Remember grains and cereals were considered the most healthy foods and were the base of the food pyramid? Well now gluten is the new enemy.

Grains and cereals were considered the base of the food pyramid because they provide a substantial amount of calories and nutrients while providing a lot of bulk sensation. They've never been considered the most healthy foods: that's what vegetables are. They're just the most reasonable production cost wise and hence it makes the most sense to recommend them to fill the bulk of one's diet. As for "gluten is the new enemy", that's only as true as "peanuts are the old enemy". Ie, a minority of people are effected and it's now a fad

But how am I supposed to enjoy cereal?

Most cereal is great for marshmallow squares! :)

As for the poll, it's not really answerable. It's like asking if peanuts or gluten are unhealthy. The supposed healthy reasons for milk aren't particularly compelling--vegetables almost always are better in that area. Some of the possible ecological ones are questionable--as fresh water supplies are a serious concern for the future. Taste and tradition are the big reasons, and it's hard to argue against it because it's not like we've really moved to the point that people will willing eat a few foods no matter how much we know it's enough to fulfill their dietary needs.

Then again, most people (me included) don't really eat that healthy because, in part, we don't plan to live forever and think the quality of life is at least as important as the quantity of life.

If you drink milk like water, then yeah, it's bad for you, but the same is true for ANY sugary beverage. Doesn't matter if it's whole or skim. It's one of the ways people end up consuming way more calories than they need.
Just drink water normally, and only drink other beverages (including milk (including what you put on your cereal)) as an occasional treat and you'll be fine ;)

Chocolate milk IS bad for you if it's prepackaged. If you get milk and add the cocoa or choco, then it's fine, but prepackaged choco milk is literally "expired" milk sent back from stores, then they add choco to make it last longer and repackage as choco milk.

So, why is it bad again? Just because some government says it is?

South Korean Government issued a warning of "fan death" which stated that leaving the fan on in an a closed room can kill you.
It is a commonly believed superstition in korea but lacks any concrete evidence or scientific explanation.
