Breast is best ice cream?

Okay, so the breast milk soup was really weird, but Ben and Jerry's has been petitioned by PETA to use breast milk instead of cow milk.

This is so disturbing on SO many levels...

1. The obvious, who would you know who would eat breast milk ice cream?
2. How in the world could you get enough breast milk to supply all of Ben and Jerry's? Cows drink bathtubs full of water a day...they make gallons of milk a day...
3. Milking a cow is inhumane??? So it is humane to milk women? Hello!!!???
4. Diseases pass through human milk...that is why you don't see breast milk marketed at your local grocery store for babies. HIV and other diseases pass through breast milk.
5. Oh...my favorite...milk contributes to obesity...hello??? if you're worried about being fat, I'd suggest you just pass over the Ben and Jerry's altogether.

any more reasons and I'm afraid I'd be lending credence to this stupidity...

read for yourself...

You're so funny! This idea completely grosses me out, but I know there are Breast Feeding Nazis out there who think it's a great idea. Oh my.
