Breast milk ice cream?
Although I appreciate PETA’s pro-animal message, I often don’t agree with their methods. I generally find extremism to be more harmful than helpful in getting things done. In my opinion, their latest gambit—asking Ben & Jerry’s to use breast milk in their ice cream instead of cow’s milk—is just plain wacky, not to mention untenable. I can’t imagine that Americans would be very willing to reach for a pint of New York Superbreast Chunk. It has far too much of a kneejerk “ick” factor. If they were going to push for something, why not soy or rice, which are already components of some frozen desserts? Maybe they’re trying to develop an analogy between human and cow milk (why is one icky and the other isn’t?), but all in all, it seems like it’s mostly a stunt.
Readers, would you be willing to eat breast-milk ice cream?
