I don’t see a market developing, but if a significant market ever DID develop for human breast milk cheese, rest assured that cheap human breast milk cheese would come from places like China, produced by women treated as dairy cows by their “comrades.”
I am not vegan. I would try it for shits and giggles regardless of how it tastes, but I can’t see myself eating it on a regular basis.
… and if the mother was on a regulated diet, I’m not sure I’d even want to try it. Moral objections and all. They have a baby to feed, you know.
Sounds like a key plot element of the next *Wallace and Gromit * movie.
Wallace, chewing thoughtfully: “It’s like no cheese I’ve ever tasted…”
And then it would be bannned, by people trying to protect the morals of…small children. 
I’m just not sure why it would be icky. I was playing around with my ex’s tits a few weeks ago (she’s preggers at the moment I must add) and she warned me that if I wasn’t careful I might end up making her release some milk. A bit of a wierd thought :eek:
Two things to add:
One, Pushkin obviously knows something about managing cordial relationships with his exes that I don’t.
Two, this website (scroll down to “Vol. 5”) may be of general relevance to the topic at hand.
Now, oddly enough, I’m off to buy some groceries.
Oh yeah - link may not be work safe, depending on how your co-workers feel about two images of underwear-clad bosoms.
[sub]Man, I’m 25 and I still can’t say “bosom” without giggling.[/sub]
Note - if anyone would decline it based on objections that it might harm a new mother or nursing baby, it is easy enough to keep up a production of milk after you have weaned a baby, and some mothers produce more milk than their child can consume. If someone wanted to pay me a million dollars to pump breast milk after my kid was done I would say sure, what do you want me to eat? Provided it wasn’t some risk to my own health (not likely, to make quality breast milk you need to eat healthfully) I would do it for the right price.
In fact there are breast milk banks where lactating women donate to mothers who for some reason cannot nurse. I don’t know if the donors are compensated in any way, but it is very expensive to buy human breast milk, as others have pointed out it must be carefully screened and the donors must be disease-free.
Hmmm.
You folks may want to read Piers Anthony’s short story “In the Barn”. It first appeared in The Second Dangerous Visions anthology, and has since appeared in one of Anthony’s own anthologies. It follows this “human Breast Milk” business to a logical if freaky conclusion.
You just beat me to it, CalMeacham! Well anyway, I’m delighted that someone else remembers the Dangerous Visions series of bad-boy anthologies. “In the Barn” also includes a pornographic rape. Humans made into beasts. The flip side of the Island of Dr. Moreau.
As we now know, we are all designed to eat pasta. Some are designed to eat it with marinara, some with alfredo. Some with meatballs and some with soy crumbles. It’s one great noodle pot of a world.
Ramen.
I wouldn’t see any problem eating cheese made from breast milk.
Though, of course, whether for cheese or by the glass, only the finest Cambodian breast milk will do.
