So much for the milk of human kindness..................... ..............

What's the big deal? My kids loved it.

... or at least they seemed to. They sure cried for it.

I don't see how these women were taken advantage of at all. Having 2 kids, both breast-fed, I can say with absolute authority that most women who nurse have to get rid of the excess milk. My ex-wife would stand in the shower and get rid of the excess she was engorged with to relieve pain. Who's saying these women aren't doing the same thing?

We've got dishes made from everything imaginable. Why should it be so different using human milk as an ingredient? I say go ahead and make your dishes using human milk, as long as the women giving the milk are not being forced to do so. If they are, then there is a problem.

Disgusting? Yes

Our business? No

Long as they don't start doing that in American Chinese restaurants, I'm not worried about it.

I don't mean to offend any Chinese people, but I have to laugh. It seems like they will try to eat anything that isn't nailed down.

( Yes waiter, I believe I'll have the Tiger noodle and a side of monkey brains. My wife will have the Cocker Spanial with a side of poison fish. And, oh yes, bring a pitcher of mother's milk for the table.)

But I don't see any morale or ethical problem with consuming mother's milk unless it deprives an infant.

I once watched two Chinese kids, 8 or 9 years old eat lobster. They each had their own lobster. When they were done with those things, there was nothing left. They ate the gills, the tomally, and every other organ in them, including the eyeballs. There was only a pile of shell left on the plate.

Made me feel wasteful...

Aside from the moral issue of the mother's ALLEGEDLY being 'forced' to give up their milk (where in the article did they state that?)...

there's really no difference between cow,goat and human milk aside from the hormones and antibodies contained in each one. Human milk would be even more beneficial because of said antibodies.

Plus it was their food COOKED in said milk, not a pitcher of milk for them to drink from a glass.

Would I try it? No. But I know that if I was served one without knowing it was cooked in that milk, I would not even tell the difference.

But it does give you a good bussiness idea. Restaurants for Toddlers. Have parents bring their kids in and be breast fed by a number of lactating women.

Its really good for the kids since it will give them a tremendous boost in their immune systems (babies receive lots of their antibodies from breast milk).

When I was a baby my mother and 2 of her friends in the neighborhood who also had babies would frequently swap us for a day a week. As far as I can tell, we were very healthy babies.

lol..

It isn't just the Chinese. We have an aquarium here and my wife (Vietnamese) essentailly considers it a living menu. Doesn't matter what is in the tank...she looks in and can he heard to mumble "MMmmmmmm".

She also tried to get me to try her breast milk when she had both our current kids. I refused claiming that I do not want to drink her bodily fluids...injesting "some" is okay

...but drinking it? Just can't do it.

As far as this article goes...I'd say there are significant health risks eating this food. Who knows what diseases these women carry and at what temperatures the food was cooked at. It is truly disgusting.

I betcha the Chinese don't know how to fry regular blue crabs so they can be eaten like soft shells...carapice and all. They wouldn't know, you take a blue crab, take off its shell and dead mans fingers and clean the body of organs. Then fry it in a frying pan over an open fire with peanut oil and butter 'til it's crispy brown...then eat the whole thing, carapice and all.

Not a bad survival dish, and damn good too.

I don't think I'd be drinking the milk of some woman I don't know.

But, one thing you gotta love about this product is the packaging.

Well, that explains why you got sick Curval. Your wife fed you puffer fish livers, and that'll do it every time.

hehe, only j/k:D

Carry on.

I've tried it. It doesn't taste good at all.

Except that would mean she is trying to get her kids and her mother too cause they got as sick as me.

Sandman..didn't think it would, but thanks for the heads up...she is bound to try and get me to try it again when no. 3 comes along.
