PETA has proposed that Ben & Jerry's start making its ice cream with human breast milk rather than cow's milk. They cite health benefits for humans and say it will promote a better life for cows.

Even they admit that it's "absurd," but my thought has always been that it's absurd that humans drink cow's milk. If human milk was packaged in white cartons and sold in the grocery store, it's not different than cow's milk. The only difference is that we're used to consuming cow's milk. Those of us who drink cow's milk (not me, though - the idea has repulsed me for years) think it's normal.

Ben & Jerry's has rejected the idea: "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," said spokesman
Sean Greenwood.

A La Lecha spokeswoman says human breast milk isn't ideal for general consumption because it differs woman to woman. Does it not differ cow to cow? 

My vote is to move away from milk altogether. Cow's milk is for baby cows; human milk is for human babies. Soy and rice milk are great alternatives, and no cows are harmed in the process.

Would you eat ice cream made from human breast milk?
