Breast Milk Ben and Jerry's?

OMG, stop the madness. First it was this Swedish chef who wanted to put breast milk in his curries and soups. Now PETA has sent a letter to Ben and Jerry's, urging them to replace cow's milk with mother's milk in their ice cream.

From the letter:

If Ben and Jerry's replaced the cow's milk in its ice cream with breast milk, your customers-and cows-would reap the benefits.

Yes, PETA is made up of crazy people, but I'm not sure why this strikes me as such a bad idea. It's not as though cows and goats are cleaner than humans, but the idea of human milk really skeeves me out. But not everyone thinks so! In fact, I have a very nice and normal co-worker who recently rhapsodized to me about how she feels that breast milk would be delicious in a sweet dessert.

No, Ben and Jerry's isn't going to be making the switch to breast milk anytime soon. But imagine the naming possibilities: Double D Dutch Chocolate? Boobalicious Berry?Fudge Nipple?

Would you eat breast milk ice cream? Would you sell your milk for ice cream?

because the milk cows produce for baby cows is better for humans than the milk women produce for baby humans.

Moo.
