Sep 24 2008PETA To Ben And Jerry's: Use Breast Milk

There's nothing quite like the Ice Cream Mom used to make!!!!

http://www.beerngolf.com

As long as I get to pick the breast the milk comes from I'm all for it. haha

can I just drink from the carton.. and I hope these women are vegitarians because meaty milk does not sound yummy

*ahem* F*** PETA. I hope they all die in agony.

The thing is, human breastmilk isn't anything like cow or even goat milk. It doesn't have the same consistency, it doesn't taste good (from what I hear) and since it's harder to acquire this ice cream would be more expensive and taste like shit. Very bad idea.

However, if I start dating a bitch who's lactating and I get a taste for it, my mind might be changed.

Hey number 4, I'd like to second that motion

F*** PETA, die in a grease fire while being stabbed with rusty dull knives.

WHY ARE PETA SO F***ING CRAZY? they have some really sick ads on the DC metro, I would love to meet a couple of them andf give them a good old pissed up british kicking, then beat them with a sexually abused dead fox

PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals
I think it is ridiculous to ask human mothers to deprive their infants of breast milk so that cows (who are bred for it) will have more... silly PETA - go choke on a fig.

Not milking dairy cows causes their utters to swell, which causes complications leading to the cows' death. PETA is full of retards.

These will be the same people that will protest for "robot rights" in the years to come.

I'm all for it if B&J's changes their logo from cows to topless chicks.

How will we know there's no silicone in it? I mean Pam Anderson is good for a pint or two, but yuuuuck!!!

do you suppose they would use the mothers for the cherry coloured swirlsin the vanilla as well? and how about the chocolate chips? they use milk, bet you dont fancy it that much now do you? f***ing arse fudge

Disgusting.

Maybe if the breast milk came from Jessica Alba...she's pregnant right?

NOM NOM NOM!!!!!
stupid Peta, I hope they choke on a long hard piece of meat, and you all know what I mean.
TUBE STEAK!!!!!!!!!

yeah right they would put jessica alba on the carton but you can bet your ass you would be drinking milk from some wizzened old chinese minger, plus how would jessica alba look after being attached to a milking machine for years???

Well, if they are going to do this, they are going to need a lot of pregnant women just hanging around. I will volunteer to take on the responsibility of impregnating every one of them. This will take some training though? I'm going to need some female volunteers. Amy? what are you doing for the next couple of months?

This is clearly photoshopped, the shadows are all wrong.

plus, it's clearly a scene from Never Back Down

@4 & 6

My thoughts exactly!!

does anyone actually know how to do shit with photoshop? i thought I was a place to get my f***ing pictures developed

PETA is constantly proving it's incredible ignorance. The amount of breast milk required for such a task is staggering and simply could not be produced with human breast milk. Not to mention as has already been stated it would be extremely difficult to produce a desired taste and consistency using human breast milk.

I simply have to agree with the exclamation, f*** PETA! And f*** their poorly founded ideals and concepts.

Not to mention the aspect of germs and diseases. I mean cows are all loaded up with antibiotics and stuff. How do you know all these women aren't harboring diseases and stuff. What if they're a bunch of junkies?

This is so disgusting. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks PETA is a worthless organization.

I thought all three sites were written by the same person. Is this not true?

i f***ing hate peta their a bunch of pussys

@22 Milk would be pasteurized anyways.

But they can't be serious about it. Must be the stupidest idea ever.

I'd like to walk into a farm and see lines of pregnant women hooked up to machines suckin' their teets dry... actually id like to voulenteer myself to personally hand squeeze every last drop out of those knockers.

There are women that lactate without prenancy.

There are several vidoes for sale on the subject. Must be 18+

So here's the break down...

Human breast milk is not disgusting, it tastes good (sweet). It's very healthy for CHILDREN. While it does have amazing properties, antibodies, etc. It hardly seems worth it though.

I think the people of PETA are idiots. Depriving human children of breast milk is ludicrous and down right stupid.

As was mentioned, cows are bred to produce milk, enough for calves (who don't get deprived...they get plenty), so it's ridiculous to try to justify not using cows and using human milk.

While it's not impossible and it would probably taste good, it's impractical to do as PETA wishes. They are idiots. I like the new/cool PETA (people eating tasty animals).

Meat is murder.
Tasty, tasty, murder.

How can anyone take an organization with Pamela Anderson as a spokesperson seriously.
I would like to milk her though.

I keep seeing commercials and ads on the internets about how contaminated the water in Africa is and how it is killing babies because it is used with formula. Maybe, if PETA gave more of a crap about dying human babies than they do about cows, they'd be advocating sending some breast milk over to Africa.

I have been a vegetarian for years because, in my part of the world, it isn't necessary to kill animals in order to live a very healthy life. That being said, I think PETA are a bunch of freaking lunatics. I think 5 minutes in the PETA headquarters would piss me off so much I'd go back to eating everything that moved and aiming for squirrels in the road.

