Obviously PETA's suggestion is not to be taken literally. It's simply to illustrate the point that we are taking the substance intended for nourishing offspring, and repurposing it for our own delicious treats. Now, I enjoy ice cream as most non-vegans do, but I can at least understand and sympathize with PETA's point, which B&J's response only serves to further illustrate. “We applaud PETA’s novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother’s milk is best used for her child.”

I know that breast milk is the first food we ever get, but I don't want to drink some other woman's breast milk! My mother's milk was fine when I was a baby. As an adult? Maybe they were being facetious? And I’m sorry, but blech! I know that breast milk is the first food we ever get, but I don’t want to drink some other woman’s breast milk!

In addition to being really expensive, this would be a seriously poor use of resources. Imagine, rounding up so many lactating women, hooking them to breast pumps, potentially depriving their own children, and definitely depriving so many hungry, less fortunate babies in the country of the nourishment of breast milk to MAKE ICE CREAM. Sinful. And, on a side note, also very similar to what we already do to cows.

I included this in a post I was going to run later today... Just don't want you to think I come here to steal ideas. Well, I do, but sometimes I actually find them elsewhere first. And re the breast milk: er, no thanks! Dang, you guys beat me to it yet again. I included this in a post I was going to run later today…
