Milk is not good for you really. Those studies were funded by the dairy council. In some people it actually can have a negative effect. Not to mention eating all that sugar in chocolate milk is terrible for you. There is actually more calcium in a lot of foods per calorie:
You only need about 15 minutes in the sun without chemicals on to get all the vitamin D you need. But there are other food sources for that too.
The Endurance Boost - LOL>..of course...sugar fit and coco caffine high is more like it. False energy. Plus caffeine binds ability to absorb calcium so it would affect the vitamin d.
The american diet is hardly short of protein requirements either. Its more a problem of carb excess (which that milk is loaded with) than protein shortage. Also your blood level of calcium helps the vitamin D. Calcium is not like the water soluble vitamins where you have to take it again and again. The body has a store of it. When you run low it takes it from your bones.
Fat people actually have a higher storage of vitamin D. Which is kinda cool how the body works together...So we all know being fat can put you at risk for heart disease right? Vitamin D is now showing that it helps prevent heart disease! Its one more reason to avoid genetically modified foods...who knows whats in there that could balance you out?
I guess you didn't read the whole article you linked too. There was a response at the bottom that pretty much invalidated "the milk is bad" for you argument.

I linked the article for the calcium chart. I guess you did not read it either because the end was his opinion on it. And skim milk (which he mentions) is very low in vitamin D. Whole milk is a/k/a vitamin d milk.
He is also complaining he does not want to eat vegetables.
The charts are from the USDA.
With calcium, to eat in veggies actually maxes your absorption too because it is spread out through the day. You need to eat calcium like that to get the max benefits.
But the article the negative anti veggie eater was talking about had a quote from the doctor that wrote it:
"In other words, adequate amounts of vegetables are BETTER SOURCES OF CALCIUM THAN MILK AND CHEESE.. A 1990 report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded that greens such as broccoli and kale have high levels of calcium which is absorbed at least as well as that in milk."
i think i'd probably get sick from all that chocolate milk.