I will never back down when served breast milk rocky road.

This is funny in so many levels!

As stated before:
1- F*** PETA
2- Not milking cows would kill them, thus defeating PETA's purpose
3- It's not economically viable which would, thus, deprive humans from a nice source of food.
4- For once Nic Bacon is making sense
5- PEWPEWPEW
6- NUM NUM NUM PETA f***wards, NUM NUM NUM

I can't wait until our new World Government decides that being an idiot and/or a dick is illegal, so that all this stupid selfish activists die horrible, horrible deaths in the hands of some very devious, yet incredibly funny to assist its functioning, machine.

Nothing has repulsed me more this week (so far) than reading this topic (not the comments, just the OP). What next? Sperm-cicles?

Did anyone watch that episode of ANTM where that one chick drank her own breast milk? (Yeah- I'm a fag for watching ANTM) I threw up a little when she did that. Models are stupid...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO F***KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKIN HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The thing is, the swiss restaurant had their new menu revoked. People protested it because it would encourage mothers to sell their milk rather than give it to the chillens, and the owner agreed and pulled the menu.

yeah man, breast milk ice cream. i'm all for the protection of animals but come on! DAIRY cows are bread for exactly that giving is DAIRY! you know cheese yogurt.. MILK!

@ 37, Bread?

for exactly that giving is Dairy!?

Are you ok? maybe try to relax a little while you are typing. maybe a quick reread before you hit submit. You know, to do us all a favor.

PETA's next brilliant idea - instead of burger made from beef, we should slaughter humans! I think PETA will be the true starter of the Zombie Apocolypse...
@ Miles - you are really making it hard not to comment on the whole spermcicles thing... luv ya tho...
@28 - Thank you, I feel forspecial now.

Making it hard is what I'm all about, 'chica. Pun most certainly intended.
Just a thought: Could we all go just a little easy on the spelling and grammatical errors? None of us are perfect, and we all have made plenty of mistakes noticed only after hitting the PYC box.

@9, 10, 21, 32...well, everyone I guess
I concur..
F*** PETA (has it been said enough yet? probably not)
Shit I don't even like buying second hand donated clothes, why the hell would I eat anything with donated human breast milk. We have a shit ton of procedures to make sure that disease doesn't spread through donated blood, and we still have slip ups occasionally. I doubt the controls for monitoring breast milk for ice cream would be even remotely close to the same scruitiny

Am I the only one to notice that PETA written backwards spells ATEP?? MAJOR coincidence? Or irrelevant factuality?

I suppose that all those PETA members will volunteer their time and energy to milk all those suddenly unemployed dairy cattle then? - because once you stop milking a dairy cow, she swells up her udder like a Volkswagen until she ruptures, dying very painfully. On my family's farm, we had a cow who COULDN'T give milk one week. She swelled up until my great-grandmother (God rest her soul) had to climb under her and wring her teats with her 88-year old arthritic hands to give the poor beast some relief. Damn near got her arm busted when the cow kicked her, too. ALL of that is a true story.

What is wrong with PETA is they only think in the moment. You're going to bankrupt the dairy industry because some knucklehead in Switzerland decided he's going to make breast milk ice cream? Good God, you morons. I swear, if you put every brain in PETA together and had them fire their synapses at once, you couldn't power a AAA battery.

@30: Amen.

PETA you tards.....

seriously, there is a realistic limit to everything.
When you get to the point when you care for animals more than humans, you need to promptly seek mental help.

How about some breast milk cheese? Breast milk cheesecake in my mouth.

@34 - For once I agree with Miles! You are a fag, but not just because you watch ANTM.

Douchie Mc Bagman Hey buddy, haven't seen you for some time. Just hanging out with a hot girl on ____u n i f o r m e d m a t e. c o m a great place to meet hot girl online.

Douchie, sweetheart- I'm a fag for so many reasons. Not the least of which is your cock in my mouth (which truly is the "least" I've ever had).

God damn Miles. Why'd you have to go there? It's going to take a lot of hetero porn to remove that image.

I find it interesting nobody has mention that breast milk is one of the few ways of contracting HIV.

I'm done. Someone say something to make this funny.

Icon- I merely go where I'm needed. It's a gift.

"Boobies!"

"Boobies!

(Don sunglasses)
(Flash of intensely bright light)

"Chris, did you have fun at the circus today?"

"Elephants are bigger in person."

They don't even torture cows when they milk them. Cows have to feel comfortable for them to produce milk. It's just a pointless object to stop milking cows since there's nothing inhumain with it in the first place

Plus if the cow is not being milked, it has no use to the farmer so they'll probably just slaughter it for it's meat and leather.

Boobies!

F*** PETA.
In response to this braindead letter, I'm going to rape a cow.
Not out of pleasure you sickos -- it's pure, sweetlovin' spite!

Out of the looney bin and into cloud f***ing koo koo land.

