This Chunky Monkey Tastes Like Aunt Esther ...

PETA has sent a letter to the co-founders of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream urging them to replace the cow's milk they use in their products for, ahem, human breast milk.

PETA claims human breast milk would cause less suffering for dairy cows and would make a healthier choice for humans. For their part, Ben and Jerry's say they applaud PETA's novel approach -- but believe a mother's milk is best for her child only.

Think of it this way ... Bristol Palin and Jamie Lynn could use their new motherhood for lucrative afterschool jobs!

6. Apparently PETA fails to realize that Ice CREAM has a Keyword in the name... CREAM... Human Mother's Milk does not have enough fat in it to make actual Ice CREAM... WHole Cow's Milk have 7.93 g per cup and Heavy Cream has 96 g per cup. Human breast milk only has 10.77g per cup. Besides, then you are going to have a bunch of lactating women in controlled diets to keep the flavor os their food from contaminating the flavor of the Ice Cream as well as a Human rights issue if the Cow's right's issue is at stake.

8. For gods sake, PETA has now officially "JUMPED THE SHARK"!
If they want to be taken seriously and not thought of as eco-terriorists they have got to pick their fights a little better. The cows still have to be milked, what should happen to all that milk, down the drain.?

10.

What the hell? This has got to be an April Fool's joke. PETA has already shown themselves to be pushing the envelope of common sense and decency, but are these idiots completely nuts?

14. VERY FUNNY how everyone is disgusted at the idea of human breast milk, yet COW breast milk, cow's that have been pumped with hormones, antibiotics, and steroids, IS JUST FINE TO DRINK!!!!


EWW, I would much rather drink human breast milk than dirty cow breast milk!

In fact, I would rather drink NEITHER!

Soy milk for life!!!
