i believe this goats milk thing came out of the counter-culture and the
sixties here in the usa. the idea is that you move back to the land and
support yourself and become self-sufficient and goats are easier to raise
than cows, and "better" for the land, etc. so it has become associated with
the all-natural organic type food idea. the big interest in goats milk
formula in my area is always associated with people who have beliefs about
organic and healthy foods. they have always heard how bad formula (see? the
message is clear) and so they want something better.
