This question popped into my head after an ADHD moment of deconstructing the concept that humans willingly drink cow milk on an industrial scale. Would you drink milk if it was human women pumping the milk themselves?

    all milk comes from breasts

    edit: oh, human breasts. no, as i’ve heard it tastes gross.

        I think the best description was it tastes like the milk from a bowl of honey nut Cheerios. It was very accurate to me.

          Ironically I used a similar comparison in another comment as it’s a very good comparison.

            Just wanted to add another agreement here. It’s like milk at the bottom of a bowl of children’s cereal (er, obviously not Coco Pops).

            I’m surprised that there’s a few people saying it tastes salty. I wonder how much it depends on diet - I guess human diets vary more than cow diets do.

      That’s a fair point lol

      But as far as I’m aware when referring to non human breasts we rarely use that word.

      Mammary glands, udders, and nipples are the three that pop into my head when thinking about animal titties. Which I’m realizing I’m doing a little too much of recently lmao

      That depends on how you define breasts. From Wikipedia:

      The platypus’ mammary glands lack teats, with milk released through pores in the skin. The milk pools in grooves on the mother’s abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.

      Nah it tastes fine. Too sweet for pouring over cereal though.

        That’s the other thing: raw. I like the science behind pasteurization. I trust it.

        Edit: I also find homogenization to be convenient
