This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Just look at it this way:

there are/were a lot of nomadic tribes in human history. All of them wanted to eat, or at least have a stable and significant source of calories. Most of them lived in semi-fertile land though, which was not fertile enough for wheat/corn. So what they did was take a goat, let it eat all of the grass/flowers that naturally grew, and it produced milk for the humans. This way, both humans and the goat could live.

How is that relevant to modern age? By that logic nothing is ick and everything is justifiable cause at some point it was ok with our ancestors ๐Ÿฅฑ

Thanks for educating us. I guess we can safely say that milk drinking was considered acceptable by our ancestors due to their terrible desperation, much as cannibalism among stranded sailors is excusable.
