PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk

"PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says.

PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.

Where are you going to find 100,000 women willing to be herded into the milking shed twice a day?

Yes, but imagine the toll on women. I've got this mental image of a dairy farm . . . nevermind.

First, ewww.

Second, if they do, it must be a special flavor called Soylent Green, and its advertising campaign must be:

It's made of people...'s milk!

Just tell them that they're passing out coupons for free abortions.

New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other liberal cities would be a good start. Especially if they get some cash for it.

This will backfire on PETA.
Human breast milk is far better for humans to consume than non-human milk.

I think PETA officials should be first in line to provide the necessary materials. And no nonsense about not being equipped or at the proper stage of one’s life, either; it’s amazing what you can do with hormones these days.
