The latest in a long line of PETA ridiculousness came when the animal rights group urged popular Vermont-based ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s to stop using cow’s milk in their products (not just because of the repercussions for the animal, but because of apparent human health issues linked to cow’s milk).
Oh, that’s not the best part. They provided a substitute for cow’s milk: human breast milk. Ben & Jerry’s respectfully shot down their idea by saying: “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.” Um, ew.
