It was observed on another thread that it’s somehow strange that we find it unacceptable to drink human milk, when we have no problem at all with drinking basically the same thing from a different species. It’s curious.

It’s still creepy, but it’s an interesting observation nonetheless.

Here's my observation. I have no problem eating beef (meat from another species), and I sure don't want to eat humans.

Other than humans, can you name one species that nurses its young/requires milk, all through its adult life?
