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. carol brussel IBCLC laura nevada lactation whose household includes many animals, but no goats *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
