Its only Human Beings
\nThat consume milk after weaning
\nWhen we exchanged our milk teeth
\nwith the Tooth Fairy the meaning
\nWas really insignificant
\nNutrition didn’t play
\na part in the transaction
\nSadly,I have to say<\/p>\n
Lactase is, an intestinal enzyme
\nPut there so our bodies can digest
\nLactose, as we age though it diminishes
\nAnd actually we’re not then at our best
\nReaching into Middle Age
\nA prevalence appears
\nAn intolerance to Lactose
\ninto our later years<\/p>\n
Bovine Milk designed for calves
\nHas undergone a lot
\nsqueezed out of an udder
\nHave we lost the plot!
\nPasteurization hailed to be
\nA refinement of our Time
\nA process that was necessary
\none that saw sales climb<\/p>\n
Upwards in the ratings
\nWith its layer of thick cream
\nWhich separated on the top
\nMilk was then supreme
\nThe ideal food for infants
\nWith nutrients they need
\nDesigned for their precocial young
\nSo where does all this lead?<\/p>\n
Human Beings are like primates
\nAltricial, helpless souls
\nAnd feeding them on food designed
\nfor Ungulates sees holes
\nOpening in nutrition
\nHuman milk v Cows
\nits so completely different
\nWith very different powers<\/p>\n
The Calf for instance walks
\nAway directly after birth
\nIt needs the kinds of minerals
\nto increase its bone and girth
\nIts brain is not as prominent
\nso taking this on board
\nCan alter our perception
\nand question the reward<\/p>\n
It wastes a lot of energy
\nFor the interface requires
\nA very small percentage
\nThe rest lost in the mires
\nconverted into heat from friction
\ndenaturing the food
\nThey then exchanged the bottle
\nAnd the carton did exclude<\/p>\n
Evidence of cream
\nthat raised our expectations high
\nDispersal could eliminate
\nthis reason to ask why
\nSort of surreptitiously the label
\ndrew a blank
\nthey’d done the deed
\nOh! yes indeed
\nBut we didn’t know who
\nto thank<\/p>\n
Xanthine Oxidase indeed
\na culprit
\nInitially it injured us alas
\nThe vascular endothelium
\nwas damaged
\nCholesterol built up tragically
\nen masse
\nXanthine Oxidase in fact
\nwas toxic
\nEnter Kurt A Oster
\nand Hope Ross
\nZikakis, Dressel, Silver
\nand the others
\n40 years research
\nAnd I’m at a loss<\/p>\n
Milk has seen its power
\nconsigned to others
\nThe door step seller
\nlost for evermore
\nThe Supermarkets took the churn
\nand packaged it
\nAnd milk men do not leave
\nat the door<\/p>\n
Homogenized milk
\n40 years ago to-day
\nwould not have been the
\nchoice of my Mama
\nYou couldn’t sell it
\nif you couldn’t see it
\nIt just shows
\nhow more gullible we are!<\/p>\n
Drinking Bovine Milk
\nHas been a factor
\nAnother 40 years on
\nmight well see
\nAtherosclerosis at an
\nall time high
\nOrganic drinkers
\nsuffering appreciably
\nFor Parents now have
\ntaken on Organic
\nFor BSE and Foot & Mouth
\ndid bring
\nmany to their senses
\nsensible defences
\nOrganic Milk
\nwas truly going to bring<\/p>\n
All that’s best into
\nour Infants daily
\nThe calcium destroyed
\nbut not the sin
\nthe fat destroyed
\nit never could again reform
\nthe process in a nutshell
\nhad worn thin<\/p>\n
And so the Big Boys
\nmoved they re-designed it
\nthey sold it
\nfrom great chillers
\nall piled high
\nthe Public a bit cow like
\nfrom the nutrients
\nand very few stood back
\nto question why<\/p>\n
Its only Human Beings
\nthat consume milk
\nafter weaning, and go
\non to buy
\ngallons of it drinking
\nwithout meaning
\nRe- think what you now do
\nand please consider
\norganically raised
\nanimals are thought
\nto now supply
\nthe healthiest nutrition
\nThat’s why so much
\nOrganic Milk is bought
\nThe problem it may not be true
\nOr better
\nfeed it to the calf
\nthe outcome will
\nstun you for this creature
\nborn to drink it
\nwill lay down
\nand refuse to climb the hill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
