What IS milk?
i am to write an expository speech on the topic of MILK. what really is milk? raw milk? where did it ORIGINATE?
if i were given exactly 8 minutes to speak, what would i inform to the judges? i know you wont write my speech for me, thats my job. :] i just need to know what to work with. what i should mention. and some of my questions i cant seem to find the answer to.
- who actually thought of [and when] to drink milk from a cow's udder?
- how does the female human[or mammal] produce milk? Do they know to produce milk right after the baby is born? or was it there their whole life? how DOES it all work?

According to dictionary.com, one of the definitions of milk is “an opaque white or bluish-white liquid secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals, serving for the nourishment of their young.” Another definition is “any liquid resembling this, as the liquid within a coconut, the juice or sap of certain plants, or various pharmaceutical preparations.”
Wikipedia adds that “Animal milk was first used as human food at the beginning of animal domestication. Cow’s milk was first used as human food in the Middle East. Goats and sheep were domesticated in the Middle East between 9000 and 8000 BCE.”
