SC - Milky Celts

[Bethany Public Library]

As a matter of fact, they had a very Dairy society, which resulting dietary
benefits allowed them to grow to what were startling physical proportions
compared to the other neighboring cultures. Some thought them Giants. Even
Julius Caesar was in awe of their presence (including the height and
strength of their women, which he apparently experienced first hand, and was
a little startled to reached for by such towering women accustomed to social
parity<<chuckle. I guess Jules knew how to pick 'em, or rather THEY knew how
to pick HIM>>).

I could, if I were so foolish as to postulate a theory in THIS forum (I'm
not that silly, though), extrapolate that today's incredible growth rates
among children in the US might be due, in part, to the re-indoctrination of
high dairy consumption in the modern American's diet. Long-stemmed American
Beauties, we call our Beautiful Women (like the rose), sometimes.

Why no milk? Not complaining, mind you, just curious. My impression had
been the early Celts were big on cattle.
