I'd be awfuly upset if I couldn't have a nice slice of Wensleydale. Or the cheese, either. <br /><br />This is NOT true of all humans. lactase persistance (the ability to produce lactose digesting enzymes into adulthood) is common in europeans and by inference most Americans, wheras Japanese tend to genetically be more lactose intolerant- though culturally, the increase of milk products in Japan is not causing any apparent difficulty. <br /><br />Cats will most certaily seek out spilled milk in a dairy, and will stand and wait for you to squirt milk at them from the udder while milking. Cats when feeling comfy will do a knewading thing withtheir front paws which is a carryover from stimulating milk production in the mothers. <br /><br />I have seen with my own eyes coyotes gleefully chewing away at the udders of a goat they had taken down. The only thing stopping animals from drinking milk is apparently opposable thumbs. yes, a monkey will milk a cow if shown how, and drink the milk.

It's extremely sweet, and rich.* I'm frankly shocked that it's not more common. <br /><br />When Louis and Clark hired some native American guides to help them across the Great Divide, the <br />Indians told them to buy more horses and dogs from the Indian tribes. They used the horses to carry more food and supplies as they went over the mountains. Then as food grew scarce, they began eating the dogs. Then, as dogs grew scarce, they began eating the horses. This was all according to the Injun's plan; this was How It Was Done. The white men in the Corps Of Discovery were disgusted. Some, like Lewis, were from a Virginian horse culture that was very heavily indoctrinated in them. <br /><br />_____________________<br />*I also note that my kids grew ridiculously quickly on the stuff, and were very healthy babies.Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.com
