Two Scoops With Cherries On Top
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008OK, there’s really, really important stuff to talk about, like factcheck.org lying about guns, B. Hussein Obama being a lying Commie tool, the current financial crisis resulting from Democrat efforts to force lenders to make bad loans, and the media response to Ike, but somehow this is what forces me to write:
PETA Urges Ben & Jerry’s To Use Human Milk
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.
I’m, uh, trying to, uh, get a grip on the, uh, logistics of harvesting enough human milk to cover Ben and Jerry’s production needs. As fantasy, every single aspect opens pornographic panoramas (and indeed, has been pornoed somewhere, sometime). As policy, this is a horror beyond even my fevered imaginings; “ripe for abuse” stretched to thin, pale tatters does not even begin to cover….
I’ve known for a long time that PETAns are deranged. This is proof positive that they simply do not understand the difference between humans and animals.
The official Ben and Jerry’s response: “We applaud PETA’s novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother’s milk is best used for her child” . Bravo.
