They're not warm blooded. Maybe they're flamingos.

And they produce dairy-free milk, whereas mammal milk is definitely of the dairy variety.

Is human milk a dairy product?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Human milk certainly contains Lactose and Whey Protein.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

But is it a dairy product?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I just gave you a pretty succinct definition of Dairy. Yes.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Google shows conflicting answers and the Wikipedia page doesn't list human milk.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well if you go by FDA's Title 21 Chapter I Subchapter B Part 131 Subpart B then not only is human milk not a dairy product but the only animal who produces milk is a cow, however in 2018 they requested submissions weighing in on whether plant products should continue to use "dairy group" words such as milk and yogurt on their labeling, so I think there is probably some leeway on this.

Some kids are gonna go hungry, no goats milk for ewes.

And we all know how trustworthy Google Search is...

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 months ago

Not actually using Google, just using it as a generic term for search.

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yes, but it's pretty difficult to buy.

[–] SamVimes@beehaw.org 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also... Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.

There's apparently also breastmilk ice-cream!

Also, beware the diseases. Milk can spread virus AFAIK.

They’re not warm blooded.

depends on the climate. natural habitat: yes. grocery store: no.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

By definition, "warm blooded" means "produce their own heat" (obviously drastically simplified). I don't think it matters whether the coconut is on a deserted island or on the shelf at Woollies, it's still not warm blooded.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What if it's on fire, using it's own energy to produce the heat?

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 5 points 5 months ago

As I'm burning I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm finally mammal.

-the coconut

I mean, that sounds like poikilothermy to me
