How is this any different than breast-feeding? Women suffer significant weight loss and require additional calories while breast feeding babies. Isn’t that as inherently weird? And then add to that,= the fact that most societies consume the lactose of other animals! Weird.
Er, the worms are eating their mom’s skin. Kind of different than milk, I guess – although the purpose is the same.
