Dairy? There's literally no evidence dairy in a modern diet is healthy, and much evidence of it being unhealthy.
Milk is not just food but most likely a genetic transfection system activating mTORC1 signaling for postnatal growth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23883112/
Milk drinkers are inserting bovine RNA into their cells (unless it is heavily fermented or UHT)
> Milk is rich in miRNAs that appear to play important roles in the postnatal development of all mammals.

> There is compelling evidence that human and bovine milk exosomes play a crucial role for adequate metabolic and immunological programming of the newborn infant at the beginning of extrauterine life. Milk exosomes assist in executing an anabolic, growth-promoting and immunological program confined to the postnatal period in all mammals. However, epidemiological and translational evidence presented in this review indicates that continuous exposure of humans to exosomes of pasteurized milk may confer a substantial risk for the development of chronic diseases of civilization including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, common cancers (prostate, breast, liver, B-cells) as well as Parkinson's disease. Exosomes of pasteurized milk may represent new pathogens that should not reach the human food chain.
The whole "calcium" argument is also totally debunked.
Contextualized one way, milk is a meal replacement or nutrition supplement, and one that is more practical than most other options. A serving of whole milk requires zero on-site prep time, is relatively portable once packaged, and perhaps more importantly, it is often the most palatable option for picky eaters. Public health is complicated.
Did you read I wrote "modern diet". Those are not the typical HN reading crowd.
Also: you could give them leafy greens can lentils to achieve the same.
Sure the benefits of the dairy nutrition may outweigh the problems of the intolerance.
Exactly. Same goes for other common allergies options like legumes, seafood, and gluten. That's why you provide options.
Everything is unhealthy if you look hard enough, before looking at dairy I'd look at sodas, sugar/carbs in everything, &c.
Or just go for a walk down the street or in an hospital
