I actually have the opposite. With goat milk, I get the most wonderful, thick, creamy kefir. When I switch to cow milk, it tends to be thinner and clumpy. The person I got my grains from used goat milk, but the person she got them...

Things that are taught in school are not just for what a teenager needs to know NOW. It's supposed to prepare them for the rest of their lives. So, yeah, a teenager shouldn't be having babies NOW, but they most certainly should be...
