The world of what?

January 18, 2011 by Brigitte Pellerin 3 Comments

Look, I’m not against breast-feeding. Not at all. It’s great if that’s your thing. I’m not even that squeamish about lactating in public (though not very wild about it either). But this is pushing it.

The Wisconsin Bang variety is “deliciously creamy,” City Funk has a “dizzying sweet finish,” and Sweet Air Equity is a “mild, hard cheese that crumbles in your mouth.” The fromage connoisseur might salivate at these tantalizing descriptions, but for those who know the key ingredient — human breast milk — these culinary accounts elicit everything from curiosity to utter disgust.

To New Yorker Miriam Simun, a breast-milk cheese-maker who recently served up the creations as part of a university project, the question is: To eat or not to eat. We consume breast milk as a baby, so why not spread it on a baguette as an adult? We consume cow’s cheese, so why not sink our teeth into cheese coagulated from human milk?

Wanna bite? (Me: no, thanks. That batch wasn’t made for me. And it’s creepy.)

    Yup. I don’t really see this company surviving.

    And just WHERE are they getting the milk?

    I ask the same question as Melissa! Who is giving them or selling them this milk? Most breastfeeding moms I know consider that milk liquid gold for babies…..as a mom who had extra milk and donated mine I can’t imagine saying “sorry NICU babies, some people need this milk for their gourmet food”…..And the part of the article about PETA asking Ben and Jerry’s to use human milk in stead of milk “Stolen from tormented calves”!!! wow….yes…let’s steal from human babies….save the calves from “torment”…
