I seldom drink milk, but I've heard about it. It's
that kind of white stuff that comes from cows, I
guess. Cows are things with four legs, two horns and a
tail, who look at the trains and sometimes say "meuh
!" (as long as French cows are concerned, anyway). I
doubt they ever heard anything about concepts like
0.5% fat milk.

Well, there was a time when milk came from cows.
