Cow’s milk is really for calves, not humans; it’s just our familiarity with drinking it that makes it seem acceptable.

I may be wrong about this, but I think that in one of the Himalayan countries, it’s considered disgusting to drink the milk of another species, so they don’t drink cow’s or goat’s milk for that reason. An acquired taste, apparently.
 
I think cow’s milk is perfectly disgusting stuff, but I’d give this a try…😃
 
No thanks! Milk is for infants. Humans are about the only thing on the planet that continues to drink milk into adulthood.

My wife nursed our children and none turned away from her. Mother’s milk is better for the child: 1. It’s fresher. 2. It’s cleaner. 3. The cat can’t get to it. 4. It’s easier to take on a picnic, 5. It comes in such cute containers.

So, Why not as ice cream? 😃

If You Personally Want To Partake Of It, Go Right Ahead, Rich. But Personally (And I’m Sure Most Of The People Here In the Forum Agree With Me) I Find It Very EWWWWWWWW!!!, Ya Know?😛

Me neither, sound nasty.

However, some athletes drink their own urine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy

So next time you by a lemon popsicle in London, be very careful.

Personally, The Only Time I Find Drinking Your Own Urine To Be Acceptable Is When You Are In The Middle Of Nowwhere Without Food For Weeks And AS A LAST RESORT You Drink It To Keep From Dehydrating. 👍
In NO Other Circumsntance. :rolleyes:😛
 
Heck, I’d try it.

But then again, I’ve eaten calf fries and menudo. I would try almost anything as long as the sight of it didn’t make me puke.

And not all humans, either.

Most of the world’s people do not retain the ability to digest milk into adulthood. Most who do retain it are Indo-Europeans, and the majority of them can. It’s not too surprising, then, that among Indo-Europeans the consumption of milk and milk products is pretty widespread and well-accepted.

Probably it’s an ability acquired through millenia of being steppe dwellers who totally depended on their herd animals for food of any kind. Likely those without the ability didn’t make it to pass on their genetic traits, whereas lactose-intolerate people in more food-generous and therefore less animal-dependent parts of the world did.

So, when it comes to the general question of consuming milk, I think it depends on whether one is genetically programmed to handle it or not.

But personally, I have a problem with consuming human milk other than as a baby and from one’s own mother. Human pathogens have a way of being sneaky, and I just have a wariness of it completely apart from the aesthetically unappealing nature of it. As I mentioned before, transmission of pathogens is why employment of wet nurses is no longer widely practiced. Once upon a time, it was, but people learned to avoid it.
