Got milk? Billions of pounds of milk are consumed worldwide on a daily basis. Milk is the basis for its own food group, and has been around since the dawn of mammals. Visit a farm with a milking parlor and learn all about pasteurization. Find out what those active cultures in yogurt are and why milk truly makes the body good. You will also discover just how many types of cows there are.

Modern Marvels celebrates ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, and tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.