OLD NEWS,
I already blogged about this and got into huge rants.
Even lost a few facebook friends ]:

Our bodies and brains have been raised in an environment in which it is normal for cow's milk/goat's milk/etc to be consumed. At least, that is the society that I have been brought up in.

I don't know many households or many situations in which a mother gives her breast milk to her entire family. My "big sister" Briege just had triplets and I don't think she plans on giving her breast milk away to anyone other than her own children.

It's the psychological way that the first reaction that comes to MOST people is "EW," because most of us were raised drinking milk from cows/goats. If people don't want to drink animal milk, there is soy milk -- I drink soy milk sometimes.

I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing that I was consuming another woman's breast milk. A cow is something that I eat, and it is an animal. PETA is all about animal rights, and last weekend I hung out with some cows at the Rochester Fair, and honestly.. had I been brought up around cows I would probably not eat them....

but this day and age in society I don't think that the idea of mothers giving up their breast milk for ice cream is as ideal as maybe giving breast milk to adoption mothers who adopt babies straight from birth and are unable to provide the child with breast milk.

SRSLY? i hate you peta. i hate this self-righteous horse shit about how animals suffer all the time from this and that and the other. like, oh hey everyone. remember how people are dying every day in Iraq? YAH. they are dying. not just them, but lots of people are dying. every day. from diseases, or viruses, or car accidents, or abortions (if you believe in that sort of thing). i feel like they are saying "i don't care if fetuses live or die - or people for that matter - but god dammit i want my cows to live on planet earth with supple, tender virgin teets unless a baby cow has it's adorable little mouth nestled over it in order to extract it's precious liquid gold that is milk." IT'S MILK. you are REALLY trying to tell people that in order to stop cows from being "punished" by providing us with something as foolish as MILK, that we should milk people? MILK PEOPLE? it's not like all women everywhere are just lactating all the time. this is the most preposterous thing i've ever f***ing heard in my life. and, by the way PETA.. i don't know if you've ever heard of SOY MILK but it already happened and it's WAY F***ING EASIER to find than breast milk. on top of the fact that people will probably never in their entire f***ing lives eat breast milk ice cream. yeah, maybe some people will.. but nowhere near the amount of people who currently eat ben & jerry's. or any other ice cream for that matter.

@59........you win at life

yah I don't eat ben and jerry's ice cream because it's just a bunch of nut jobs who run the company.. ben and jerry are huge f***ing libreals who believe in all this PETA shit and stuff

thank God I live in Texas where we can get the best ice cream in the world from Blue Bell.

btw milking cows is good for them... if they aren't milked either by us or by a calf sucking on their utter it causes pain for the mama cow... so PETA is actually advocating cows feel more pain what dumbasses

Every time I thought that PETA couldn't get any more retarded, they go & surprise me! Like one person said, you can get a lot of things through breast milk that are very bad. If a woman is desperate enough to sell her breast milk, the odds are that she's going to lie about any potential diseases she may have or might have caught while she was employed with B&J. Also, most people aren't going to eat the ice cream. Some might as an oddity, but not enough.

PETA's not going to be satisfied until every human is dead & animals rule the world. Shoot... I wonder if the leader of PETA's the antichrist or something. S/he really seems to hate humanity...

great, now we will have a bunch of teenage girls selling their breast milk before she has the child. this will just lead to more young girls having abortions or having more kids than they can possibly support. is PETA going to take care of these girls?

Really??? are you serious? is this something that someone actually thought would be a good idea? how could someone actually say that out loud and think that it is the answer? next they are going to tell us that we should eat one another so that we don't have to kill animals.

why nick bacon...... did you seaxually abuse that little fox?

hahaha, did you guys hear about one of their top leader i forgot her name, this lady wants to be BBQ'd and have her skin used for making purses when she dies, BBQ'd!!!!!!!! yes, goes to show how f***ing weird these people are.

I eat meat. And milk. And cheese. I don't abuse animals and would strangle anyone who does. It's supposed to be be "People for the ETHICAL Treatment of Animals", not "People for the No Touching or Using Animals for Anything Ever Because Humans Don't Deserve to Live". I guess PNTUAAEBHDDL isn't very catchy, though.
Seriously, I hate to see animals killed in a cruel way (like, um, kosher butchering, anyone?) but we can't just ignore the fact that we evolved to eat protein.
I would eat breast milk ice cream, though. But I'd want to extract the milk personally. To, you know, screen it for, um, contamination. Yeah, that.

And now for my comment assessment:

@ 4 6 7 8 9 15 19 21 22 24 28 29 30 32 35 39 41 43 44 55 61 62 - agreed, F*** PETA

@ 58 59 - long comments = brownie points!!!

@ Miles - You're still a douchefag.

yeah...... i just think if the people at PETA hate people so much they should all go down to the local pawn shop, buy a gun, and some bullets, point the gun at their own heads and squeeze that trigger, there! they would accomplish what they want, they would be getting rid of the thing they hate the most, HUMANS!

