Badger Milk

In a wholly introspective view, I find it interesting that I’m not putting human milk in my tea. The fact that I’m putting cows milk in my tea seems a little out of place. From an anthropological perspective, this could be a notable point.

As I have discovered, the factual aspect behind Hindu culture, where the cow is sacred, a fact that has little to do with Bacillus anthaxis and a whole lot more to do with milk. Cows milk to be exact. Where in India, and everywhere else where they practice Hinduism as whole, the cow (albeit presumably female cows) are sacred due to the fact that they provide milk. “Do not kill the cow, or you will lose the cows milk.“ Milk, or milk derivatives, to drink. Some individuals may assert that this is mostly due to the unsanitary conditions of local watercourses, where people wash, shit, and put dead bodies into. Thus incapacitating their ability to provide drinking water to support human life.

Whereby through the medium of agriculture, the cow is now sacred as it provides milk, not to support young cows, but simply for humans to drink in the absence of drinkable water. In what some may have argued, is a facet of the rise of human civilisation.

At this point, I would ask the question, why, and where is the source of the taboo, where humans after the process of weaning, would find it unsuitable to drink human milk? Human milk, in its most intrinsic sense, made by humans for humans. How would it be more natural, for humans to drink not human milk, but instead to drink cows milk?

Herein, lies the fundamental question.

I would ask, as humans, why do we drink cows milk, or goats milk, or llama milk, though not human milk? If in the case that human milk is indeed unsuitable for humans, why are our children drinking it and why in the midst of modern agricultural processes are we limited to drinking a very narrow selection of the alternative mammalian milks available to us?

Why not drink hedgehogs milk, or bats milk? If the size of the mammal concerned is a problem, why not whale milk? With regard to the current UK overpopulation of badgers, why are we seeking to cull these animals, instead of drinking badger milk. Yes, badger milk. Why exactly, are we not drinking badger milk?

As I am sure you may agree, there are many issues here which raise fundamental questions that still remain unanswered.
