Dear Mrew2Vier, would you kindly review the above translation ? Should it not be something like: Milk is good food ? As far as I know the original sentence is in Japanese and it doesn't mention beverage, does it ?

Well this is only a note so that your example can stand in line with the other ones.

Friendly.

The Japanese uses the word 食品 which means 'foodstuff'. Describing 'milk' as 'food' is not natural, which is why it was changed to 'beverage'.

The problem here is that the other translations were based on the previous 'food' translation, and may now be inaccurate.