Imagine how crack whores, heroin using skeletons and Amy Winehouse get pregnant just to get some money from ben&jerry´s to pay for more drugs!
Wonder if they test the mom´s before they melk them!

This sounds like something Dante the Racist Badger would have come up with

i would love to milk thumperchica

is it wrong that this makes slightly horney?

Ok everyone reading this go here: http://www.wptz.com/news/17539127/detail.html and vote yes for the use of human milk. Then the poll is all screwed up and we can lulz at it.

Well now, if we take away all jobs away from the cows they are going to have to find something else to do with all that free time...maybe they could race each other? I've got it...NASCOW!! The races might go on for days though...make sure you bring your sleeping bags...

Can we have a photo of the donor at least? It would b disgusting to eat milk from a comics fan fattie breast.

Urgh!

I'm for training an army of large apes to hunt down all PETA members and waterboard them with cow milk before beating them to death with cured hams.

How's that?

Breaking news: This article has totally ruined my breakfast.

Film at 11.

God I freaking hate PETA... They are complete morons and give vegetarians a bad name...

The #24 Tide Cow is making a move to the inside and passes the #36 Wonder Bread Cow to take the lead. These Cows are really burning up the track today! Oh wait, The Budweiser Cow #44 looks to be in trouble! Oh the humanity! The #44 Cow has exploded! The resulting milk slick is causing other cows to go out of control. The #32 Geico Cow just hit the wall! and caused a massive pile up! You hate to see this Chuck but....Wait a minute! I'm being handed a note.....It seems the #44 Cow hasn't been milked since those idiots at PETA came out with that moronic human breast milk thing. Something tells me we could have avoided this carnage today had the Budweiser Cow racing team just pitted and milked that cow.....It's a sad day for NASCOW and Cow racing everywhere.

White Woman = Vanilla
Black Woman = Chocolate
Hispanic Woman = Cinnamon

You are all clearly highly uneducated. The dairy industry goes far beyond "milking cows." This is a highly industrialized corporate machine in which cows must be kept pregnant in order to produce enough milk to meet the supply of greedy humans. How do you keep cows pregnant? By tearing them away from their calves long before they are ready to be weaned, hooking them up to a rape rack and inseminating them again. And the calves? They become veal, but only after being confined to such an extent that they are unable to turn around. This way the meat will stay "tender."

Do your research before you run your mouth.

I just want a job where I can touch boobs all day.

@ 82

I can guess that most people don't really want to make the little animals suffer but this, I think, is more about the suggestion to use human breast milk and how icky that makes is all feel. We wouldn't be talking about this if PETA were demanding all Ben and Jerry's ice cream be made with soy milk.

us, not is

@82- You are clearly unworthy of a noble name.

@82, don't try to make PETA out to be this caring and loving organization. They are nothing more than a terrorist cult run by a power hungry dictator. They love to recruit mindless celebrities (Pam Anderson) and brainwash them with all their propaganda. Meanwhile they talk other followers into committing crimes of which nothing is beneath them. Truth be told I don't think Ingrid Newkirk gives 2 flying frigs about animals and is just using them as a hook to gain power and money. PTA spends less than 1% of their budget caring for animals.

"Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses." - Ingrid Newkirk

Noble? Whatever, thumperchica. My name is Jackie. And might I ask, what are you doing to better the world?

ahha - I see your point, but the fact of the matter is that the media is not interesting in picking up a story unless it is sensational in some way, sadly. If PETA sent out a press release simply asking Ben and Jerry's to switch to soymilk, while a perfectly valid request, it would have been ignored by the press. Do the means justify the end? Hopefully. The goal is to get people thinking and cause them to seek out truths on their own. If one person decides to take a moment to research the reasons why PETA is against the dairy industry and then makes a decision to refuse to support such a hideous industry, then it's all worthwhile, in my opinion.

@82. Where is your proof? Provide a link that educates all us clearly highly uneducated people. Me? I came from a dairy farm family. No, we don't keep cows pregnant to give milk. Cows give milk as long as you milk them, once they've had a calf. No one tears the calves away, otherwise they wouldn't grow up. Once they do grow up, bulls are sold, either for meat or to extract semen for insemination, cows are kept to increase the herd as long as the farm can support that increase, otherwise they, too, are sold to other dairy farms. Artificial insemination is a more accurate means of producing pregnancy - we look for cows that are in heat, and we inseminate them when we need an increase in the herd through disease or because a cow ages and stops giving milk.

Dairy farmers have enough issues keeping their farms clean for the USDA inspector and the inspectors from the dairy processing companies without worrying about cattle farming. You are talking apples and small bags of rocks comparing the two. Cattle farmers raise cattle to sell for slaughter - including veal. What they do to their herds has nothing to do and has no reasonable comparison to dairy farming. Bringing the cattle farming industry into this is irresponsible and inflammatory.

@89, don't waste your time. PETA supporters don't want to deal in reality.

PETA kills thousands of animals every year and withholds pets from their owners.

