I think the more important question is.. why doesn't milk taste like hay?
I have had milk right from the cow after being milked on a farm and it DID taste like hay/grass. I could not drink it, my father was sure I would get TB. Even everything my friend cooked with the milk had that "grassy" taste. Yuck.
I was in a conversation with an acquaintance once about raising backyard chickens for eggs. A friend of the acquaintance turned to me with a look of snobbish shock on her face (obviously think I was an idiot) and asked, "What the hell do chickens have to do with eggs?"
I just stared back, flabbergasted, and her friend got red in the face and tried to explain things to her while I walked away.
I had some chickens for awhile and was amazed at the percentage of people who remarked:
"But don't you need a rooster to get eggs?" These were otherwise well-educated people. I didn't want to get into a comparative biology lesson but geez.
Btw, my brownish-red hens DID lay brown eggs, and the white ones laid white eggs. The grey ones laid green and bluish eggs.
I had some horse milk directly out of the udder (via cup, lol) and it didn't taste grassy. Good!

Makes me nostalgic for dear old mom. Wish she hadn't eaten so much garlic.
Seven percent of all American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, according to a nationally representative online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy.
Umm, no.
More likely, seven percent of all American adults like to tweak the media for asking stupid questions, and watch the pollsters swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
I don't know statistics and/or percentages on this, but I know that I never thought it came from brown cow. Only time I did was grammar school (aka till 5th grade). I am probably showing I was a little kid when I believed it.
