Reviews

"In prose as pungent as a sharp cheddar yet smooth as a vanilla shake, Hamilton shows how a foodstuff that can't be digested by a large swath of people came to be promoted as a universal necessity by US health authorities." -- --Tom Philpott, food and agriculture correspondent, Mother Jones "Got Milked is a welcome and much needed counterpoint to the milk industry's heavily marketed message that milk is a magic fairy food that confers the health of immortal unicorns and bones of steel." -- --Yoni Freedhoff, author of The Diet Fix, Assistant Professor Family Medicine, University of Ottawa
