       biology, and culture in India and the United States. 
520    "Milk is the only food mammals produce naturally to feed 
       their offspring. The human species is the only one that 
       takes milk from other animals and consumes it beyond 
       weaning age. Cultures of Milk contrasts the practices of 
       the world's two leading milk producers, India and the 
       United States. In both countries, milk is considered to 
       have special qualities. Drawing on ethnographic and 
       scientific studies, popular media, and government reports,
       Andrea Wiley reveals that the cultural significance of 
       milk goes well beyond its nutritive value. Shifting 
       socioeconomic and political factors influence how people 
       perceive the importance of milk and how much they consume.
       In India, where milk is out of reach for many, consumption
       is rising rapidly among the urban middle class. But milk 
       drinking is declining in America, despite the strength of 
       the dairy industry. Milk is bound up in discussions of 
       food scarcity in India and food abundance in the United 
       States. Promotion of milk as a means to enhance child 
       growth boosted consumption in twentieth-century America 
       and is currently doing the same in India, where average 
       height is low. Wiley considers how variation among 
       populations in the ability to digest lactose and ideas 
       about how milk affects digestion influence the type of 
       milk and milk products consumed. In India, most milk comes
       from buffalo, but cows have sacred status for Hindus. In 
       the United States, cow's milk has long been a privileged 
       food, but is now facing competition from plant-based 
       milk."--Publisher's description.
