> Same for milk. I can drink German milk without problems but American milk gives me stomach problems. There are many different kinds of 'American milk'. A primary difference is what the different farmers feed their cows. A few years ago I suffered through the History Channel's Modern Marvels episode about cotton. There's a bit towards the about how cottonseed meal (a waste product of the cotton industry) is commonly used as feed for the dairy industry. Someone commented about how they taste a difference for the week after farmers switch their cows from summer rations to silage -- it takes a week for the cows' bacteria to adjust. I should find that comment & favorite it... Ah, here: You can always tell when the cows switch between grass and silage in the spring and fall. Milk tastes like garbage for a week or two until they get sorted out. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12893287 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12893287
