May I share a thought?
My old brain is not as quick as it once was, and thankfully, also not as mean spirited. Had I thought of this quickly it would have been colored in haughty distain and spoken as keenly as a knife’s edge.
Recently someone quoted some scientist who claims that, “no mammal, but man, drinks the milk of other mammals”, to justify the premise that there is no nutritional value in dairy products.
The fallacy of this statement is obvious, not only in light of mankind’s true relationship with the creation, for we are not, as science would have us think, only smart animals, but also, as I will show, through the experience of life lived in this world. We were not created a little higher that the animals, but rather a little lower than the angels, and this is an immense consideration.
If any of God’s animal kingdom had been given the intelligence and ability to do so, they too would make cheeses, yogurt, ice cream, whip cream, and butter, and most, if not all, of the animal creation, from mammals to birds to reptiles and fish, will gladly and enthusiastically eat any of these that they can find. Not only so, but even though, in the wild, animals will usually only suckel their own, under the taming and guidance of man, mother cats, dogs, and rabbits will suckel each other’s young, as will sows, goats, sheep, dogs, and all cattle, horses, and any like-bodied animals. I have personally raised baby rabbits and kittens on cows milk, to flourishing health, in the absence of their birth mothers, and have never seen a barn cat turn down a healthy squeeze from the teat of a milking utter.
To think otherwise is to turn a willfully blind eye to the truth of the Bible. God would not have lauded a place described as,”the land of milk and honey”, nor would He have spoken in many passages of the benefits of them if either of these were somehow inconsequential to the nutrition of His creation.
As for me, I will consume dairy to much delight and praises to God for its creation. I will also gladly relieve you of any ice cream cluttering up your freezer.
