oh crap
Huh.
Sounds much more like a publicity stunt than an earnest effort.
Sometimes, I think that the goal of PETA is not to promote "animal rights," but simply to keep the PETA name in the newspapers, and thus to guarantee the continued paychecks for the organization's officers.
peta are loony and you're absolutely right, its just to generate publicity and keep the ball rolling so to speak.
on the other hand.. human milk for humans makes more sense than from cows...
my physiotherapist nearly lost his mother to cancer cause a hormone used to promote increased lactation in cows apparently isnt inert when passed onto menopausal women, it promotes abnormal cell growth in human breast tissue ...
not to mention the link between casein protein and cancer , or the guarantee of cholesterol increase ..
over here we have some much more sane organisations, i dont think peta have a branch thank goodness !!

THOSE are my reasons for using other milks.. not breast milk though!!
also - the yahoo version of the article omits that the PETA letter was spawned by this idea that is already taking place in Europe ... consentual breast milk instead of dairy cows ... soups and sauces http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...east-milk.html
Ether is just looking for more breasts.
No, just the breast milk of Cambodian immigrants.Quote:

When you think about it, it IS absurd that we consume milk of another species.
Is it any more absurd that consuming bee vomit?Quote:

both have less of an acidic taste and agave has a nice buttery flavour as well..
agave nectar is also the only natural sweetner approved for use by diabetics becuse it has a low glycemic index.
agaves have feelings too...
Agaves should be sent back to Mexico !!
Maybe. Maybe not. It may be regurgitation from the bees (?), but isn't it also their food source (and derived from nectar)? This would seem a little less weird than consuming some kind of bodily fluid of theirs intended for the intimate task of nursing their young...Quote:

I use agave, too. It's great with a lick of salt and a wedge of lime.Quote:

i also live near a Tyson processing plant. certainly makes you think about chickens differently.
what kind of processing exactly?
and yeah, eating a chicken period makes less sense than eating leftover human placenta which is actually designed for humaaanz!
Very interesting, Tim.
you know, honestly, reading *that* made me want to hurl. seriously.
I eat chicken. I eat beef. I eat my veggies too. Why does eating another animal not make sense? Why do bears eat fish? Why do eagles eat mice? It's the natural order of things, that's why.
But I am not a cannibal.
line in the sand..
one is designed for you, one was warped into creation by 8000 years of imbreeding a bird that used to enjoy life in a the treetops of jungles.
we could do the same with human females - this would also be a horrendous scenario.
yes animals eat each other,are you demanding human level morals of them ? dogs roll in s***, eat their own vomit...
most of the animals we eat arent from the category of animals who eat animals, you probably eat 90% peacenik herbivores!!
yes its disgusting when you are being objective, it all is..
"*that* " was only disgusting because it wasnt commonplace and fed to you since you were an infant..
Yeah, you'd feel differently if it were a regular item on your dining room table. What we eat is all out of habit and tradition.
I didn't say breast milk was disgusting. I just originally said it was a weird story. I find breast milk to be rather sweet, much sweeter than cows milk. Would I drink it, probably not, but I don't drink cow's milk either because I'm not that fond of milk in general.
Hey, if someone shoves a boob in my face and tells me to suck it, who am I to stop them? (Unless it was my wife, I can hope that I would restrain myself and not give it a suck. I'd appreciate the gesture, but you get my point I hope)
I'm a little confused. Did you just say you would suck on the breast of another woman, but not your wife?
Technically, he did write that.
HIV and other diseases are passed through breast milk, so no putting strange titties in your mouth please! You never know who's an Undercover Lactator.
If it came out that way it was not intended. I intended to make it say the other way, that unless it was my wife I would restrain myself. Stupid parentheses.
There's always someone to rain on the parade.Quote:

No, because I suspect a trap.Quote:

go on, you can admit it. You're afraid of wendy's breastmilk.
Why do tribes hunt and fish?
because they are hungry ? because they dont have dietitians ?
because they're afraid of wendy's breasts.
Why would people who live off the land and honor/pay attention to their own bodies need dieticians?
My breasts are luscious.
