Alternative to tainted cow's milk...

Who doesn't love ice cream...




Currently, we are unable to really enjoy our favourite ice cream with peace, as the milk used may be tainted. Almost all of the supplier declares that the milk used in their products are safe... not from China.. therefore no melamine.. blah blah blah

Beats me, this is the very firstime... after many many many years I heard this.... not from China. Almost everything nowadays has something to do with China... so I really do not know who to believe... I guess, eat at you own risk!


Well, cow's milks has been used since time in memorial and it is very difficult to subsitute this immediately.

We have the following alternative (not exhaustive):

1) Goat's milk
2) Soy based milk
3) Good old human breast milk.

Yes, you read that correctly, human breast milk.

There was this association that is petitioning an ice cream producer to subsitute cow's milk with human's milk.

The following is the excerp from the letter:


"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. "

Wow... I am imagining that this must be one of the milk supplier....


Who wants to work there milking.. the cow breast...?

Now, assumming that we have this ice cream, made from breast milk.....

Will you eat it!?


Conclusion:

Mother's milk is still the best!
