Milking it for all it's worth

Mar 01, 2011 10:53

An ice cream parlour in the UK has had some of their stock seized, on the grounds that it might be unfit for human consumption. Why might it be unfit for human consumption? Because it was made using human breast milk, rather than that of a subspecies of Bos primigenius, aka the common cow.

On a purely logical level, it's a bit odd, arguing that milk of another species is better than that of our own species. They make noise about viruses and hepatitis and such, of course.

Still, it raises the question about who does the milking, doesn't it? Did I ever mention that I worked on a dairy farm one summer? I'm not saying I'm qualified or anything. Just idle conversation, really.
