Plan to sell ice cream made with human breast milk frozen by city council
Kristina's milky jugs.
Thanks to K.S. over in Great Britain for alerting me to this story that’s been squirting all over the Internet like a busted baby-bottle nipple.
A Covent Garden ice cream shop called Icecreamists has been relieved of its new frosty taste treat called Baby Gaga by government officials. It’s because of one of the ingredients in Baby Gaga: human breast milk. The rest is made of Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest. Baby Gaga went on sale last week, cost curious customers $20 a cup and sold out the first day. There are apparently a lot of lactation fans in London who were interested in getting their moo-moo juice from another source than the original tap. The owner of Icecreamists is a gent named Matt O’Connor. Matt has 15 breast-milk supplying ladies who pump out their tits at home and send it to Icecreamists. They make £15 for 10 ounces which is currently $24.50. 35 more lactating mammas have signed up since O’Connor released Baby Gaga but now the future of this dairy product is in jeopardy.
The Westminster cabinet member for business told the press: “Following two complaints from members of the public and concerns from the Health Protection Agency and Food Standards Agency, our officers visited the premises and removed all ice cream being sold as containing breast milk. Selling foodstuffs made from another person’s bodily fluids can lead to viruses being passed on and in this case, potentially hepatitis.” Mr. O’Connor issued his own statement: “As far as we are aware there is no law prohibiting a business from selling breast milk ice cream.” He said his company screens its breast milk donors, the same way the UK National Health Service screens blood donors, before pasteurizing the milk. I’m not sure if they check the cholesterol levels.
Icecreamists could have gotten in touch with Kristina Milan if they really wanted to stock up on the baby beverage!
Millions of babies around the world suck milk from their mothers’ nipples every day without health issues so the reason for the seizure doesn’t really make sense, especially if the milk is screened and pastuerized. It’s more likely because of the sexual angle involved or at least the sexual angle in the minds of the complainants. Fact is, there’s a low-key subculture of adult males who hire wet-nurses to suckle for their breast milk and a lot of it goes on in the UK. I knew a Brit years ago who used to seek out and hire lactating mothers for that reason. No sex was involved, just nipple sucking and milk consumption.
