Why don’t we drink other animals’ milk?
- hardwear 14y agoPigs are actually similar to humans in many ways. “What we've discovered,” says Lee, “uh, what we've concluded, you know, is basically that the machine that would fit a pig's teat is a human breast pump. It fits perfectly.” Too bad they did not describe what pig's milk is like, or how “Anyone who farms pigs would say that pigs' milk would make an incredible cheese,” How would an ordinary farmer know, having never collected the milk?
