Excerpt from Woman's Institute Library of Cookery: Milk, Butter, and Cheese, Eggs, Vegetables Milk is used to such a great extent because it fills many of the requirements of an ideal food. It is generally liked, requires little or no time for preparation, agrees with the majority of persons when used properly, and contains substances that supply energy and build and repair tissue.
