Abstract

When studying the geography of diet, a fascinating topic is milk. milk is the food that mammals, including humans have as their first food. It is a food for the new eater, a drinkable essence created by a mother for the challenging diet of her young. When our ancestors begin getting involved in dairy they took on the cow, the ewe, and the goat as their surrogate mothers. These animals performed the amazing task of turning fields of otherwise useless meadow and straw into endless nourishment. milk is a form of sustenance that humans have used for a very long time, so long in fact that the exact hearth is unknown. There is much evidence though which gives us information about the likely origin of it, and how it developed from there. The modern conception of milk turned it from a precious and marvelous resource into an ordinary commodity that can be produced with great efficiency, in great quantities. This essay will begin by discussing the hearth of milk with as much locational precision as possible.
