    The Latest from PETA ... (Joyce)

    If I hadn't just heard on the noon news a couple of minutes ago, I wouldn't believe it.  They've petitioned Ben and Jerry's  to stop using cows milk in their ice cream and instead use .... are you ready for this? .... human breast milk. Who sees this as not happening any time soon??? Apparently B&J declined.

    PETA wasn't joking.  They were as serious as a heart attack.  B&J's turned them down saying they believed human milk was best for human babies but not well suited to ice cream, especially if you're mass producing the product.

    PETA never jokes, but they DO know how to manipulate the press, don't they?

    Nope, she isn't kidding...here's the link.  I am shocked.  So instead of pumping milk from cows, they want to hook up humans and have them pump instead.  I am totally speechless

    Oh man.  Nothing like lactating forever.......

     I still think it's an attention seeking stunt, like most of what they do.  They must have KNOWN B&J would turn them down... but they knew this wuold get people talking about PETA again.  It's only been, how many? days since they were last in the news saying/doing something stupid.

    I am sure the idea is to make us feel badly that cows lactate basically their entire short lives...

    Sorry but humans need calcium and there are a lot of us out there.

    I can only imagine the sort of woman who'd find this a great way to make some quick money...probably the same women who have kids but don't care for them...not to mention the illnesses they'd carry and potential for drugs passing along.

    But really...that org just wants us all to feel badly for milk cows. I may feel badly...but I would feel much more badly if our childrens growth were stunted and osetoporosis completely took over in our species.

     When that poor guy was beheaded on the Greyhound Bus last month, PETA tried to put an ad in the Winnipeg Sun saying that it was just the same as killing cows for meat....The Sun declined.  I can just imagine what that guy's family would have felt like:(
