a food group, yeah the calcium and protein are good, but the side effects arent worth it. You can get calcium and protein from other sources.
