What Are They Thinking, What Are They Drinking?

Some things leave me at a relative loss for words.

For those who tease me about writing posts that are too long.......

I have always found it preferable to focus on the common ground, the similarities, between people who are from different cultures, different religions, different parts of the world.

This.......was one of those instances where the gap was too large to bridge.

The notion that fundamentalists Wahhabist clergy would be arguing over the relative merits of adult men drinking women's breast milk, quibbling over using a glass, versus drinking it directly from a woman's breast, where practice prohibits a man so much as shaking the hand of a woman, boggled my mind.

That this controversy comes at a time when drinking raw, unpasteurized cow's milk has resulted in five illnesses from e. coli here in Minnesota, and the outburst from the believers in the dubious and unproven benefits of raw milk, along with comparisons between raw milk, processed milk, and breast milk adds a certain poignancy.

Truth really IS stranger than fiction.
