Very true (and it's a great book) but is the jump we're expected to
make here that because humans will suckle children -- even species --
other than their own, that wild animals can be expected to have allowed
humans to drink their milk often enough for non-human milk to have
become a food to which humans are adapted??
I must admit that, with the holiday season and all, I haven't been
paying very close attention to this thread, so I could be misrepre-
senting some folks' ideas. I kinda hope so.

I agree that it does seem quite a leap and personally I don't think its all
that natural that humans drink milk from animals- I just had to set the record
straight.
