A friend of mine linked on Facebook (to all their friends) a blog that contained a recipe for how to make your own cheese...with breastmilk.
There were a lot of comments on the link, like "Ew, Gross" and yada yada yada..
I went to the link and just quickly skimmed through it (har har har)
But then I really got to thinking..Why?
Why is it so gross?

Is it because breastmilk is so sweet? Because they come from boobs, which in our culture are sexual? Is it because you would think it would taste gross?
I talked to both Josh and my sister Jana about it. Both of them said they wouldn't make it/eat it. When I asked why, Josh said human milk is different from cows milk, much like human meat is different from cows meat.
I get it that breastmilk is for the babies, but it is possible for extra breastmilk to accumulate that the baby doesn't need and could possibly go bad. (Did you know you can sell breastmilk on the black market for around $2/oz ??)
Ok back to the cheese. If it tasted good, and I was too poor to buy cheese, I would totally make my own.
Thoughts???
I have to admit when I first saw the post I was like...YUCK. Hmm...but why?
Why do we drink milk from a gross farm animal but not our own species? Especially when you know its disease free?
We are the only species on Earth that doesn't drink our own milk. You know we are all consuming cow's breastmilk right?
