Poll of the Day > Whyyy drink another mammal's milk

(+) Yeah! (+)

Today's cereal poll reminded me of how normal people think it is to drink a female cow's milk, or rather, a female cow's secreted breast juice. I renounced it at age four, because I realised I'm not cattle.

The facts:

- No other mammal drinks the milk of another mammal
- No other mammal drinks milk during adulthood
- Adult mammals cannot normally digest milk, nor do they require it
- All mammals only produce milk during their offspring's infancy
- A milk giving mammal needs to be continually impregnated in order to secrete enough milk to satisfy human demand
- Cow milk is actually not that similar to human milk
- A vast majority of humans is lactose intolerant
- Milk is for baby cows
- Humans are not cows
- You are a human

Do with these facts what you will, but please also remember that the only white, protein rich liquid that is secreted by a mammal that you ever should drink is your mom's.

it tastes really good

- No other mammal does something so we shouldn't either

Yet here you are using a computer. Hypocrite.

Dont require a lot of things. You play video games bro? Your body does not require that either. Better stop.

Ever heard of a wetnurse?

Now as much as I'd like to keep reading and debunking, you started off your list off with 3 objectively false facts, and one nothing statement. so I'm just gonna assume everything else you wrote is equally asinine and move on.

Are you sure that's not your mammalian baby, milk craving taste palate talking?

There's a difference between tools and nutrients. Not sure if you've ever been explained this?

You seem to not understand. Cats, like other mammals, cannot digest nor do not require milk as adults. The milk can ferment in their stomachs since they lack the necessary enzymes, causing sickness. I'm just gonna assume everything else you wrote is equally asinine and move on.

Edit: I accidentally did read on, slightly, and saw the word wetnurse. You're correct, in that a wetnurse can produce milk for another animal, even another species of mammal. I forgot to mention that. But, this still only applies to infants.

If we eat their flesh, drinking their milk isn't that far of a stretch...

For the gaaiinzzz

I can't remember the last time I drank milk.

TL;DR: Not your momma; Not your milk.

I agree. Besides, human mama milk tastes like the milk left in the bowl after eating all the Frosted Flakes. In other words, its GRRRREEEEAT!

I need to test this hypothesis.

Because I can and because cheese, butter and ice cream are things.

Oh, most definitely. AND its good for body building apparently.

Be warned, if youre going to pimp out your GFs milkshake, youre going to have to sift through A LOT of weirdos before you find a legit bodybuilder. Bodybuilders know the taste and just want the stuff; willing to pay good money. Weirdos always want to see boobies. God damn wastes of time.

If other animals knew how to milk a cow they'd do it too.

you mean to tell me animals that routinely eat their own shit to get every last sliver of nutrient out of it would take the essentially free food if they knew how?

There's no difference in that they are both fallacious arguments. I stopped reading after your first couple points. If you need to rely on fallacies to justify your argument then your argument is not worth considering.

- A vast majority of humans is lactose intolerant

Yea... it's a superior mutation typically seen in areas where milk products helped people survive. Like through the winter.

My brother is inferior for his lactose intolerance, I am superior since it expands my dietary options.

Because we can. I mean, a bunch of things 'aren't natural' but humanity persisted and found ways to do it anyways. Coffee is pretty highly toxic yet humanity figured out how to turn it into a brew for example. And it's not like other places in the world don't do things that the western world finds weird but are perfectly normal to them.

You know other things other mammals dont do? Use the internet. Go to space. Build cars.

Bad argument is bad.

Well there have been a few other mammals that have gone to space.

Are we Human?
Or are we Hamsters?
My fur is cuddly,
My nose is cold,
And I'm on my wheel looking for the answer.
Are we Human, or are we Hamsters?
