Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy.

It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.
