Moving on to things we actually care about, ahem, when he brought this to my attention I just had to find out a little more. Mostly I wanted to know where the milk came from, I KNOW where it comes from (thanks, Miracle of Life: The Movie!) I just wanted to know from whom.
Apparently any chick can donate the white stuff, for example, at this creamery (it's like I don't even have to try) in London they just put up an ad on a website asking for breast milk. Questionable ad aside, what kind of person (mother in this case) answers to that kind of ad? A stand-up-kind-of-a-girl named Hiley, thats who. Hiley works to promote breastfeeding in the U.K. and was quoted as saying, "what's the harm in using my assets for a little cash?". You can't fight that logic, apparently:
For those of you worried about the diseases and bacteria that can be exchanged through any bodily liquid, the breast milk is pasteurized, just like cow's milk.
The proponets of this dessert tell thier customers to not think of it as 'gross' or a 'biohazard' but to think of it as organic free-range milk. From women. Women with newborn babies.You can't say it's not profitable, though, a scoop of this delicacy will set you back almost $25, depending on where you go. The flavor? "Baby Gaga", of course. Do you love the idea of Madagascan vanilla beans, lemon zest and a starving baby's cry? Well you don't have to hop on the next trans-atlantic flight to get your fix, breast milk ice cream is currently available at Whole Foods Market and will be offered at Walmart, Costco and Kruger this month.
Personally, I don't think I want to try it. It just freaks me out, that I'm drinking milk from another woman, but apparently this is a hit with everyone in the old world, everyone except Lady Gaga.
