I’m seeing an interesting parallel between my work gigs on energy transition stuff (fossil fuels + combustion tech to renewables+electricity tech) and personal life efforts to gradually move to a plant-based diet. Cc @vegan @RyanBethencourt

As is the tomato - sure. I would be stunned to learn that the cow only became sacred after the Brits imported it. After all, they make their chai the Indian way. ;) seriously though, while not ancient, milk seems vital in South Asia:https://www.ecologise.in/2017/04/17/how-indians-started-drinking-milk-and-what-it-has-cost-us/ …

Anthropological evidence suggests the cow became sacred fairly late, and not for dairy but because bulls were of high value as draught animals, and as population in south asia grew, cow slaughter taboo emerged to protect draught power. Dairy gained centrality as a side effect.
