Why don't people drink Monkey milk?

Answer 1

We don't even, or often, drink human milk, or dog milk. I have a hard time drinking goat milk and sometimes my stomach complains when I drink too much cows milk.

There are three issues as to the choice of milk products: taste, availability, and efficiency in production. Cows, and sometimes goats, have long proven effective most of the time in most of those aspects. Monkeys, pandas, and koala bears all produce milk but it would inefficient to make them a substantial dairy food source, they are hard to control (especially my panda example, zoos have a terrible time trying to get those critters to reproduce), and we haven't acquired a taste for it.

Answer 2

Well probably because monkeys do not produce large quantities of milk. The effort would not be worth the reward. Cows and Goats produce large quantites of milk and some Cows require daily milking.

Answer 3

Probably because it is too hard to collect it. Monkeys, like humans, don't like to sit in one place for a long time. Cows and other livestock do just stand there and let it happen.

Answer 4

Have you ever tried monkey milk? How about hippo milk or skunk milk?

Answer 5

Would you if it was avaliable?
Seriously though, I don't know about the nutritional value, but it is obviously much more difficult to produce in large quantities then cow's milk.

Answer 6

How do you know? I wouldn't put it past them. There's probably guys out there diving into monkey brains! Even as we speak!

Answer 7

probably the same reason monkeys don't drink ours...could be why they are much more intelligent

Answer 8

its logistics - cows are placid and monkeys fling poo, thus cows are easier to deal with.

Answer 9

My mom didn't produce it.
