breastmilk in ice cream? come on, now.

Comment Published at 06:4006:4012 comments12 comments74 Visits74 VisitsReport

PETA  (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) wrote to ice cream maker, Ben & Jerrys urging them to use human milk in their ice cream.

Seriously? I'm all for ethical treatment of animals, but are they saying animals deserve better than humans?

They'd have to resize the milking machines and combine them with comfortable chairs in warm rooms; work out proper payscales for the ladies as they wouldn't do it for grass; only employ milk maids; swap all the babies on to formula... just not practical!

How about using the milk of human kindness?

You have a great sense of humor. I love it! You made me snort. But at the same time, you're very right. I mean, can you really pay women enough for pumping for ice cream? Hmmm.

Can you imagine how much you would have to express just to make one litre of icecream?  Seriously as a mum who has had to express for weeks on end, the idea is just mindboggling - I can tell they have never expressed.  I can't see any mum agreeing to it or any one buying it.  Crazy!

It's just headline grabbing. They must have known Ben & Jerry's would never entertain the idea. Nell18-3's right - it would hit sales big time!

PETA is apparently just making a point, but in making such a point, I think they've put human concerns below animal concerns.

 I think they have travelled further in the direction of "loss of credibility due to fanatical and unreasonable suggestions."

This just proves how fanatical PETA really are and they will stoop as low as they can to grab a headline even if it is readiculous
