ARGHHHH.  This is so annoying.  At what point, pray tell, does the milk of
another animal -- or a vegetable, for that matter, become more nutritious and
of more benefit to ANY human, than human milk?  I just don't get it!  I
suspect, if it were available in the quantities that cow's milk was
available, that human milk would be the beverage of choice for ALL humans.
