The -real- problem with consuming human breast milk is not how ‘disgusting’ it is or ‘how the thought makes my stomach churn’ (honestly, the reverse is true for me, I have to think about something else while eating dairy products to take my mind off of the fact that it’s a by-product from some other animal), rather, the fact that human breast milk is more likely to contain dangerous pathogens that are capable of infecting humans (since said pathogens are more likely to survive in humans). And considering that HIV can be transmitted through breast milk, that’s pretty dangerous (However, this is without taking into consideration pasteurization; I think that would likely have a hand in making our milk sterile), as well as the fact that most women would not line up to donate breast milk as you have said, because of how demeaning they would consider it to be.

However, to that end, I can say easily that rather than farms, human milk donors would ideally (ideally because it’d be a financial nightmare right now) work in a comfortable facility, with paid wages. The system would be regulated and donors screened, meaning that the chances of a dangerous disease like HIV even coming near such a facility approach zero.

Since lactation can be induced without giving birth to children via suction over a period of two or so weeks, no one would be forcibly impregnated. Considering that many women are already ‘reduced’ to prostitution (something that really ought to not be as stigmatized as it is, honestly, considering the fact that… well the only problems with it are that many people, for some odd reason, consider it ‘morally wrong’ and STDs are not fun), to be able to get the money needed to feed oneself and one’s family just by hooking up a rat machine to your breasts and then reading some magazines all day… yeah, I think that’s a bit of a ‘better’ alternative, and I’m 100% sure tons of women (activists included) would agree. Though apparently breast pumps present varying amounts of discomfort (from painful to non at all) depending on the woman, you gotta admit it’s a lot cleaner than prostitution.

Also it’d be a lot harder to make cheese and ice cream and other contents because of the differing content; still possible but much more difficult.

The prevailing truth in all of this, though, is that society is very, very, -very- resistant to change, even if that change is plainly good if one thinks about it objectively, and likely anyone still reading this (and the many who stopped before reaching halfway) are going to think that I’m a crazy, perverted heathen who knows not what I speak of, we’re gonna be stuck consuming some inferior animal’s by-products for a long time.

thank you for your time, this has been some random person giving

In a sane universe, I think The Chosen One would be getting at least a question or two about PETA and ice cream. *I* certainly would like to know what his answer would be. It’s not a trivial issue. Obama’s a front-runner because he has a talent his slobbering fans don’t want to discuss in detail, beyond mentioning over and over again that he has the talent — and the talent he has, is making mainstream things look cock-eyed, and vice-versa. So yes. We laugh today, but a year from now you may very well be scanning your frozen dairy food case for a “Made With Old Fashioned Cow Milk” label, and failing to find it, dropping the ice cream from your shopping list for that night, in abject disgust. In an America run by Obama, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.
