Is this an English saying???

"Milk delivers are healthier than the ones who drink milk."

I was taught that it is a western proverb(saying).
If so, is this an English proverb?

Native English speakers, do you think the sentence makes sense?
Have you ever heard of that(similar) expression?

"Milk delivers are healthier than the ones who drink milk."
Please correct this proverb, if it seems awkward.

"Milk delivers are healthier than the ones who drink milk."

I have never heard of this proverb before. Also, it would make more sense if it read:

"Milk deliverers are healthier than the ones who drink milk."

I've never heard anything like this, nor do I really know what it should mean...

Well, if you deliver milk every morning, you'll get exercise naturally and you can be an early-bird type of person as well.
I think the sentence emphasizes the importance of waking up early and getting an exercise.

"The man who delivers milk everyday is healthier than the one who drinks it everyday."
My textbook says it's an western proverb, but I guess it's not from English. =p

Anyway, do you still have a hard time to get the meaning of the sentence?
"The man who delivers milk everyday is healthier than the one who drinks it everyday."

Anyway, do you still have a hard time to get the meaning of the sentence?
"The man who delivers milk everyday is healthier than the one who drinks it everyday."

I understand it, but as I said, I've never heard anyone use it in England.

It doesn't make sense, and I 've certainly never heard that expression.

I think it makes sense after Native Korean explained it, but I wouldn't understand the meaning without the explanation.

By the way, in the original post, "milk delivers" should be "milkmen". "Milk deliverers" (the additional -er is necessary to indicate "one who delivers") would be understood, but "milkman" is the universal term.

There has been a trend towards avoiding names of professions ending with -man: policeman becomes police officer; fireman becomes firefighter... less often, mailman becomes letter carrier. But I don't think there is a generally-accepted corresponding term for milkman.

Do they have milkmen in other countries? (we do in Britain). I've never heard that proverb used in Britain.

We used to have them in America, but as far as I know, they're generally nowhere to be found anymore. I would watch old Looney Tunes cartoons and see milkmen there, and the idea always has struck me as a little strange. It made sense before refrigeration was common, of course, but I didn't think about that at the time.

We do have milkmen here in South Korea.
