Ok, my first response was "oh yuck!", then I thought... wait a minute, I drink go milk, I drink cows milk.. how do I get these preformed "oh yuck!" ideas. So... I thought about it for a bit... and my response is still "oh yuck". Bet here in the USA, you'd need a grade A Dairy

Ok, for any lactating women.. here's your money making idea:

Ummmm... I'm wondering how organic it really is? Kinda suspect it's loaded with chemicals.

I've heard of breast milk soap and breast milk cheese so why the heck not? Not that I want to try it. Boobs are for babies IMHO and I'm all growed up  .

Thanks for the laughs.

I've got a breast pump ready.  the one major hurdle I have to get over is my gender, but I don't think that's insurmountable.  just going to take some patience...

Ok, this is getting some heavy press. I want to laugh at this but it's just not very funny.

Great, a new way to choose your partner, by how good their ice cream is. I can see a whole new strange culture developing by people using their genetics and food to make ice cream to woo a partner.

New events coming to a place near you. Speed dating with one of those mini ice cream tasting spoons to sample the goods.

On a different note, some of us have theorized breast milk might be a good coffee creamer. Should get you a few looks when you use it at work and/or your favorite coffee house.

It's really thin compared to cream though, and fatty. It tends to separate when left to sit for even a short time. And the fat can be like an oily film on top, it's weird stuff that boobie juice, I am telling you. Tastes like rice milk.

I'm growed up and I respectfully disagree - (he bows very low) - they are on loan to babies for a time.

Quite right. From the medical research texts:

"The purpose of humans having such massive mammary glands, i.o.w., Boobs-glorioius-boobs, is to attract and keep mates. The big breasts are for men (and some women), not babies. Breasts are secondary sexual characteristics that make men think women are fertile and will be able to procreate. In most animals the udders only appear during actual lactation or just before as the mother's body readies itself to produce milk. But in humans they grow these gigantic frontal areas to attract and keep mates beginning at puberty. After the loss of fertility the breasts flatten out indicating the mate-ability state. This is why other species call humans "Booby-kin" - it is our distinguishing characteristic."

-Dr. Notsopolitico Correctomungo Buttrue, Phud.

LOL, perhaps I look at this from a point of view that laughs with it and at it..But my breasts were producing milk for over 7 years with  3 of our children,,I have even taught local breast feeding classes through the years..
  One has to realize it is okay to have a sense of humor about this.If one has ever been in public and insulted because they were feeding a child which everything was fully covered,you learn to laugh and laugh you must even when this happens in a ladies bathroom..Breasts are a natural part of the body and the are beautiful.I have friends with full mastectomies and you know they still have wonderful breasts,, because they put it into that state of mind..My mother a lady from the farm refers to herself as a jersey cow from her days of breast feeding..And she is 80..
  This is a subject that can get way to serious so being light hearted and just enjoying it is by far the most wonderful way to go..And by the way as a long time breast feeding mother I have never felt my breasts were on loan to my children.They have always been mine and remain mine to enjoy in any way that my mind and body choose to find enjoyment with them..
Mary

Thank you Mary! My breasts were never on loan to my children, what an absurd notion. They belong to ME and ME alone no matter who admires or feeds from them.
That said, breast obsession in any but the very young is an aberration in my mind. Sure, they are nice but they are just boobs. Some people just get a bit too freaky about them. And finding them sexually attractive but thinking breast feeding is gross? I'll never understand that enormous disconnect. That is very odd.

When you loan something to someone it is letting them use something that belongs to you. Guess I should stick with Biology and not try to make humor.

It should be a universal crime to ever bother, hinder, make bad remark  - or in any way try to stop a female from feeding her young. What could be more beautiful, natural and nurturing, than to breast feed one's infant?
