Living in Texas, and being preoccupied with my family, I haven't heard much about the reaction in WI to Aaron saying he cut dairy from his diet for health reasons. What a slight on "America's Dairyland" to basically say: Dairy is bad for you. The highest profile Wisconsinite (albeit part time) comes out and eschews eating the product your entire state's economy is based off of? Hmmm.

I realize Cali, where he's from, is also a huge dairy state, but Wisconsin takes pride in being known as the dairy state and to have your most recognizable resident come out and basically cast aspersions on your meal ticket, that had to be tough for some to swallow. I almost thought, perhaps, he was slamming the state, but then considered Cali where he loves it is also a huge dairy producer.

Finally, Rodgers seems to be misguided as to cutting dairy from his diet being helpful to his longevity. How dare he slam America's Dairyland and be dead wrong while doing so! Milk... it does a body good!

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Milk is unnecessary after we're nursed from our moms. I think he said he is lactose intolerant too so there's that. I haven't cut dairy out of my diet though, but I'd love to. I prefer almond milk over cow milk and use it for my protein shakes. Very tasty.

Its also a rather recent genetic adaptation that lets some humans process dairy, if you have eastern Asian heritage you have a pretty good chance of being lactose intolerant because many of the regions never relied on dairy in their diet.

Some people who cut dairy find they get sick when they try to add it back in, I was overseas a lot for 6 months and didn't eat/drink dairy often and when I came back to the States it took awhile before I was fully comfortable with it. Some people can become lactose intolerant just from a simple stomach bug, your body changes to no longer accept dairy.

So while I have milk/cheese/yogurt in the fridge atm I don't fault people for giving it up.

Not sure about the first statement, but completely agree with your last. Almond milk is tremendous. However, for those reading who have never tried it, don't get the "unsweetened". That's like the difference between chocolate and unsweetened chocolate. HATE unsweetened almond milk, which is fine for smoothies and protein shakes but for just plain drinking, sweetened almond milk, vanilla, or chocolate, is fantastic.

I still can't believe Rodgers would come out and say this knowing where he plays football. Would've been better left unsaid. Nobody needs to know he cut out dairy. The state of WI would've been much the better for it if he hadn't. He's smarter than that so it makes me wonder if it wasn't a shot at the state.

It's like someone with a nut allergy cutting out nuts... it's a smart move. As far as going public with it, if someone is just being themselves and telling the truth (especially without being rude) then that shouldn't be a problem.

I could be wrong, but Rodgers never directly marketed Wisconsin dairy products, did he?

Rodgers has been changing his diet to help himself live better (which hopefully leads to him playing better too). Like Rodgers used to do ads for Pizza Hut... then when he decided to get a better diet, he cut pizza and pizza ads off.


In a post draft interview OT Kyle Murphy talked about how he was excited that he and his college teammate LB Blake Martinez (both of Stanford) were drafted to the Packers together. Murphy talked about how, he wasn't sure if Blake would, but he's ready to try all the cheese snacks... (I read else where LB Blake Martinez reportedly has some strict diet that he follows, which includes no sweets).

Point being, Rodgers probably isn't the only one, and his physical reason for doing it (that he's body is intolerant of it) gives him a good reason for not doing it.

California is the true powerhouse in agriculture and dairy in the United States, and it's not even close. Although most people don't think about that when they think of California.

Yes, I live in the number one dairy county in the country, in California. 😎

Yes, per the article, CA is the largest milk producer but WI is still the biggest cheese producer.

Aaron was asked about what he does to keep himself in shape and Aaron responded that he has changed his diet and nutrition habits. He also joked that as he gets older he has to work harder and the follow up inquired about what changes were made. Aaron said he has cut out dairy and you can pretty much assume the rest.
