    PETA Seems determined to stay in the news.

    First it was a bill board where they compared fat people to whales. Now they're asking Ben & Jerry to substitute human milk instead of cow's milk in ice-cream.

    Is this news for real?

    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.
    "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.

    I would think that human breast milk would be rather expensive. How many women are serving as milk producers out there I wonder and what are they paid for their milk? Could you imagine seeing cartons of human breast milk at the supermarket? They could have homogenized human breast milk and 2% fat human breast milk along with nonfat human breast milk.

    Shaggy, don't have a cow man...

    Lets not forget these PETA people are the same ones who do things like change their name legally to "Kentucky Fried Cruelty", only to change it back later after realizing they are an idiot.. They also were obviously all absent in 3rd grade the day the teacher went over the food chain.

    All this talk is making me want a burger...

    I don't know why they would have a beef with cow milk.

    Admit it, you'd be curious to try the new ice cream too.

    This article was posted 1 year ago. Where have you been the last year or so? This is old news, man.

    I've even got a link to a thread in another forum I frequent, with 91 replies FROM A YEAR AGO ready to go, if needed.

    Many men have taken quite an interest in that source that you are referring to. They come in a wide variety of different shapes and sizes.

    You should check out their Cafe Press store... some neat stuff there.

    I found a place that carried the PETA logo along with "There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures, right next to my mashed potatos."

    There might be some mutated frogs out there that have breasts.

    Re: PETA Seems determined to stay in the news.

    It's impossible for even mutated frogs to have breasts. Only two animals in the world have breasts - humans are the first, obviously. Cows are the udder one.
