PETA Urges Ben And Jerry's To Use Human Milk
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.
PETA is a PITA, really, and this proposal of theirs is just the same flavor of hyperbole they've been serving up for a long time now. There's NO WAY you could possibly do what they're proposing, and if you did you'd be opening a huge can of worms that nobody wants to deal with (public health, compensation for the "producers" of said milk, etc).
