¿Question #538?
EndersGame: Why does a black cow that eats green grass give white milk?

Damjon: You didn't finish high school, did you?
VincentDarlage: The color white is nature's light buffet, in that it results from all the wavelengths of visible light being reflected into the eye. Casein and certain fats reflect wide ranges of wavelengths, causing milk to appear white.
BOBBYCAN: This question is lame, EndersGame.
pricero1: Have you seen the colour / color of the by-products?
wusselpompf: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy covers that topic extensively. (Spoilers: only for manure audiences)
the manatee: Because milk is white and unaffected by the color of the animals pelt or its food source. Look at everything you eat; does your poop come out that color?
Woelf: Magic
Billtje: maybe it smoked some of the grass
sirjeyhmis: Chemical reactions.
kathleenryan: Because I believe all mammals give white milk.
Zedsdead: Because animals aren't made of playdough.
keebie: cuz all cows give white milk, except the brown one, that gives chocolate milk
pwilz: Is there a punchline that I'm supposed to know here?
iklinck: Because cows are colourblind.
ikajaste: Because colours keep you warm on a cold night near a campfire, and they let you talk to your friends on the other side of the world.
Angry Dragon: because milk is just mucus. and mucus is often white.
Debate: Because color is a factor of light reflectiveness, not an inherent quality of an item. Processing grass into different chemicals obviously changes its chemical composition, and consequently its reflective characteristics.
Der Ubermolch: Unlike momentum, color is not conserved.
Maijin: Because i kissed a girl with 13 fingers.
mats-k: Basic transmutation. Alchemy 101.
DHEK: Because milk is white and no other color (okay, it can be off-white as well, but that's not really the point).
scotto: Just lucky I guess
minordemon: Because of the fatty emulsion
arkibet: For the same reason non-causian men also produce white semen.
aleo09: i don't think i would drink milk that is not white/chocolate
biggdork: Biology my friend, biology.
Numskull: Because you touch yourself at night.
tipigi: most foods that come out of all living things come out a different color.
Embark: Because all mammals give white milk?
MaksimSmelchak: Odious question. Please ask questions about gaming.
Jedzz: "We don't have a cow. We have a bull..."
jasta6: this is too deep for me...................................................................................................
WatchmanX2000: You need some time with a good physics book, some chemistry professors, and locked in a cell for at least 20 years.
brainrob: Biology
bigbadsteve: actually, youre just colorblind. the cow is blue, the grass is orange, and the milk is red
BiscuitTheCat: catalytic cracking
rawdawg: actually, the milk is yellow
Ender667: The same stuff any other cow eating proper vegitation gives milk.
davedanger: cuz white cows eating black grass give green milk, silly
POvidiusNaso: Because milk is white.
scriptorum: Insufficient understanding of biology.
Larry Chong: b/c he's colorblind.

Karlsen: Because it can
Legend Dan: What you look like doesn't matter - it's what's inside that counts.
sourwyrm: whatever makes up the milk

Lord_Prussian: And under a blue sky too. Imponderables.
Gecko23: because they're
The Unbeliever: 42
puffinge: I was never good at science.
kennyb: enzymes, acids, bacteria, oh my!
puzzleme: Silly questions get no answers.
skrutsch: Magic.
heli: chemistry 101
Randy Cox: You forgot the "and shits brown turds."
rdmasters: Well, its like this...oh, hang on, I need to get the white board, I'll be back in a bit. There. Now, - oops, that's the doorbell. I'll explain later.
mandj2001: on of life's great mysteries

gnomehome: Biology
Jose: For the same reason brown cows don't give chocolate milk.
GuyHill: because Chlorofyl cannot be digested?
Wernazuma: because yellow meeples was already taken
shippert: Biology. And stubborness.
WasQ: I supose that you don't know the colors theory?
CDRodeffer: Sounds interesting. I may be willing to trade for a copy.
Blackwind: Why does Ender ask so many dumb questions?
Bluenose: Oh that'll be one of them science thingys...
isolated: That's a racist question!
djlg: Because grass, cows and milk are completely different things.
geberus: why should I care, it is the way it is. I would start to care if it gave pink, or yellow milk
