I'll pass on the breast milk-flavored ice cream
I thought my daughter was playing a joke on me when she said PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was urging Ben & Jerry's ice cream to switch its creamy base from cow's milk to breast milk.
She wasn't, although I am still incredulous. PETA sent the letter to the famous Vermont ice cream makers last week.
The animal rights group admits it got the idea from a Swiss restaurant, which is using breast milk in its soups and sauces.
Can you imagine any company in America trying this? Breast milk is made for babies; I'm not sure if there are any benefits for adults or if you can even cook with breast milk. I'm certain, though, that few American consumers have the palate for a breast-milk-based product.

This is absolutley absurd. The thought of human breast milk being used in the making of ice cream? what is happening to society? Why can't we just continue with the ways things have been. I can understand PETA's view but seriously. . .using human milk instead of cow milk? breast milk is essential to babies and is an important part of development for babies.
