That whole "got milk" campaign was a load of bullshit.

It turns out only about 30% of the global human population is able to even digest milk.

That, and most traditional dairy consuming European cultures never actually drank milk. They made cheese and butter, then poured the remainder in the pig trough to turn those calories into pork.

Absolutely. Mainly a problem of conservation of raw milk.

Mainly a marketing campaign by the dairy lobby

The most delicious of calories.

They made cheese and butter

The Nuer (a cattle-herding people from Sudan) would pour milk into gourds and add cow urine and leave it in the sun for months. I love eating food from around the world but that is one thing I would pass on. They never drank milk, but if they needed liquid calories they would poke a hole in a cow and drink some of their blood.