PETA supports veganism which is just as responsible for animal deaths as meat eaters. Farmers often give permits to hunters to clear land of crop eating animals. Most often during the time they are raising young. Rain Forests are stripped for soybean production which not only disrupts indigenous animal populations but has a tremendous impact on the ecosystem. I won't even get into what rice farming does. Just to say, I have nothing against vegans just PETA vegans that claim eating vegetables is better for animals and the environment.

PETA's biggest target for recruitment is children who can be easily coerced and brainwashed.

Hey Jackie, why are you ignoring me? Am I telling too much truth?

Okay I love animals and am against cruelty all that shit blah blah but GOD DAMN IT I HATE PETA SO MUCH.

F*** those retarded hippies. Ugh.

And this is gross.

Oh but think of the great names for their icecream they can come up with!

@88 - If PETAs true point was to get B&J to stop using animal milk, why would the media matter? The fact is any NFP organization that refuses to make its bylaws open to the public is full of sh!t - and PETA falls under that category.
BTW- you might want to re-educate yourself on a few points. Main one being that just because you "feel" for a cause doesn't make you more informed - it generally makes you more judgemental.
& I strongly suspect that your name is the far inferior version spelled with all of the Q's and U's...

@88 - Oh I almost forgot - you are a douchenozzle.

I'm not ignoring anyone - I just don't even know where to begin. Momboelitist - are you aware that the methane produced by factory farms is a larger culprit in greenhouse gas emissions than automobiles? I am a vegan, and I am an environmentalist. I am not responsible for more animal deaths than meat eaters - that doesn't even make any sense. And I have cats and dogs of my own at home (all rescues), so your statement about pets confounds me as well. So, to answer your question, no, you are not telling any truth.

Vince, thank you for your intelligent reply to my post. But let's be real here. I have personally witnessed baby calves being separated from their mothers on dairy farms. To say that the dairy industry and the veal industry do not go hand in hand is a bold-faced lie. Even dairy cows are slaughtered once they are deemed unprofitable. I have also visited farms out in California, where "happy cows" are allegedly raised, and I have seen stockpiles of dead/dying calves. I've seen dairy cows with enormous, painful udders full of mastitis. And I've seen veal calves chained to their tiny crates for all of their existence before they too are slaughtered for the human palate.

Leave PETA out of this if we are going to be truthful and real. Facts are facts. I welcome intellectual discourse, but some of the blanket statements being made here are clearly born out of ignorance/hatred.

@Jackie - psst - all of the comments were about PETA - WTF would we now leave them out of it for?
Also, are you aware that humans are Omnivores? Just in case you didn't know - that means we are supposed to eat both plants and meat.
On a personal irritation note - "highly uneducated" oxymoron much?

My girl likes PETA so this is not a laugh matter! but still its kinda weird

Humans *can* be omnivores, but some of us choose kindness and live an herbivorous life. Why attack someone for an ethical choice? Better to examine your own motives and choices before condemning others'. Throwing the first stone and all...

Here's a tip, folks. Look up the definitions of "hyperbole" and "satire", or read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal". Then you'll understand PETA's tactics. They get people talking.

;-)

#97, if by your girl you mean you booty hole, and by this is no laughing matter you mean err.... f*** it! I don't see how them douchebags do that whole thing

uhhh...... who gives a f*** about how cows are treated, when tey get to my plate they don't have any of their "feelings" left do they? if people went around giving a f*** about everything's feeling the world would suck and be filled with pussy-asses like Jackie, and that would suck big donkey balls.

and i still want to milt thumperchica

@95

I was just waiting for someone to bring up this idiotic cow fart argument. Weren't there millions upon millions of bison roaming North America only a few hundred years ago? Did they not fart? What about all the other grazing animals throughout history? How is it that it's only the farmed animals that have lived in the last century or so that are such a problem?

You're right about the hatred, but it's not hatred of animals - it's a hatred for you obfuscating nuts that cry for the mosquito that fed the dragonfly. I don't know exactly what it is that you PETA people are so upset about, but I know it's not the treatment of animals - that's just a cause more socially palatable and less personally embarrassing than whatever happened to you. Daddy beat you or mummy burnt you with cigarettes or whatever, leaving you ineffectual little twits who never did and never will stand up for yourselves. So, you try to stand up for the poor little animals whose plight so well mirrors your own, at least in your warped, damaged little minds. Get real. Or, at the very least, hold your pity parties out of f***ing earshot.

Thank you, #99, for demonstrating my point with such dynamism. Keep up the good work there, Chief.

@101 - I think I love you...

It never ceases to amaze me how few people get the joke.

It never ceases to amaze me how many bland assholes think they're funny.

At least PETA's funny. Seriously, why aren't you guys laughing your asses off at their suggestion? It's freaking HILARIOUS!

Why get your panties in a wad over a joke? Isn't that what you meat-eaters say to us veg*ns when you joke about dead cows and call us sissies?

