The Breast Is Best! PETA Asks Ben & Jerry's to Dump Dairy and Go With Human Milk Instead
September 23, 2008
Burlington, Vt. - This morning, PETA dispatched a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of ice cream icon Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace the cow's milk in their products with human breast milk. 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. PETA points out to Cohen and Greenfield that such a move on their part would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health at the same time.
"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Everyone knows that 'the breast is best,' so Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk."

...and PETA shows once again that they love animals more than people. :dry:
it's narrow minded to think cow milk = cow babies, considering there have been many generations of healthy cows since the concept of milking them for our own consumption.
along these lines, should we be giving the milk to the adult cows? :doh:
go fuck a goat and be over with it, PETA

They do it to celebrities who wear leather and fur, too, and it's not funny. It's assault. As I've stated before on these boards, if one of those people ever threw red paint or animal blood on my fur coat (if I had one, which I would love), the ensuing carnage would make a slaughterhouse look kindergarten fingerpaint.

I know what NAMBLA is. I'm sure every time NAMBLA puts out a press release, they get crucified, too.
Oh, wait. I don't see press releases suggesting stupid, sick, or bizarre things in furtherance of their cause. I only see that from PETA.
I wouldn't say that PETA gets more hate than a group of pedophiles. I would say that PETA spends more time putting a target sign on themselves. Their campaign to get other people to think like them is so extreme that they've made themselves repulsive or a joke. Or both.
But I'm pretty sure there will be people with pitchforks and burnings of effigies at the next NAMBLA rally that makes its way to CNN.

Because you're assuming that PETA gets more hate than NAMBLA. You hear about PETA rants whenever PETA brings it on themselves.
You hear about NAMBLA rants whenever NAMBLA pokes their head out of the perv closet.
PETA pops out more frequently than NAMBLA. You hear PETA rants more frequently.
In short, you're assuming that NAMBLA gets more love than PETA because you don't hear about them as much.
I might publicly state that I hate broccoli. I may rave about it. But just because you never hear me say that cauliflower makes me vomit doesn't mean that the thought isn't there.

I guess I just don't identify with celebrities getting their fur coats wet.
Sure, assault isn't justified concerning this, but it's not like they put people in life threatening harm, do they?

Why do neo-conservatives (purported or otherwise) and right-wing Christians recieve more hate than either? For that matter, I've heard more hate directed at Sarah Palin recently than at Nambla or PETA. Also, how is NAMBLA any less antithetical to the self-image of typical Americans than PETA is? We have repeatedly demonstrated our willingness to compromise cherished principles in order to protect children from pedophiles.
To more directly answer your question, headlines remind people of a hated group's existence, so you spend more time than you might otherwise hating on the group in question. The more time you spend hating something, the more likely you are to remember it, and the more likely that that hatred will expand beyond rational proportions.

I thought this was a joke from the title. Surely!, I thought, PETA + breast + ice cream cannot be what I think it is! I stand corrected, the thread was exactly as advertised.
How about we purify our own urine to drink too instead of taking water from the freshwater animals? Let's take it a step further, we'll just eat dead people instead of animals. Hell, lets feed people to animals!!1!2
Gross. Milking a cow is harmless, and they live a better life, in my opinion, than they would on their own in the "wild" where they'd be eaten in a savage way by nature. I'm not sucking on some random chick's tit-water just because some douche in a tye-dye shirt that hasn't showered in a month and doesn't pay their fucking taxes wants to see the cow roam magestically in the wild and shit all over my lawn.
I'm going to drink twice as much milk as I normally do all week now, and eat ice cream every night instead of once a week.

Though both their 'zines are probably on the 'banned' list in most public libraries. LOL.
To me, this is obviously a "statement". Like whenn that US Senator proposed a bill to re-enact the mandatory draft. His point was that ALL sons of ALL parents -- including the wealthy, elite, and priveleged -- should be drafted. And that would cause a total change in war policy b/c elected officials have to think about their own family.
I don't think PETA takes this request (very) seriously nor do they think their request will be taken seriously. They probably WANT you to be 'grossed out' because in their minds, it makes a point. "Mammary milk" is gross and unecesssary, regardless of whether it comes from a human or other animal.

