PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk
Group Says Move Would Help Humans, Cows
POSTED: 1:48 pm EDT September 23, 2008
UPDATED: 9:53 am EDT September 24, 2008
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.
PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk
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.
"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.
"
"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.

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Cofounders
Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc.
Dear Mr. Cohen and Mr.
Greenfield,
On behalf of PETA and our more than 2 million members and supporters, I'd like to bring your attention to an innovative new idea from Switzerland that would bring a unique twist to Ben and Jerry's.
Storchen restaurant is set to unveil a menu that includes soups, stews, and sauces made with at least 75 percent breast milk procured from human donors who are paid in exchange for their milk. If Ben and Jerry's replaced the cow's milk in its ice cream with breast milk, your customers-and cows-would reap the benefits.
Using cow's milk for your ice cream is a hazard to your customer's health. Dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies, constipation, obesity, and prostate and ovarian cancer. The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America's leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow's milk to children, saying it may play a role in anemia, allergies, and juvenile diabetes and in the long term, will set kids up for obesity and heart disease-America's number one cause of death.
Animals will also benefit from the switch to breast milk. Like all mammals, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to be able to constantly milk them, cows are forcefully impregnated every nine months. After several years of living in filthy conditions and being forced to produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally, their exhausted bodies are turned into hamburgers or ground up for soup.
And of course, the veal industry could not survive without the dairy industry. Because male calves can't produce milk, dairy farmers take them from their mothers immediately after birth and sell them to veal farms, where they endure 14 to17 weeks of torment chained inside a crate so small that they can't even turn around.
The breast is best! Won't you give cows and their babies a break and our health a boost by switching from cow's milk to breast milk in Ben and Jerry's ice cream? Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Tracy Reiman
Executive Vice President

How fucking stupid can one person, or organization be? WTF? Human breast milk? What the fuck are they going to do? Start corralling and stabling women and milking them? What about quality control? What if one of those dirty bitches has the HIV or something? Jesus, PETA is a group of fucking retards. They're basically saying cows are exploited for their milk, and that we, as humans, should take their place. Morons. I fucking hate Hippies. And PETA. Assholes.|

i was at the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC one year and a cute chick walks up to me and hands me a CD. i looked at the back of the cd and saw some decent bands and was like "thanks!". then i saw it was a PETA compilation and i looked at the girl with fire in my eyes and slammed the CD on the ground as hard as i could right at her feet. the case splintered and the cd rolled away.
the look on her face was worth paying money for.

They'd have to institute quality controls and humane procedures, and that's exactly the point they're trying to make. Cows, as sentient animals that Francione would call "subjects of a life" should be deserving of the same treatment as humans, so the divergent feelings you feel towards cows and humans is the exact inconsistent hypocrisy that PETA are trying to point out.
tl;dr: You accidentally proved PETA's point quite clearly.

Cows are food. That's my fucking steak and my leather wallet that those assholes are trying to fuck with. PETArds.
I don't agree with abusing animals, and I think anyone who does is an asshole of immeasurable proportions. I don't like it anymore than PETA does. They go too far saying animals should have equality with humans and that they shouldn't be eaten, or their milk used, or any OTHER number of things that millions of humans have utilized for survival for thousands upon thousands of years.
PETA: I'll take mine medium rare. Oh, and for dessert? I'll have a slice of cheesecake with a nice, tall glass of ice cold milk. Bitches.

Peta is fucking retarded
first we use cows because of the sheer volume of milk they can produce which frankly human women cannot match.
second
Animals are food
third, PETA are hypocrites
they kill animals at their animal shelter in the basement of their world headquarters.
Insulin saves lives, it was created from animal testing on dogs. A process PETA would outlaw if they had their way.
Every day insulin is used by diabetics the world over to control their condition.
Diabetics like
Mary Beth Sweetland, a senior vice president of PETA
Fuck PETA

The city down the road from me has the PETA world headquarters building in it, right on the water. Every year a local radio station has a fishing tournament right in front of their building to piss them off. It's pretty awesome.

Ben & Jerry's are some GREEN MOTHERFUCKERS. Of all the companies PETA could go after, choosing these guys was a very silly move.
