Personally, I believe PETA is a great oranization — as a fellow animal lover, I don’t eat certain meats not because there are some unethical treatments of animals in certain parts of the world, but on the mere fact that I don’t really like the taste…On the other hand, I could never live without my milk!! It’s a proven fact that a cow’s milk is an essential factor in a human’s daily diet. Vitamins that come from a cow is completely different than the nutrients from a mother’s breast milk.

Although this is quite an idea, I’d never eat ice cream made with breast milk…my friends and I would surely buy the original Ben and Jerry’s ice cream in bulk if they ever decided to change the make-up.

FYI — Ben and Jerry’s are NOT considering this idea…

Thank you for reading…as a health guru, I’ll keep you posted on the next big move in the food industry!!! =)

“speciesism n. The belief in the intrinsic superiority of the human species over all others, often accompanied by an assumption that human beings are therefore justified in exploiting non-human animals for their own advantage. Compare ableism, ageism, ethnocentrism, fattism, heterosexism, racism, sexism.”

As a meat eater, I do believe humans are more important than other animals. PETA is trying to bring out the point that if you find it total acceptable to take the milk from another species, hook it up to machines, and consume the milk that was produced for their offspring—then why wouldn’t it be acceptable for your own species? They want you to visualize women being hooked up to a machine and producing milk all day long. And then given hormones to produce more milk for ice cream production and so on.

Even look at this article “I think the idea is just disgusting,” said Courtney Bunnell
-Human breast milk is intended for human consumption, while cow milk is intended for calves and NOT HUMANS. But Courtney finds human milk disgusting and probably has no problem consuming cow milk. It’s a great hypocrisy and I’m a part of it.

Diseases could easily be transferred and it would be impossible and expensive to mass produce it. Breastfeeding mothers are warned not to drink alcohol, take certain prescribed pills, and many other things! There is a reason that they shouldn’t; because it is transferred to the babies. (although the effects would probably be miniscule to adults.)

Cows milk might not be healthy but it is acceptable because we’ve been drinking it for so long. At least we know where the cows have been.
