I wasn’t online much yesterday, but several of our readers sent me this story. Apparently, inspired by the Swiss restaurant, PETA sent a letter to Ben and Jerry’s requesting that the company switch from cows milk to human breast milk in their ice cream production?
“The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn’t make sense,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Everyone knows that ‘the breast is best,’ so Ben & Jerry’s could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk.””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,” said a spokesperson for Ben and Jerry’s.
I’m glad to know PETA is on top of these things. Texas Mommy, you should consider teaming up with them on this 😉
And then today, I saw this unrelated, but entertaining story. Apparently, a man was charged with battery for passing gas on a police officer? The perpetrator, Jose Cruz, “lifted his leg and passed gas loudly on [Patrolman] Parsons… then fanned the air with his hand in front of his rear.” Wow.
And earlier this week, I came across this very sad and bizarre story. Apparently, one man stabbed another in a fight over one of the most disgusting edible food like substances around–a hot pocket? “Police said the final fate of the disputed Hot Pocket is not known.” Which made me think of this:
Enjoy!
