  1.  @premg062  you can see in the video that those indian cows making that particular ghee live much better. the narrator even seemed to try to say that the calves are not separated from their mothers, though the sentence is badly written. the video does show a calf with its mother, which in typical industrial dairy farming would only happen for a matter of hours or days after birth, at which point the calf would be removed and raised in extreme isolation in a tiny box. a friend of mine worked on a dairy farm in new zealand once while backpacking, and he reported that the way the calves were fed was by utilising unsellable puss-contaminated milk from cows with inflamed udders (they still require milking, and apparently it still works for feeding and not killing calves). :( and that wasn't even the worst sort of dairy farming, since the cows still got to graze outside, which in a lot of more densely populated or less climatically ideal countries is the exception for dairy cows (new zealand is great for ranching, though more known for sheep).

  2. it's generally a long process of people trying new variations of known things.

  3. they sound different, the tone of the second one is lower.

  4.  @hasnainejaz2611  I'm still pretty sure that it's moderately unhealthy for a fat. that apparent traditional belief in ghee being healthy probably comes from times when food was relatively sparse, so getting a lot of calories was in fact eating healthy by comparison. it probably has a bit of some vitamins too, and probably has the potential to greatly improve a diet that otherwise consists almost entirely of grain. the long shelf-life even at high temperatures haa always been very convenient and probably made ghee very accessible even to poor people. in fact, with primitive farming and processing technology, it would probably even be cheaper than any plant oils.

  5. @Winter I suppose that it would logically follow to not separate calves from cows if you see cows as holy animals? but I know that not all hindus take that stuff that seriously.

  6. it makes A LOT of sense. primarily, it is a way to preserve butter without chilling it. secondarily, you can fry stuff in it.

  7. maybe partially,but relative to modern dairy cows, they have a much lower maximum production capacity. I'm pretty sure that "half" is actually understating the difference.

  8.  @jeanarcouette2897  that's not particularly surprising, since water buffalos alao have a very long history of domestication including some breeding for milk, and they have probably been kept in modernising farming arrangements all throughout their development especially in italy, since there is quite a lot of demand there for buffalo milk for mozzarella and such.
