PETA Wants Us To Drink Breast Milk

PETA wants their breast milk ice cream, and they want you to have some, too. The animal rights organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), sent a letter to Ben & Jerry’s Homemade ice cream company requesting that they replace the cow’s milk in their famed ice cream with breast milk, according to a press release by PETA.
Ben & Jerry replied that “a mother’s milk is best used for her child,” according to WITN. PETA suggested that Ben and Jerry’s make breast milk ice cream to minimize the suffering of the cows. While their request was extreme and implausible, they could have made other more viable requests about th cow’s health. They could have also suggested vegan product lines for B & J, which are popular in health food markets and natural food markets.
According to the PETA press release, the idea came from the news that a Swiss restaurateur would be substituting 75 percent of the cow’s milk with breast milk. In the U.S. there are breast milk banks where lactating mothers with an abundance of breast milk can donate their breast milk. The lactating mothers are put through health screenings before the breast milk is made available to babies.
The PETA release also states that the mothers providing the milk for the unnamed Swiss restaurateur are paid for their milk. If this were to happen in the United States, how many of the mothers currently donating breast milk to breast milk banks for babies in need would opt to be paid instead? Would this practice truly make healthier humans as PETA suggests?

I don’t want any damn breast milk. I’m sooo damn sick of PETA trying to shove their views down everyone’s throat. B-complex cannot come from plants. We have more people diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and Alzheimer’s. Fish really is brain food.
