According to Google Insights, searches for "human breast milk" skyrocketed in the last month. Searches for "breast milk recipes" have also more than doubled. (See the graphs below for more details.)
Never to miss an opportunity—especially during these tough economic times—PETA has decided to create a human-breast-milk cookbook, with all profits going directly to PETA's "Dump Dairy" campaign. In between recipes, you'll be able to read about how cow's milk has been linked to zits, mucus build-up, and flatulence. We'll also include full-color pictures of veal calves who miss their mommies. All we need now are the recipes!
Please share your human-breast-milk recipes by commenting below. (Note: Aside from the breast milk, all recipes must be strictly vegan.) We're looking for desserts, snacks, main courses, etc! Let us know how you'd like us to credit you if your recipe makes the cut.
We're planning to launch the book guerilla-marketing style. Click here if you'd like more information about our Cookbook Street Team.

P.S. This entire post is a joke, but given our history, it's understandable if you didn't get that.

My baby is due in April. I think we should set up a milk bank for breast milk recipes. We should sell cakes online or something, lol. It's more natural than cow's milk, and I won't be tortured in the process.

Awwwwwwww too bad this is only a joke, I was soooooo looking forward to your guerilla-marketing stunt! Darn! :/
Like the t-shirt says:
"Real environmentalists don't eat meat" however,
REAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS ALSO EFFECTIVELY USE CONTRACEPTION!!!

MILK is the most un-natural to consume, all milk is after a human begins eating...
The ONLY food a human should be eating is Super Food which is green barley grass Juice and it also come in powder form but it MUST state juice if you purchase the powder,\.
It has all the vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber and the greens to keep your ph alkaline (high acidity is the PERFECT environment for disease & death) anti ager too ')
It's EVERYTHING needed for a healthy happy life and it keeps your digestive system squeaky clean! NO NEED for solid foods.
ALWAYS eat from LIFE not death
Peace, Love & Truth

I disagree on this idea. I believe that using breast milk instead of cow's milk is very unsanitary (blood born virus ex. HIV/Hep B). I do not see how we are torturing the cows by milking them. I do see the pain of woman having to produce gallons and gallons of milk. There is a lot of people that refuse to drink from an anonymous woman's breast milk. I think this idea of banning dairy products completely is very inconsiderate to others. I understand that you want to protect animals, but I think this is has reached its limits. Let there be breast milk and cow milk. I do not want my favorite ice cream, Ben & Jerry to be producing ice cream with breast milk and I am sure others would agree as well.

Ya, If this were real I would be just as discusted as when I think about drinking cow milk...Which is pretty bad. I have to say your ads have worked on me. Ive been vegan for 6 weeks now and Im loving it. All I have to say to the milk drinkers is its time to get off the teat already

Breast milk should NOT be shared. Next to sharing needles and participating in unprotected intercourse it's one of the easiest way to spread HIV. If someone wants to make their own cheese or whatever with their own breast milk that's one thing, but making a breast milk casserole to share at a dinner party is dangerous.

You people really need to get a sense of humor. This is obviously a stunt created to invoke thought. It's not natural to drink cow's milk, but somehow it's more socially acceptable to do so, and it's even considered "gross" to drink breast milk. That's the point of the campaign, to get people to question their views on milk. Drinking milk of another species is not natural, and neither is drinking breast milk after infancy.

Alicia,
If you are fortunate enough to have a large supply of breast milk (which unless your child grows to Shaq-like proportions will not be able to drink all of), might I suggest donating to a non-profit milk bank to help nourish premature infants?
My wife does this and gets a feeling of satisfaction knowing that her "liquid gold" is not just going to get wasted or freezer-burned.

I know drinking goats milk is fine because the bible talks about "The land flowing with milk and honey", although all good things should be consumed in moderation. During bible times goats had the milk of choice. Goats have simlilar bone size as humans compared to the larger bones of cows, therefore the calcium is more easily absorbed and doesn't cause problems. Children are less likely to react negatively to goats' milk as well. I think as long as you don't abuse any animals in order to be blessed from what they have, and if they are raised in a healthy, happy environment in exchange for their milk, then it's fine. I am a nursing mother and I would consider baking or cooking with my own milk, but only for my baby. I would use only my own milk, so I could know there wouldn't be any sicknesses passed through it. Soy milk is delicious as well. ~blessss

Milk from a woman's boobs is disgusting! It is human milk, and we drink it as BABIES, and we are supposed to stop drinking it when we switch to solid foods.
Sorry, PETA, but I'd much rather drink milk from a cow than a human. The thought of drinking food for babies grosses me out. Besides, would women want to be pregnant all the time and be hooked up to painful milking machines practically non-stop? And do we really need to make people for the sake of a stupid milk business (it does not mean that I oppose making cows pregnant all the time for us to drink their babies' milk)?
Imagine what the product of the work force would think. Wow, I was conceived just for my mother to make a glass of my milk, thinks him/her.
Would you eat baby food? Isn't that the same thing as consuming breast milk?
Seriously, to the person who came up with this incredibly disgusting idea, do people need to replace animals all the time (I agree if it comes to certain things like most forms of vivisection (I don't know if vivisection has worked at all, but I still oppose most forms of it), because we react differently to experimentation than do our fellow animals))?
However, I mostly agree with your views on animals being treated today, but some of your views and actions are extreme and/or could be propaganda.
I am a very ethical vegetarian and wish to stop drinking milk someday, but my parents are concerned about my calcium intake and want me to drink milk.
Please, think about it. Our own food we consumed as babies in ice cream?

I agree that breast milk should be offered as an alternative. I have extra in my freezer because I produce more than my baby will drink. Anyone want it? Its already frozen. Just get an ice shaver, vanilla and sugar. There you go! An ice cream recipe!
For those who think breastmilk is unsafe, cow's milk is super unsafe. It is made safe by pastuerization (spelling?). Breastmilk is the same. You need to pastuerize it to make it 100% safe. But when you cook it, all milk loses the immune properties from the white blood cells in the milk. Breast milk is way better for humans than cows milk.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the comment on how it was so disgusting to drink milk for human babies, and they'd prefer drinking milk for baby cows?
Seriously??

How sad is it that people think that breast milk is dirty?!?! It is the most natural thing in the world for humans to ingest human milk. People need to get over themselves. Why on earth would consuming cows milk make any more sense that human? Breast milk is made for our bodies, so unless you beileve that the grand design is somehow flawed, we should be drinking human milk.