SHIT!!! IF ITS GONNA BE THAT KIND OF PARTY I MIGHT ASWELL STICK MY DICK IN THE BEN&JERRY' S BREASTS MILK!!

vegans are malnourished, and frail. everyone that i have seen or met. are always look like they could pass out. i'm a fat and sassy, beef eating guy and i gotta have them steaks in my mouth! i love grilling and cows are delicious. push for different ways of raising cows PETA and not trying to shut down the entire industry ya stupid jerks, and get a real job.

Caca, I don't know what kind of vegans you've been looking at! The veg girls I know are curvy and healthy -- myself included! :-D

yah i am gonna have to say that all the people that usually post moronic racist bullshit on the superficial are clearly over here on geekologie today.,..
peta is sensationalist noone denys this, but like someone else posted, it is to make you think, not as an actual solution.....
the meat industry is not sustainable, and if you knew anything about the amount of water and food that is required to make cow meat or dairy products you would know that...
to me drinking human milk, something that is natural, seems way less disturbing that drinking the milk intended for a calf..... we arent baby cows, but the way americans eat, they sure seem to want to look like cows...so keep on doing what you do america, its working out SO WELL!!!

I can't believe it's not Booby Butter!

What a stupid f*** you are...

Check out the segment we did on PETA. Funny shit if you ask us. People that support PETA are complete dip shits. We know we did the research. Now you go do some research then talk to us.

I wonder what PETA would do for all of the hundreds of thousands to millions of people who would be out of a job if the meat industry folded.

I don't think that many parts of the industries out there are ethical, but they're necessary. Food is necessary for survival. However people need to realize that their "holier than thou" vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is still injuring the world en large. Like someone else said, there are thousands of displaced animals (rainforest, local, or otherwise) & plant life that's been around for ages that is destroyed so they can get their spinach 20 cents cheaper. If they REALLY want to say they're better, they should grow their own food or invest in a *local* farm that grows food organically & ethically.

Also, PETA is a joke. I know, I know, the whole "but they're doing it to make people think" line. You know, at some point the whole attention grabbing thing started to work poorly in their favor. Rather than make people think about alternative methods to food & such, they started looking more like the clown of the food/green/environmental group. NO ONE takes PETA seriously other than themselves. I know that it's hard for you PETA fans, but sometimes you have to put on your big boy/girl suits & talk seriously in order to be taken seriously. Screaming "eating meat is murder" isn't going to make anyone take you seriously.

Also, cows/chicken/ect are food. They've been food from before we were born & they'll continue to be food afterwards. Should the meat industry treat their stock better? Yeah, I'll agree to that. The whole reason I don't eat veal is that I found out how horribly the calves are treated in order to make the meat tender. However, I'm not going to change my eating habits just b/c some organization tells me to. Besides, a healthy diet includes meat. No, not huge 2 lb slabs of meat per meal, but a little bit. Vegan & vegetarian diets can substitute, but it's never the same as the real thing & most of them end up having to take lots of supplements in order to break even.

The biggest thing I have a problem with is that PETA & other organizations seem to push their thoughts onto the free will of others. Rather than engage us properly, they try to brainwash us into what they want us to think. I have independent thought & I'm proud of it. I choose to eat meat in my diet & I'm proud of it. If it makes you feel any better, I choose a diet that's only about 20-30% meat & 80-70% vegetables.

Besides, humans *are* animals. We're just lucky enough to be slightly smarter than the rest of the animal life on earth. Why don't you go involve yourselves in the more horrible aspects of life? Why aren't you trying to get the food industries to give their leftover food to starving families in & outside of the US? There's always perfectly fine leftover food that gets tossed in order to keep some insane business plan. (Farmers are given subsidies in order to keep from growing too much, meat industries are no different.) Why aren't you protesting the cutting down of all of this rainforest growth? It goes to make your food products too, you know. Think of all of the ENDANGERED animals that die every year to make your soy beans & coffee. Think of the travesties that occur against humans every day, yet you choose not to focus on that & would rather pit your ego-centric lives around the fate of a food cow. One cow or pig dying is not the same as an endangered animal facing total extinction or a human being who has to wonder if they'll be raped, beaten, or killed today.

Your hands are as "bloody" as the rest of ours, if you really want to split hairs.

#109, yeah I've met my share of sexy ass vegan chicks, they just had to take a whole lot of supplements and stuff, nothing wrong with that, i just loooooove steak so much, but i do have to admit I'm not eating it 24/7 like some people here make it seem like they do, too much meat can be bad for you also, right?

To 114:

-You are a hypocrite. What makes veal calves any better than other food animals? Why refrain from eating them, but you'll eat the others? What about the sows confined to gestation crates who aren't even allowed to interact with their babies?

-Since when has tradition justified mistreatment? Job restructuring has taken place in the past, and it can again. A lot of people lost their jobs when slavery was abolished. Guess what? They found new ones.

-I've attending many a city council/state legislature meeting in a "big girl suit" to discuss the rights of animals and how to better defend them. What have you done with your life?

