Name two beliefs that always go hand-in-hand.

I’ll start:

1. Cattle are the only animals that produce milk
2. All cattle produce milk

What cite do you have for your quoted belief?

As it happens:

1. I believe mainly mammals produce milk.
2. I believe females produce milk.

Eons ago I read (in a Men’s magazine\*) that human males are capable of producing milk and the only reason that fact is largely unknown is that nobody tries to stimulate a man’s milk glands sufficiently to start the process.

–G!

\*And, in fact, this was many years before there were reports of young boys growing breasts. There were several stories about cases in Mexico related to an excess of a growth hormone in beef and/or chicken that those boys were eating voraciously.
