MILK = MAMMAL FAST FOOD
Milk is one of the ways female mammals—including your pet cat, a whale, and a domestic cow (usually a Holstein, Jersey, or other breed)—nurse their babies. It’s water, fat, sugar, and protein in one slurpable pack. When people talk about a “dairy cow,” they mean a cow raised partly to share that milk after a calf is born, not just to mow the lawn. Kind management matters: calm cows, clean barns, and people who know animal care.
