Why We Don't Drink Pig's Milk

A thorough response from an intern at the Illinois Pork Producers Association.

  1. Sounds like a market niche for a relatively simple engineering solution to milking.

    Oh, wait. FDA will want a regulation. So will the EPA. And Dept of Ag. Probably Interior, too.

    California will insist on minimum milking cage sizes and pig diets.

    And there are the nuisance suits: PETA, ASPCA. Feminists--how dare you objectify a sister, treating her like a milking machine!?

    [Sigh]

  2. Not to mention that pigs are omnivores with iffy tempers. In principle, you could raise wolves for their milk.

  4. If you wanted to use pigs for milk, you'd then have to be more particular about what they ate, I suspect.

    I suppose it could be a cottage industry like goat's milk.
