Here's some food for thought.
Think about it....
...who was the first to look at a pair of cow-tiddies, and think "Hmm, I wonder what those taste like?"
Also, under what circumstances did that happen:
**************
Anywho, my point is:
why do we drink the milk of cloven-hooved worm-ridden ruminants like cattle, camels, and goats.... when the females (and males!) of our own species are more than capable of producing good milk and plenty of it.
I mean, we have facilities and programs where you can donate Blood, Plasma, Semen, or even your organs when you're deceased; so why not breast milk??
The benefits are plentiful:
It'd be great for the economy, as the potential supply/demand is nigh-limitless. And that's not even taking into account whatever potential taxes may be applied/derived.
It'd be a new branch of dairy science. Also, techniques on safely getting a stable supply or more breastmilk post-partum will likely be introduced.
It'd be great for the environment, as a smaller cattle (which produce more methane relative to their body size than any other mammal) population would then be needed.
And last but not least; it'd be great for health & society, as lactose intolerance rates would no-doubt significantly decline..... also as donating-women would have even more encouragement to monitor and keep their breast in tiptop condition.
.........so basically, what I'm asking is: why haven't we dumped the heifers and switched to chicks?
When you really think about it, what's the downside?

Also, under what circumstances did that happen:
- a father desperate to provide milk for the infant of his deceased wife?
- a deranged bestialist? (perhaps the ancestor of an unmentioned A.netter? )
- someone famished by hunger/thirst due to terrain (i.e., a desert); with only the company of livestock (e.g., a camel)?
- etc?
