Rep Power: 107515       | PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk Passed on with no comment....(ok, well maybe with a raised eyebrow....) http://www.nbc11.com/foodnews/17539627/detail.html PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk POSTED: 11:21 am PDT September 23, 2008 UPDATED: 12:27 pm PDT September 23, 2008 VERMONT -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow's milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman. "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."The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Everyone knows that 'the breast is best,' so Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk." Read PETA's letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield September 23, 2008 Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Cofounders Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc. Dear Mr. Cohen and Mr. Greenfield, On behalf of PETA and our more than 2 million members and supporters, I'd like to bring your attention to an innovative new idea from Switzerland that would bring a unique twist to Ben and Jerry's. Storchen restaurant is set to unveil a menu that includes soups, stews, and sauces made with at least 75 percent breast milk procured from human donors who are paid in exchange for their milk. 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. Using cow's milk for your ice cream is a hazard to your customer's health. Dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies, constipation, obesity, and prostate and ovarian cancer. The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America's leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow's milk to children, saying it may play a role in anemia, allergies, and juvenile diabetes and in the long term, will set kids up for obesity and heart disease-America's number one cause of death. Animals will also benefit from the switch to breast milk. Like all mammals, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to be able to constantly milk them, cows are forcefully impregnated every nine months. After several years of living in filthy conditions and being forced to produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally, their exhausted bodies are turned into hamburgers or ground up for soup. And of course, the veal industry could not survive without the dairy industry. Because male calves can't produce milk, dairy farmers take them from their mothers immediately after birth and sell them to veal farms, where they endure 14 to 17 weeks of torment chained inside a crate so small that they can't even turn around. The breast is best! Won't you give cows and their babies a break and our health a boost by switching from cow's milk to breast milk in Ben and Jerry's ice cream? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Tracy Reiman Executive Vice President |

(sexy too, but I'm a freak) When it comes to PETA's proposal, breastfeeding hurts. Ask any mother, it is absolutely a labor of love, finding the women willing to give up their liquid gold for the frivolous consumption of icecream eaters will be a daunting task. PETA always did have a dry sense of satire. Last edited by OakSmokeMJA; 09-23-2008 at 03:17 PM.. | |

Rep Power: 7661 | Re: PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk First off I don't eat much ice cream, but when I do I love it. If they start using breast milk, then I will never eat that Ice Cream. Too many variables.... I do not trust people to eat what they should(proper nutrients with no additives) to put out what they should(nutritious milk in this case) for me to consume. Leave it to the cows |

we have a winner folks! just out of curiousity... PETA thinks it is cruel to milk cows, but supports "milking" humans? Kinda strange priorities if you ask me.... But PETA has a habit of not being terribly consistent with their message... NOTE: Please dont misunderstand any of this.... I think people who mistreat animals are the second lowest form of life on the planet, after those that mistreat kids... | |

Rep Power: 198369 | Re: PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk The concept raises some supply and demand issues in my mind as well as some of the other concerns mentioned ^. I mean, is that restaurant in Switzerland in a special fertile area, where lots of women have extra baby milk to sell, all year round? It seems more like a grade B Sci Fi movie plot: "The Milk Maids Of Basil" :slaugh: |

The writing style is called satire, meant to bring attention to the irony in eating habits with regards to society's apathy towards cows. the piece is really dry and not very funny, so I can see how it can be confused for their actual stance. . . Very strange writing, PETA always turns me off because they try to appeal to our sense of horror rather than our sense of compassion.  Last edited by OakSmokeMJA; 09-24-2008 at 07:32 AM.. | |