-Not only are we "smarter" than other animals, but we have a capacity for compassion and morality that surpasses other animals as well. Why don't we use them? Why does the most intelligent species on earth, with the ability to make moral decisions, refuse to take the suffering of the weaker species into consideration? Instead we exploit, exploit, exploit for our own personal gain. These cognitive abilities of ours also allow us to embrace more than one cause, whether it be human or animal rights. There is room to care about them all, you know.

#115: Right on! Sexy-ass veg chicks ftw!

#114: Please don't assume that animal-rights folks are simply animal-rights folks, and nothing more. I've never met a veg person who wasn't also a human-rights activist, an anti-violence activist, an environmental activist, or some sort of other active participant in trying to create a better world for EVERYONE. Animal-rights activists have layers. Like onions. Like ogres. ;-)

#116: Straight up, you rock.

"A lot of people lost their jobs when slavery was abolished. Guess what? They found new ones."

@116- it is because of the above statement that I could never, ever take you seriously. Educating yourself is honorable and in this case I think I would've stopped at that. By the time the 13th Amendment was ratified there were approximately 4 million slaves. Drawing a comparison of their freedom to "job restructuring" is not only ignorant (on so many levels) but grossly misleading.
I appreciate your fervor in this issue, but like politics or religion no one has ever had their mind changed by a blog.

#118: I think Jackie was referring to slaveowners/slavetraders. At least, that would be the more "sensitive" interpretation. :P

People use the same jobs-related argument against environmentalism as well. It's a red herring. "Oh, where will all the oilworkers go?!" They'll find jobs with the renewable-energy companies that will replace the oil companies. As in any other industry, on an organizational or individual scale, it's a matter of adaptation vs. obsolescence. When I was a radio DJ during the transition to computer-based digital broadcasting, I had to learn the new skill and make the transition -- or find another line of work. The radio station had to accept the new technology -- or fall behind its competitors. Same goes with pretty much any trend, economic or otherwise. When people/industries demand a change on a large scale, change will happen.

Latching on to one line and dismissing an entire argument because of it is a sneaky way to avoid the discussion. ;-)

http://www.wnbc.com/news/17539627/bullsemen.html
New York City, New York -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Nick Valenti, CEO of the Patina Restaurant Group and his partner Joachim Splichal, owners of Smith & Wollensky, a top NYC steak house urging them to replace the beef tenderloin they serve with a composite vegetable patty enhanced with bull semen to replace the lost protein content, 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 and that got us thinking," the statement says.

PETA officials say a move to bull semen protein would lessen the suffering of beef animals being killed for their tasty tenderloin and other prime steak cuts plus the collection of bull semen would enhance the daily quality of life for these farm animals and benefit human health.

"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of beef protein in the form of steaks that can only be enjoyed after killing the animals just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Everyone knows that semen is high in protein and Vitamin C and a SUNY-Albany study says that semen contains components that can relieve stress and lower depression and another study says semen can reduce a woman's chance of developing preeclampsia, a high-blood pressure disorder so Smith & Wollensky could do consumers and bulls a big favor by making the switch to semen."

uhhh...... does a steak have feelings when it is on my dinner table? when i smother it with some A1 sauce? I REST MY CASE!, is it any better in the wild? i mean in the wild they have to suffer through harsh winters and not find ANY food and maybe die, then out of nowhere, a f***ing predator rips your damn throat out! don't seem very humane, I say f*** the cow's feelings, they were made to be food, why should i care.

HAHA J/K i would never actually be such a big douchenozzle and actually think that way........ STEAK IS NUMMY THOUGH!

Ok, Jackie. Since you didn't seem to get what I was saying, here's my answers.

Veal is icky, but I will still eat beef. It's just how I do it. I do try to get free range beef when I can, if that makes you sleep at night any better. It's just as hypocritical as to how PETA people go apedookie over a food animal, yet you will turn your back on the pets that are mistreated (dog fights) as well as animals that are being endangered. I'm more worried about the disappearance of the white tiger than I am over the average cow or pig.

Job restructuring isn't that easy & you are a fool if you think it is. Back in the "olden days" it was easier for a person & community to be self supportive since there weren't that many of them. Farms would still run, but wouldn't put out as much & most were able to grow enough food for themselves. HOWEVER, now you have people who are not able to grow their own food, they live in large communities where the majority neither know who they are nor give a rat's behind about them, and there are more people than jobs. The people put out of work by this would be in the millions, and this would be added onto the millions that are already homeless and/or out of a job. Besides, the "slavery" people that found new jobs were already wealthy. The average person or slave? Not so much. Many of these "freed" slaves went back to their masters b/c there was no where else for them to go. Study history a little more, please.

