Dear Becky,

Nope! I'm raving right along with you!

So, I suppose cows drink human milk so they can have enough milk for their
calves? (isn't that quite an image??) We are the ONLY species that drinks
the milk of other animals. Does anyone else think that's kind of weird?
(Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE milk! I just have a problem with it being sold
as a "health food").
