All I want right now is a big frosty glass of creamy, ice-cold milk. And I don’t even like milk! So why the sudden cravings? No, I’m not pregnant (aiiieeee!) and no it wasn’t the siren call of Heidi Klum’s milkmaid campaign working on my addled brain. It’s deprivation, plain and simple. What’s the fastest …
