It's a month and a half away, that's pretty close.

So, is that enough time to do some actual research?  Or have we become THAT lazy?

There are numerous, easily-located resources which will provide the history and the answer.

got milk?

Milk has not been prohibited in my lifetime. I don't believe it has been prohibited in the history of the Church. We are not vegans. We are Catholics.
At one point, both Eastern and Western Christianity forbade dairy during Lent, so it's a valid question. Now it's just the East.

It has been quite some time since it was not an issue in the West. The Liturgical Year, among other readily available sources, provides the entire history.

Milk and cheese and eggs used to be prohibited on some fast days, including Lent. 
Can you or Minnesota provide more information, please? I don’t worry my self about what eastern rites or the Orthodox prescribe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_and_abstinence_in_the_Catholic_Church

It's wikipedia, I know, not the best source, but it goes into the history a bit and I don't see why they would lie about this topic.

Also the Catholic encyclopedia:

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05789c.htm

and
