The tundra and boreal forest/taiga regions around the Arctic are full of reindeer. Arctic peoples have long herded and milked reindeer in Russia, Scandinavian countries, Canada, and the US. Could peoples like the Eskimo, the Sami, and indigenous Russian tribes create an industry around reindeer milk? I sure hope so.
Reindeer milk, the next tourism industry for Arctic?http://www.adn.com/article/reindeer-milk-next-tourism-industry-arctic
I am a milk aficionado. Don't do wine or cigars. I am interested in tasting milk from animals beyond the usual source, cows. Modern cow's milk comes from mutated Holstein cows and has been linked to autism; the problem likes in the protein A1 casein.
For about 8 years now I have been drinking goat milk, which is great except it costs 4 times what even organic cow's milk costs. Goat's milk is $16 a gallon.
I have heard that donkey milk has special properties like cleansing your system, but in Bolivia and Chile I was not able to track down donkey milk despite running around a market asking for it. "There used to be a guy who came with a donkey once a day... but he stopped coming last year" they said.
People drink many types of milk in various parts of the world--water buffalo in India where cows are sacred, camel in Africa and Asia, yak, and many more.
