Milk and Honey

The Bible has several references to Milk and Honey.  Some reference to heaven, or the so-called promised land, or some future god-given prosperity.

I've not thought of this before today, but our humble household (which is shockingly among the top 10% wealthiest by global standards) has always had a full supply of milk and honey.

We do run out; but we simply buy more. We have the means. We drink milk every day and eat the honey occasionally.

Many people do not have the means.

What do you think about milk and honey flowing freely? A nice literary ring to it, or something more? Essential calcium and non-essential luxurious sweet stuff? What do the Biblical references mean?

I don't know about you but I'll take milk and honey when they come my way. But I also realize several people in the world have no honey, and milk only rarely. Where's their heaven? Why do I fare better than them? Is the disparity OK with God? If not, what can I do about this?
