PETA comes up with another outrageous publicity stunt. Not MeFi-worthy. Kill it. With a club.

I could see some interesting flavors coming out of this. New from Ben & Jerry's-44D Fudge!

Oh good, we get to express our outrage against people with opinions but no power! This is where MeFi really excels.

Outrage? No. More like annoyance, for making the rest of us look stupid and shrill.

Is PETA willing to supply the thousands of gallons of milk that Ben and Jerrys would need in order to keep their production up? Is there going to be a human milk farm built in the near future? How many PETA members have volunteered to give (or sell at an identical price) their milk to Ben & Jerry's?

PETA is so crazy it makes me corsseyed.

PETA is very good at getting attention.

I assume. Do they have other campaigns that are lame and don't get psoted to MeFi?

If anyone says "People Eating Tasty Animals" I'm going to lactate all over this this thread.

PETA has yet to find an issue that they can't objectify women's bodies about.

PETA wtf are you smoking?

I want to see PETA do it first, and won't give them any money until they do.

Well, they're not licking toads, that's for damned sure.

Way to make animal rights look like a crazy person's cause. Heckuva job, guys.

"When pressed, Joe said he didn't think cheese made from human breast milk would taste very good. 'Sheep, goats, and cows don't eat meat, they don't eat onions or garlic, they don't drink coffee. The flavor of human cheese would depend on what you were feeding your human. Considering our diets, human breast milk would probably taste pretty awful.'"
-Savage Love, February 2002


I suspect, but cannot say for sure, that the same would hold true of ice cream. Ignoring the shock value of the suggestion, as well as any "ew" factor, it sounds like it simply wouldn't taste very good.

I wonder what the price of human milk would be.

This will make the name "Chunky Monkey" much more honest.

I have a lot of crazy ideas that I would like to share with the public, how can I apply to work at PETA?

Who's the Karl Rove at PETA who figured they'd get more popular by being vile, ugly and/or stupid?

This guy tried drinking the stuff. Chocolate too. (They're all pretty funny but page down to Vol. 5.)

This reminds me of an unpleasant Piers Anthony short story where this guy goes to an alternate world where they house humans in barns and milk them like cows.
Go, PETA!

Got any evidence to the contrary?

How on earth is the cause of animal rights itself "crazy"? Do you see the whole thing in just one raving degree, as opposed to the nuances between going cutting back on the veal and proposing breast milk ice cream?

"Thanks for the mammaries", a vanilla cream swirled with rich dulce de leche and tiny hershey kisses.

"Shakespeare's balcony", a vanilla cream swirled with tiny eel pies and crumpets.

"Sweater puppies", chocolate swirled with white chocolate candy bark

"Dan Savage's human breast milk analysis", a vanilla cream swirled with onions, garlic and chocolate coated coffee beans.

Cherry Garcia is made of people.

If she's producing substantial quanities of breast milk, odds are Ms. Garcia is no longer cherry.
posted by The Bellman at 7:32 PM on September 24, 2008


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.

Oh I get it, let's turn women into milk farms.

Cuz the cows have much better things to do, like eat grass, moo, and shit.

Next year on Talk Like a Pirate Day we should all dress up and protest outside PETA headquarters.

Any cause, b1tr0t, can pretty much measure it's success by how crazy the people remaining in it's camp seem.
