This information does not clarify that vegan sources of milk are available
This article could make it a lot clearer that there are some sources of milk which would be accessible to practitioners of veganism. When it talks about sources of milk, it tends to mention animal sources, but it does not clarify that some milk sources are from plants, such as rice milk or soya milk.

- Actually, it makes the opposite clear - that milk comes from mammals. There are substitutes for everything I suppose, but doesn't mean it should be in the article. Student7 (talk) 17:56, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Error to chart under Types of Consumption
The table listed under the heading Types of Consumption and under the sub-title Food product for Humans has an incorrect title. The title of the table currently reads Top ten per capita cow's milk and cow's milk products consumers in 2006, however, the source of that data has entitled the table Per Capita Consumption of Milk and Milk Products in Various Countries. This is significant because the way the title reads right now implies that Canada is among the top ten countries in terms of per capita milk consumption. However, in actuality, it is just amoung the top ten in the list that Professor Doug Goff has provided on his website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DairyQueen1989 (talk • contribs) 18:33, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Milk in Sweden
I have never ever seen milk in a glass bottle in modern Sweden, as stated in the article. We did have them up to perhaps the 1960s, but that is now long ago ... Please change that in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.230.183.154 (talk) 09:27, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Unit consistency
In the packaging section, the units are all different. Sometimes the switch is made to mL when the volume goes below 1L, and sometimes it's written as a decimal in litres. It doesn't look very nice and should be fixed, if only for aesthetic reasons. -Greg

Dolphin milk source
The claim that dolphins are a milk source used by humans has norefernce. Shouldn't it need one? If no one defends that claim, I think dolphins should be removed from the list.
