[rquoter]NYC Chef Adds Mother's Milk Cheese To Menu PETA, who has urged Ben & Jerry's to use human breast milk in the past, is all for chef David Angerer, owner of the New York City restaurant Klee Brasserie, adding "Mommy's Milk" cheese to his menu. The item is made possible by his lactating wife, and he's offered up a host of images and the recipe on his own website—it includes 4 cups mother’s milk, yogurt, rennet and sea salt. The chef admits that he "was concerned... I wondered if it was ethical," but has decided to make it available after some thought and recipe testing; he recently told Grub Street, "It tastes just like really sweet cow’s milk." As for PETA, they say don't knock it til you try it... but would you?[/rquoter] update to the story here. personally, i like mothers, and i like cheese, and having sampled the non-cultured product, i could dig i nice maternal chevre or camembert.
"Ethical" really isn't the issue here. They could put my spooge on the menu for all I care. The issue is whether it's gross or not (whether it tastes good/is healthy for consumption.)
Sorry, I'm not really up to speed on the health benefits/drawbacks of consuming breast milk in cheese form as an adult. Just saying that this doesn't have to pass an ethics test, it has to pass the "fit for consumption test" (like, you know, all foods have to do), doesn't imply that there is inherently something unsafe about it to eat. My argument is with the words chosen by the creator/editor, not much else.
Can't you get like diseases like HIV from/through human mother's milk? I don't know how many cows have HIV. Pass.
lulz...you need to see videos of dairy farms...those cows are so ridden with diseases and malformations it's unbelievable...and yes, hormones in commercial cow's milk have been linked to cancer and immune system deficiencies...let's not act like cow/goat/buffalo milk is "safer" for adult humans to consume than human milk. we're humans, we should drink human milk anyways (and be weaned off after infancy...). cow milk belongs to calves, imo...
