All about the milk.....

dutchy101 this one is really really good.

Oh yeah… I forgot Jersey milk is not homogenised. I’ve tried it before as a flat white, but I feel I had a meal afterwards… 🤣

I do like milk, but part of me also thinks humans were not originally designed to drink milk as adults. In fact, we humans are the only mammals who drink milk as adults. So I do try to keep it for coffee only. I usually have porridge for breakfast, and for that I just use water. I’m not a fan of oat milk myself (I have tried), specially those you buy at the supermarket as there are a lot of additives added.

And probably the only mammals who brew coffee.

And the only ones who drink milk from another species…

Of course there’s always human milk for your coffee ;)

Now… that’s a step too far. 🤣

The preserve of billionaires…I expect Jeff and Elon have a few pints chilling in the fridge…….

It’s mostly true, except for descendents of Northern Europeans. Our ancestors acquired a mutation that allows consumption of milk past the infant stage.

For the Irish, it was their main food group for hundreds of years.

Loonster - yep. I was specifically referring to the mutation. It wasn’t the case, until some of us evolved (mutated) to be able to consume milk.

Vague memories that the ability to eat cheese/butter etc (which were able to be stored) over those cold Northern European winters was a genetic advantage.
Those who could live through the conditions survived and bred.

I have become lactose intolerant in my dotage.
I was visiting a friend in another city last year and asked if we could stop to pick up some lactose free milk.
His response was, “Dude, I’m Sri Lankan, I’ve been drinking lactose free milk all my life”.
I had made him hundreds of milk coffees over decades and he had never mentioned it.

If having trouble with milk, I would try A2 milk. This is a protein more similar to human milk. (And also what most cows produced before A1 became more widespread).
