Drinking another mammals milk. WTF is all that about?

Why would anyone want to do such a thing?

And past weaning unecessary and slightly disgusting.

I think it should be stopped.

If you bf and get mastitis you give your child you own pus.

Goats wuld be the same. What is the point of drinking something aimed t sustaining a mamalian baby?

Obvosly if yu are a mammal baby you need milk for susenance. but not if you are an adult and ever weirder to want to drink the milk of a different species.

why does waitrose not sell horse milk? or dolphin milk?

I don't like milk myself and understand the ugh factor but I do think you are being silly. There is no mucus and pus is just another word for white blood cells, which exist aplenty in breast milk, for example, and are vital part of the health benefits of breast milk.
Milk is a very healthy food. Kids who drink milk and eat cheese etc have a hugely reduced risk of disease in later life.

It is disgusting. And the treatment of cows to produce it is APPALLING.
But, it's no worse than eating meat.
And I really don't like soymilk in my tea. Plus I am a complete cheese addict, sigh.
Plus I love the taste of cow's milk.
Alardi skips off merrily to the disgusting hypocrite's corner.

I'm sorry but you eat cheese and you're complaining about people who drink milk?

You are still consuming the milk of another species.

Because no one can hold their breath long enough to milk a dolphin.

Puss is ctually the product infection. not just white blood cells which does indeed exist in milk.
i'm sure there are disgustinglinks to the effects of mass production of milk and untreated mastitis in cows but i can't be arsed to look for tem.

the fact is. it is disgusting.
