An ice cream store in London is now selling ice cream made from 75% human breastmilk and 25%cow milk, with lemon zest and vanilla for flavoring.
They are selling a scoop for $22 and are running out of product. They get the human milk from women who provide it to mothers who are having trouble supplying their own milk to their children. The restaurant is paying them $1.61 per oz and is supposed to be using the same tests on the breastmilk that is used on donated blood.
So far many of the purchasers are mothers who are curious about the taste, according to the article online (http://www.aolnews.com/2011/02/24/london-ice-cream-parlor-creates-baby-gaga-flavor-from-human-br/ )
What do you think about this? Is it a good idea? Would you have chosen the name "Baby Gaga" for this "flavor" of ice cream?
Would you eat it or let your kids eat it? Would you be concerned about infection? Would you sell breastmilk to be made into a commercial product like ice cream?
