PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Breast Milk
Those two freaks must be agonizing over this. Called on it by PETA. Those bastards! WATERBURY, Vt. -- 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. Titty Vanilly? Boobalicious? Sweater Monkey Crunch? "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. Puts a new spin on "milking time"... 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. Ummmmmmmmm...they're dairy cows. It's what they're for. Are we gonna set them loose in the wild? "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 we haven't come up with anything outlandish in a coupla weeks. "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 a spokesperson for Ben and Jerry's. ...and we would prefer not to piss our company down the drain so that we can remain rich old hippies.
