Breast is best?

I don't eat much Ben & Jerry's ice cream - Haagen-Dazs Pralines and Cream is usually my first choice but, in an emergency situation, I have been known to resort to the occasional tub of B & J's Caramel Chew Chew.  However, I may have to rethink having B & J's as a back-up plan if something that I heard about this week comes to pass...

Apparently, Tracy Reiman, executive vice president of the animal rights advocacy group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), wrote a letter to B & J's founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, stating that:

"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".

Yes, that's HUMAN breast milk she was talking about, folks.

Thankfully, B & J's spokesman, Sean Greenwood's response was, "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."

Phew! 

But what do you think?  Your favourite B & J's flavour made from breast milk?  Would you go for it?
