Klee Brasserie Serves Breast Milk Cheese
You may remember when pushing for breast-milk foods for people was a publicity gimmick done by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals--see below). Well, this time it's real.
"Iron Chef" Daniel Angerer said necessity is the mother of invention--and in this case the source of milk. He had and wife Lori Mason had a freezer full of her breast milk, and were running out of room. Rather than waste it, he decided to serve cheese made from it with figs and Hungarian pepper at Klee Brasserie.
Of course some people are shocked. Even the New York City Health Department advised him to stop serving it. They didn't have a law against it, but you know if they work hard enough they can make up--I mean find--something.
It's actually odd that it would seem odd. People think nothing of swallowing bodily fluid from a fat, four footed creature that regurgitates matter from its stomach, then chews it and swallows it and regurgitates it again. But humans drinking a drink that's specifically designed to fill the nutritional needs of humans? Horrors!
And if it starts with getting adults to consume breast milk, it won't end there! Before you know it, they'll be having teenagers, preteens and young children doing it. Can you imagine the atrocity of having babies breast feeding?

Women's breasts can make milk for years. If you drink milk anyway, why waste it? And you know the milk giver gave it willingly. Even PETA can agree.

It seems odd to me. But this is America to each their own.

A place called Brasserie serves cheese from what comes from a Brassiere?

This just isn't right. Mother's milk is for mothers to give to their babies, not strangers. Ugg. Also that can't be sanitary.

Name's Rev. Bootie. Now I'm not a stranger. Cut me some cheese.

I don't know that I'd go for it, but if it floats your boat, dive in.

I'd sell my milk. People sell their blood to go in other people's bodies and that's not natural. Drinking mother's milk is.

I wouldn't eat but if someone else wants to. Maybe I would eat it.

A breast is the best,
So serve me some cheese, please.

It's funny that people think its OK to drink milk from a cow but not from a person!

We also eat meat from a cow. Should we be cannibals? Of course not.

Say Andy. If getting milk from a human mother is cannibalism, then babies are cannibals? Guess it must be OK then.
