\"QuestionImage\"<\/a>  Why doesn’t cream separate from milk in a cow’s udder? <\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"  Because the natural enzymes in a cow’s body act as a kind of internal blender. You can, if you wish, put your ear on a cow’s udder and actually hear the blending process. You can even twist the cow’s ear to achieve different effects, such as mix, whip and puree. I can’t recommend listening to a cow’s udder, however. It makes the cow very nervous. Putting one’s head under a cow is a job for a trained scientist. By the way, a cow can actually produce ice cream. Since this process involves putting a cow in a cyclotron and spinning her at 500 revolutions per second in subzero temperatures, I can’t really recommend this process either. You should probably just go to the store for your dairy products like everybody else and leave the poor cow alone. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
