Entry #21: Breast Milk

So I just read an article earlier today about a chef who made his wife's breast milk into cheese:
here's the article

I personally think this shit rules; fuck all the noise from the armchair scientists who think this shit is unhealthy and has potential for disasterous results. Breast milk is healthy, has a perfect balance of aminos for human development, and doesn't have the same health risks as dairy milk. All the naysayers can back the fuck off; the comment about, "As for quality there is no comparison. You can control everything cows ingest and you can keep them producing milk all year," is nonsense. Most dairy cows probably have horrible diets, and it's not as though you can't control what humans eat - and chances are if the dude is a chef his wife probably has plenty of good, homecooked meals. I'm pretty surprised on the comments to this article - since so many of them are mildly opposed to dairy (or at least the idea behind it), most notably the dairy industry and its lobbyists. Honestly, I think it's gnarly as fuck; even though one isolated case in an unimportant, stupid fucking article hardly represents the general populace - I still see more and more people, including a few of the customers at my work, showing interest in local farming and the opinions of food activists. More progress can be made, but shit still makes me smile so huge on the inside whenever a customer mentions heading to a farmer's market or whenever somebody trash talks the dairy industry.

I'll eat cheese made from a woman's tit any fucking day of the week, as long as she has relatively healthy dietary habits and doesn't take any medication.
