We use unskilled labour (cows) to perform the necessary chemical reactions to convert grass and water into milk. The milk needs to be pasteurised before it is fit to use and the cows produce a significant amount of manure.

I think we can do better by building vats to perform the same chemical reactions those cows perform.

If it were unskilled, any cow would do, but if you've ever been on a dairy farm you'll know that not all cows make the cut.
