Recorded Webinar: Beyond The Plate: A Global Perspective on Milk

This webinar was presented on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 from 9–10 am ET.

Join moderator Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN, to update you about the latest information on an increasingly important topic. This webinar seeks to offer participants a global perspective on the consumption and importance of milk. Milk is viewed through a social, cultural and scientific lens and explored through multiple food ways. This presentation starts out by providing an overview of the reasons why individuals choose to avoid or desire to consume milk. This webinar further seeks to unpack the science of lactose intolerance and the rates of global lactose intolerance as well as the global annual consumption of cow's milk.

This webinar describes the relationship between milk and culture and explores the traditional role milk occupies in certain cultures and its symbolic position in various cultures. Consuming milk has become a symbolic representation of becoming American and fitting into American society. This presentation goes on to explore global shifts in milk consumption in recent years and how acculturation affects latinx communities when individuals acculturate to the US. Furthermore, this webinar explores traditional milk-based dishes in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Lastly, this presentation examines the beneficial role that A2 milk may play for people with gastrointestinal issues and investigates this through recent scientific research as well as first-hand case studies.
