the dairy that powers half the planet while cow milk hogs the glory

means Milk produced by goats, used for drinking and for making cheeses, yogurt, and soap, often easier to digest than cow's milk.

from A plain compound of two old Germanic words. "Goat" descends from Old English "gat," a cousin of German "Geiss" and tracing back to a Proto-Germanic root for the animal. "Milk" comes from Old English "meoluc/milc," related to the same family that gives us the verb "to milk" and ultimately tied to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to wipe off" or "stroke" — the very motion of drawing milk by hand. The pairing is as ancient and unfussy as the act itself: humans have been milking goats since some of the earliest days of herding.
