While I was browsing the news this evening I stumbled upon this story on NPR. In England an ice cream shop created a new flavor using breast milk from screened mothers. While my initial reaction caused me to dry heave, I realized it's not that big of a deal. Really, I drank it for 1 year with my mom and what makes cow's milk any better? Break it down unemotionally and you have yourself a simple way to get nutrients.
Plus, maybe this will promote breastfeeding. Then all the women breastfeeding will either sell some to ice cream stores or decide to give to a donation bank. If more people are doing it then chances are that more people will donate. Save a hungry baby :)
If this catches on then I really hope to see more access to donation banks. The benefits of breast milk are so great and very cheap. People donate blood and plasma all the time so why not milk? Just a thought.
Tchau,
Sara
