PETA Pushes Breast Milk On Ben & Jerry's

Hey Gators, know that Ben & Jerry’s across from campus? You know the one...it’s filled with delicious Half Baked cones and cups of Phish Food.
 

Well, what if those delicious goods were made of breast milk?
 

That’s the suggestion coming out of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. According to CNN, PETA sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield urging the cofounders to use human breast milk in their products instead of the usual cow’s milk. This would supposedly lessen the suffering of dairy cows, but what about the suffering of consumers? It probably tastes fine and all, but the idea alone is enough to turn someone off of Cherry Garcia for life.
 

While so far a spokesperson for Ben and Jerry’s has stated that the company will be refraining from the breast milk, PETA stands behind its suggestion:

"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."

Hey, if anyone understands that the breast is best, it’s college students, but let’s keep the breast encounters to late night sack sessions and away from our ice cream cones.