You know, I didn't even think about it this way. (felt I should say I am NOT being sarcastic, since I'm in a hyper mood today. I really think that may be their underlining point.)
Only they FAILED. I still think cow milk rocks and was specifically manufactured and milked from cows for me, and mommy's milk is for babies. ^_^b scoreboard houston!
Hot dogs and sausage don't gross me out because of what they're made of, and milk doesn't either. It passes my A-Okay test and that's good enough for me. To compare Mother's Milk to Cow's Milk just does not compute in my brain.

*snark* That's one way to cut down on the recent job loss. Oh, hey, and it's also a huge boon for the women's libbers. This would be a job that only *we* could do!
Wow. As gross as this is, I'm somehow seeing economic potential, here.
If they can find enough willing human milk donors to displace the entire dairy industry, I would be so amazed and impressed that I would support it.
But that will never happen.
It would just be to weird to sit down with some milk you got from the local store and think "theres a pretty good change my friend's mom donated this milk".
But in all seriosuness, if it is harmful to cows, would it not be harmful to humans? I know thats the point that we are supposed to consider, it's just too bad no one cares about the well being of cows compared to women. And by too bad, I mean for PETA.
PETA and NAMBLA should form one supergroup, called the North American Man/Boy Love Association of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. That would make for some killer marketing.

Yes, HUGE economic potiential here (no pun intended btw) but you know men could do the job if they took hormones to get bewbs, but the women could make organic women only companies that advertised "no artificial hormones" until the men's companies took them to court to sue and say they couldn't advertise that "No artificial hormones" saying it implied that artificial hormones were somehow harmful (As has happened now with Monsanto and the organic milk companies :()

22 oz? Holy Christ, I couldn't eat that much. However, about 6 oz of steak, cooked with a bit of salt, pepper and garlic, along with green beans (cooked with bacon) and mashed potatoes (with butter, salt, and garlic) would be perfect.
However, I don't hunt. :P I'm against gun control, but I don't like guns.

... I could see a man definitely trying to launch this idea. "..Dudes. Look. If we can convince them of this.. We won't need machinery. *We* could milk them. It's for the animals! I swear! >.>.. Yeah, go PETA...!"

Dood, they have MUCH better PR than NAMBLA. *MUCH*
Though both their 'zines are probably on the 'banned' list in most public libraries. LOL.
To me, this is obviously a "statement". Like whenn that US Senator proposed a bill to re-enact the mandatory draft. His point was that ALL sons of ALL parents -- including the wealthy, elite, and priveleged -- should be drafted. And that would cause a total change in war policy b/c elected officials have to think about their own family.
I don't think PETA takes this request (very) seriously nor do they think their request will be taken seriously. They probably WANT you to be 'grossed out' because in their minds, it makes a point. "Mammary milk" is gross and unecesssary, regardless of whether it comes from a human or other animal.
Those PETA folks are so good at guerilla marketing and PR though.
We could talk more about PETA, but I'll wait to see what others have to say.
I'm alarmed that it took 63 posts for anyone to reach this conclusion. :D
And I also liked the direction this thread took at INTPC better. A lot better.

Oh, Ivy. Reaching a conclusion and saying "HEY! Check out this conclusion I made!" are not quite the same.
No kidding. Evidently you and lateralus and ajblaise and pure_merc had hardons for each other and couldn't be arsed to say it out loud.

I actually thought everyone but ajblaise realized it wasn't a serious proposition, and he was enough trouble already.

I actually got propositioned by Lat and Merc in a PM, but eventually declined.
Eventually. So you thought about it, huh? Can't say I blame you, they're sexy beasts.

I need to quit taking things so literally :doh:I was wondering if anyone belonging to PETA had volunteered their milk.

Lat was showing me videos of him in a nurse outfit with Merc riding piggy back screaming at the top of his lungs... hard to say no to that right away.
You know, the term "piggyback" discriminates against our porcine equals. I'd advise you to avoid using it in the future.

The last two pages of this thread are WAY more gross than eating human-milk ice cream, I can tell you that.

This is scientifically true, because I would rather have the human milk product than read it again.
