When Krishna and Balarama are caught stealing the yogurt and butter, They say, ‘Why do you charge Us with stealing? Do you think that butter and yogurt are in scarcity in Our house?’
Small Footprint Family: […] You can’t really make butter from goats milk because the cream doesn’t readily separate out like it does with cows milk. The fat molecules are very small in goat’s milk (and sheep’s milk) so it is naturally homogenized. This makes it more digestible, but not good for butter, whey or any other separative process.
Let’s be sure to distinguish between industrial milk and the milk from a small family farm or someone’s backyard cow or goat, and not make inaccurate blanket statements. No one on this page would ever recommend industrial CAFO milk, which is awful, unhealthy stuff on every level.
It should also be noted that many mammals drink other mammals milk. For instance, pigs are notorious for breaking into the dairy barn just to drink from the cows. Some animals also sometimes nurse orphan animals of other species. Primates love cow’s milk. Raccoons prefer it when dumpster diving/scrounging around in cities.
The Red Billed Oxpecker perches on the udders of Impala and drinks its milk. On Isle de Guadalupe, feral cats, seagulls, and sheathbills regularly steal the milk directly from the teats of elephant seals. Predators in savannahs fight viciously over the full udders of the nursing animals they’ve hunted down. Most animals would gladly consume milk if you gave it to them; they just lack the access, brain power, and opposable thumb to get it.
A significant portion of the human population has a gene adapted specifically for digesting animal milk, and for those who don’t have that gene, raw milk (of every type) comes with its own lactase digestive enzymes. Many people with lactose intolerance have no problem on raw milk.
Lastly, and most importantly, animal milk is the difference between life and death for millions and millions of people around the world who live where crops can’t grow well, and they depend on their goats, sheep, cows, yaks, or camels’ milk for their very health and survival. This is not selfishness.
