My wife's sister, who happens to be a nun, has been staying with us for a few weeks and I have been gently trying to steer her towards healthier vegan foods. She saw me making a batch of my morning muesli recipe and seemed impressed by all the healthy ingredients so I offered to fix her some in the morning.
Of course I was going to use my normal unsweetened soy milk but then she made a point of asking for hers with skim cow's milk... sigh. The muesli is tasty enough that she would hardly have noticed any difference but she has to have the d*** cow secretions!
I guess those casomorphins (protein fragments from the digestion of the casein in milk) really are addictive. And why shouldn't they be? The chemical structure is similar to morphine and the calf is supposed to be "hooked" on its mother's milk for the first 6-8 months. I am just annoyed that she had to specifically ask for cow milk because she wouldn't have noticed the difference and
then I would have told her afterwards. Phooey.
