Status: offline 		Anyone hear the latest from PETA? They want Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream to use mothers milk instead of cows milk. Saying it would reduce the suffering of cows and calves and give ice cream lovers a healthier product.

Those cows are the farmers livelihood it is in there interest to keep them healthy and alive as long as possible.  They take the worst situations they can find and advertise those as though all farmers do things that way.  Also on another point if you look at the amount of money given to animal preservation and conservation hunters and fishermen give amounts that dwarf the amount given from groups like peta.....Ducks unlimited is a perfect example.

Status: online 		Stupid is as stupid does.  That's what momma says....  Forrest Gump. 

Seriously this is about dumb as it gets.  Never mind the issue of cows, which is a non-issue, there is a problem with finding enough women to supply the milk. The average baby will need up to a liter a day of milk per day.  That means mom will need to make at least that amount if she is going to breast feed her child.  Let's say we find a super mom who can make twice or even three times that much milk, the best case would be say 2.5 to 3 liters per day.  The average cow makes about 22 liters per day.  That means Ben and Jerry would need over 10 women per cow to meet their milk needs.  I have no idea how much milk they use, but it would not be surprised if it is in the 10's of thousands of liters of milk.  The bottom line would be there is no way they could find enough lactating women to provide enough milk if they wanted to switch.  Also, I would bet the farm that human milk would cost way more than cow's milk.

Another serious issue would be potential disease transmitted.  Milk is a body fluid and can transmit a variety of serious infectious agents. 

From my point of view this about as stupid an idea as one can imagine.

Status: online 		Not to mention the great variance in the quality of the milk.  Cows eat grass.  Dry grass, wet grass, tall grass, short grass.  Lots of grass.  Their milk, by extension, is fairly consistent from cow to cow and grass to grass.

Human women, on the other hand eat everything from Cheetos to deep fried twinkies, to sardines.  All at the same time, for some pregnant ladies...lets just hope that tendency trails off after childbirth!  The nutritional value (and I would imagine the taste), would vary so greatly, that the FDA would never approve of something like that on a large scale.

Besides...that's just sick!

Status: offline 		What I don't understand is, if they some how convinced everyone to quit eating meat or any animal product, what would we do with 90% of domesticated animals?  Kill them all to make room for soy farms to supplant the neutrients lost?  Let cows, goats, pigs roam free, which in turn would compete with the natural order?  They would need people extinct to get what they want.  It is amazing that they have enough support out there to be as large as they are.

Status: online 		Maybe we can have women farms where they pretty much just sit around all day and a eat a constant diet of soy burgers and salads.  They would be milked in the mornings and evenings.  The rest of the day they would just hang out.  Yes the pun is intended....

Status: offline 		I wouldn't be in too big a hurry to volunteer for that job porktown. They may do like they do on these semen farms...poke their ARM up your bung to get you off and collect the stuff in a jar then use a turkey baster to impregnate the cow. Nah, I think I'd have to pass on that job. I'd see some dude walk in the room with a rubber glove on up to his armpit and he and I are going to have some words...
