PETA has sent a letter to ice cream makers Ben & Jerry's, urging them to replace cow's milk in their products with human breast milk. PETA officials say moving to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of cows on factory farms and benefit human health. "The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. Counting the Swiss guy who wanted to use breast milk at his restaurant, this is the second breast-milk-in-our-food story in a week. In case the folks at Ben & Jerry's need help coming up with names, may I suggest Boobalicious or Mammary Row.
