The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends children ages 9 and older and adults consume at least 3 cups from the dairy group each day. Active teenagers with high calorie requirements of 3,000 calories or more may require 4 cups from the dairy group each day.
Predictably, we ended up talking about our kids, among other things. One of my friends mentioned that her 2-year-old daughter is a big fan of cowâs milk, drinking about 3 cups per day. This reminded me of a study Iâd gotten wind of earlier in the week that recommended kids drink only 2 cups of milk per day.
