Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again

  Serious question, I wonder if a healthy lactating human mother’s milk could be substituted in recipes. I’m sure there must be a non-zero chance in the course of history that someone has tried it.

    If she lives in a patriarchal society, then the culture doesn't allow her to truly consent to giving up her milk for anyone but her own consumption, and that's assuming she doesn't do work or volunteering that somehow furthers the patriarchy.

    Or something unhinged like that.

    It's still milk. Tastes different though. Probably has a different consistency. Can't say I've had any recently though. So, works as a simple milk substitute, kind of, maybe works for other dairy products.

    I remember in a random German movie it being a minor plot point that a mother uses her own milk for her coffee

    Human milk tastes different. Some say it tastes a little like canteloupe juice. I thought mine made my coffee taste…odd. Never tried it in baking though.

  that would be so hilarious if it weren't reliant on the violent victimization of another sentient being; so close!

    This is why so many people ridicule vegans. Cows are probably pretty happy with the arrangement. Don't have to deal with predators or lack of food. Bulls, well, probably not.

      yea, super pleased to be passing blood and pus along with the milk intended for the baby that was taken from them within hours if they're lucky, love that you're so plugged into this issue.

        there is no evidence cows have intention for their milk. it’s a secretion like saliva. it’s only intended for whatever the farmer intends.
