 Book Log 2020 #62: Milk! by Mark Kurlansky

Just as he did for cod and salt, Kurlansky offers a global history of milk, tracing how we went from really only getting breast milk as babies to drinking, eating, and licking the variety of milk products throughout our lives.

I kind of found that this book was less than the sum of its parts. Plenty of interesting facts and stories, but I never really got caught into the general narrative. This is kind of how his books have gone for me after Cod, so be forewarned.
