I sort of disagree. Sure, cows milk is less suitable for human
consumption than human milk. But most people living now grew up on
just that cows milk, or sheep or goat. I have seen the positive
effects of milk on undernourished children in the third world. The difference
in health, vigor and growth between kids who get milk and those who
do not is sharp.

To debate the perfectly conceived diet is one thing. We may agree that
cows milk causes some problems in some people, and is indigestible by
some. But to say humans are unable to properly digest it at any stage
of life is going too far.
