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.
