I agree Kukeh, I like my mankamang kunda milk too. The steroids are so that
more babies can have milk. There are Wisconsin dairies which produce organic
milk too you know. I'm sure if bureh could afford antibiotics and hormones
you'd be walking with a bobbing head right about now. (dodolinant la tete).
Don't get all excited about sareh Mankamang kunda just yet. Gambia's population
has doubled already. Where'll all these new Gambians get mankamang kunda milk
from???? Not to forrrrget (PBUH), some of these new Gambians are in
Wisconsin. Don't get me started already. We don't wanna give Bureh any funny ideas.
Enjoy your steroid-free milk quietly. Please. I wonder if the author has ever
been to mankamang kunda???
Haruna. You're too funny when you wanna be.

Darbo Jula,
Thanks for making my Friday after a long, hot week. My question is why
do I want to know the milk comes from a steroid-laiden cow from
Wisconsin or a one from Sare Mankamang Kunda (100% hormone free), if
according to the author ".. it turns out that it has nothing to do with
the milk being organic". Pardon moi, for the rant, I just like my milk
sour and steroid-free.
