What I meant was this, sorry if it wasn't clear: we don't eat cow meat untreated; we've been cooking it for a long time because it's substantially safer for us. Bears and wolves have evolved special digestive systems to handle the risks of bacteria and the like from raw meat.
I don't see why we should assume that a product specifically evolved to help nourish calves should automatically be perfectly compatible with human digestion. I'm not making a religious argument.
I'm not saying you should suck on your mom's boob for forever, and I am not 100% sure how you got that from my statement; humans have evolved to get nourishment from human milk when they're young, and as far as I can tell, have also evolved to ween off of it as they get older.
I know that "meant for us" may imply some more intent than evolution provides; it was a shorthand and I apologize if it was confusing.