What have I done? I've gone to meetings to better the living standards for HUMANS, argued to keep libraries, petitioned to keep historical monuments from being torn down to make way for cheap new office buildings, volunteered for youth groups & elder care, and yes, I've also lobbied for better animal care, but ensuring that the average human has access to good dental, health, & a roof over their heads is slightly more important. Don't automatically assume that I'm not doing anything in my life just b/c my viewpoints don't run like yours.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't think about the welfare of the planet, but I am saying that PETA needs to think about the welfare of humanity. They speak as if every person in the world should be a vegetarian & that all meat eating should be abolished. They focus on the plight of animals rather than thinking about how hard it is for a single income family to put food on their tables or how people in Darfur are trying to make it through the day without being raped or killed. There are more important issues than many of the issues they broach.

But in case you didn't get that, I want you to know that I do care about the general well being of animals. I don't want animals to suffer needlessly in the factories, but I know that it is necessary for animals to be killed for food. We as a society would die off if not for meat production.

THis is posting late, so I doubt anyone will really answer this.

And just who does PETA figure is going to ensure the safety of the breast milk? The FDA?? HA! Ben & Jerry's has recently told the FDA that they aren't about to start using any products from CLONED animals, which the FDA feels is perfectly ok now. As much as I LOVE animals, I gotta say PETA has definitely gone WACKO with this insane idea!! And since when is Ben & Jerry's the ONLY company that makes ice cream, anyway?? Some nut at PETA have a grudge against them & want to try putting them out of business? Total absurdity!

Wouldn't we just be sending the message to people that it's okay to keep women in cages to milk their brests?! Like cows?! Let's see if PETA fights for those rights!

To PETA use your brains if you even have anything left in your silly empty heads

I'm all for breast milk for babies, but everything that the mother eats is passed to the child. If a child (or adult) has a food allergy, say, to peanuts, and the donating mother consumes peanuts or the offending food, then the person eating the ice cream would potentially have a reaction. Some allergic reactions are life-threatening. We know what the cows have been fed, but we do not know what these ladies may be consuming (not to mention that they would need to be screened for drugs and HIV).

What would that dairy farm look like?

I'm not against being a vegetarian/vegan, but I AM against people who try to push their lifestyle on me. I eat meat...and I enjoy it. I have friends who are vegs and we get along fine. They look at me as a friend with a different lifestyle choice, not a blood-thirsty murderer. I don't see why people need to be upset about it. Life is all about choices...and that is what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. We have the right to choose our path and walk it. Farm animals are bred for a purpose...to nourish others. Just as we breed certain types of dogs to be service animals for the disabled.

Btw...I've tried to be a vegetarian. It's pretty difficult. Not only am I not a fan or meat substitutes(doesn't taste good imo), but it's freaking expensive. I don't buy B&J's as is because it's like 4 bucks a pint. :P

Living organically (even including meat) is expensive as well. Perhaps if we found a way to distribute and sell locally grown and organic products cheaper...perhaps I'll make the switch to pure organic food...but for now, it's just not practical.

And morally, I'm not too crazy about human breast milk products. That's just me. I wouldn't buy it. And the thing about bull semen is just scary. o.o

I think being passionate about animal rights is great. I for one am against animal abuse/declawing/tail cropping, etc. But the way PETA goes about it I think is wrong. Education is good, PUSHING people to do something they don't believe in is not. Thanks for listening!

I have more milk than my baby uses and if they want to offer me a good amount of money for my milk I would do it, I would ask them to post my pic instead of a cow on the carton though.

About the taste, my husband assumed it would taste odd since he never had it before,but then one night totally forgot and had some,to his surprise it is SWEET like sugary 1% lowfat milk, not at all like cows wholemilk, he now says "cows milk sucks in compared to breast milk", he says I look alot like Traci Lords and you can`t get that from a cow either,so open your minds and think maybe it wouldn`t be bad to have an additional flavor to the Ben & Jerrys along with the regular cow`s milk varieties.I eat organic and have no diseases of any type,not a smoker or drinker either, so I know my milk is at it`s best (smokers milk is not as sweet,or so I have read on a mothers info site). Be happy and healthy . ; )

I don't see why anyone who drinks cows milk, finds the notion of drinking human breast milk disgusting. I mean isn't drinking cow from another lactating species far more disgusting than drinking milk from your own species? Personally, I think both ideas are disgusting and primitive. Soy, almond, coconut and other milks are far healthier, not gross and taste better.

But in response to some people before;
1- Not milking cows would kill them, thus defeating PETA's purpose: Cows milk is for it's children. They would not 'die' by not being milked. Their teats are designed to be gently suckled by it's baby, similar to a human. It is not designed for human consumption.
2- It's not economically viable which would, thus, deprive humans from a nice source of food. - Except it is and has proven to be a viable option to discontinue the dairy trade - it would take years to implement, but producing vegetable based milk would be economically and most importantly environmentally sustainable.

PETA is absolutly the most stupid group around their rediclous suggestion proves what im squawking about i mean only a idiot would have anything to do with a group as stupid as PETA and i wouldnt try BEN & JERRY even if it were a free sample

As long as I get to pick the breast the milk comes from I'm all for it. haha
