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.

"In a statement Ben and Jerry's said, '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.'"
I think that's PETA's point as well (about the cows, I mean).
Why not propose soy milk?
Oxy: for the reasons Supa stated.
It is a Rhetorical Move to remind everyone that when we eat ice cream we are consuming milk that was meant for animal babies.
Right. right.
As one who's rocking the breast milk even as I type, I'm hoping to earn some extra income--wait, scratch the extra--on Ben and Jerry's new flavor, Lanolin and Backwash. Mm, mm good.
Lanolin and Backwash--.
Not so good from a carton. But from the tap? Mmm, mmm.
