True. But we aren't infant cows. We have different and more varied needs. So I guess I'm wondering what milk would be like if we designed it for weaned humans, in various circumstances.

- thaumasiotes 5y agoTrue that we aren't infant cows, but we're very close. There aren't many nutrients that we need but they don't, or vice versa (vitamin C is an exception) -- the bigger difference would be in relative amounts. You can live quite happily for a long, long time on a diet of bread and cow milk.
