The local (well, "hinterland) Maleny Dairy sells unhomogenised milk in
the Coles down the bottom of the street. I keep going to buy it, but
Peter goes through his "It's got bugs in it" script (Me: "That's not how
homogenisation works"; Peter: "Well they wouldn't do it if it wasn't for
a good reason"...and so on). I've nearly convinced him to try it though.
If only they sold it in 3 litre containers...
To answer your question, milk turned into a "medicine" when Walt Disney
got together with the CIA, MI5, ASIO (ASIO staff are the ones always
sent out to get everyone coffee), the International Dairy Board and the
extraterrestrials that have bunkered down for secrecy under the
Antarctic ice, to create a mind-control and pacifying "medicine" that
could be self-administered unwittingly by a global population. This is
part of the reason why when you take photos (which were once processed
by your friendly, neighbourhood government stooge/processing lab, but
are now automatically transmitted via the interwebs, bluetooth and wifi
to a central repository), you automatically ask your subjects to say
"Cheese" - it triggers the endorphin and morphine pump at the top of
your spine to momentarily relax you enough that the photos can later be
interpreted by body language and facial expression experts for
undesirable self-motivation. Alas, American is under the sway of the
hypnotic trigger of the "Got milk?" campaign, which means their
pacification has reached such a degree that they are the prime source
of, and most vulnerable to the evils of, "reality television". It also
causes them to be increasingly hostile to France and to the French
rebels who fight the "'isation' of milk at all times always knowing the
price of failure.
Anyway, I've said too much. I can see the "Dairy Farmers Re-education
Truck" coming up the hill, so I've got to run. Remember, dare to
un-dairy, cut the cheese, give the curds away, and don't keep lettin
them slip the secret pasteurise.
