Well, it's certainly not my place to tell a woman how to use their body (they get a mite irritable over those things) I can't help but draw parallels to dairy farms, where the cows are kept pregnant as often as possible to produce more milk and many of the baby calf's become veil. A modest proposal comes to mind...

Wait... what am I saying? I've been in rwed too long, the tin foil hats are gettin' to me Boobies get larger and the more they are used the larger they will be right? Milk away, just don't have any veil babies.

The main problem here is that, unlike a cow, the milk is coming from a sentient person. Nipples are sometimes erogenous zones. And only unweaned infants don't see sucking on someone's gazongas as sexual, unless you're Freud, in which case EVERY damn thing is sexual from freakin' birth.

So it's a sex act with an anonymous partner, and you never even see that partner, but you consume their body fluid anyway.

A new, cottage milk industry?

Meeting the demand - Lactation without pregnancy, induced lactation, relactation:
Milk production can be obtained "artificially" and intentionally in the absence of pregnancy in the woman. It is not necessary that the woman has been pregnant, and she can even be well into her post-menopausal period. Women who have never been pregnant are sometimes able to induce enough lactation to breastfeed. This is called "induced lactation". Women who have breastfed before can sometimes re-start. This is called "relactation". This is how some adoptive mothers, usually beginning with a supplemental nursing system or some other form of supplementation, can breastfeed. There is thought to be little or no difference in milk composition whether lactation is artificially induced or a result of pregnancy.
Lactation can be induced by physical stimulation and by drugs. In principle—with considerable patience and perseverance—it is possible to induce lactation by sucking on the nipples alone. The nipples may need to be consistently stimulated by a breast pump or actual suckling (several times a day), and the breasts massaged and squeezed ("milked") to encourage the flow of milk. Temporary use of galactagogue (milk-inducing) drugs is also effective; galactagogue herbs may also be of use. Once established, lactation responds to demand.

I tend to agree with AURaptor that breast milk is natural and delicious for babies, but probably not for grownups so much. As an aside, my best friend tried some breast milk that her other best friend had refrigerated for her baby, Jennifer said it didn't have much taste to it. On the other hand my good friend who lives next door tried her own breast milk and said it wasquite sweet.

On the side, I've always had this weird idea about a special milk store where you can try all different kinds of milk, horse milk like in Mongolia, whale milk, elephant milk, platapus milk ... you name it, they'll have it at the Milkins Store. But I don't think they ought to have human milk ... I guess ... maybe it wouldn't be so horrible ... then again I think I'll pass.

Byte, that is scary, I don't like that idea, you and me will have to stop it from happening.

Byte has something leading towards a point here, not about sex, but about milk factories. It's not a huge step before third world women are milked. It would fit in with the eugenics plan also, taking them out of the natural world, placing an economic value on breast milk, and then making it sothey couldn't afford *not* to sell their breast milk to wealthy Europeans.

I slightly disagree with you Byte, I agree with Cantt that breast feeding babies in public is fine, though I don't think thats what you meant.

As for my friends who have tried it: Lise tried a little of her own and Jennifer tried a little of Ashley's that Ashley had put in the fridge, so no one took it straight from the breast, so I don't think what my friends did was sexual.

But yeah, that third world breast milking idea is scary.

Erg. You're taking this out of context and misapprehending me. And ignoring that I specified that "unless you're an unweaned infant, SUCKING on a breast is sexual." SUCKING.

Breastfeeding babies: fine.

Breastfeeding adults: keep it in the bedroom.

Women walk around baring their breasts in other cultures, yes. But even in those cultures fondling breasts without permission is considered molestation. Adults SUCKING on those breasts? It's sexual. Drinking the breast milk, as an adult? It's sexual. The nipples are erectile tissue and an erogenous zone on both genders. It might not be lewd to bare 'em, but it's lewd for consenting (or non-consenting) adults to fondle, bite, or suckle them in public. I really don't see this milk bar/ ice cream store thing as that far removed an issue.

It's also pretty gross if you think about it to drink anything from another human. Infants got an excuse, for those first few months, their systems can only process that milk. But once you're weaned, WHY would you WANT to? You can transmit DISEASES sharing or drinking body fluids from an unidentified partner. Head off to the sanguinarian bar, hey, I'll have a menstrual special. Maybe some blood pudding. It boggles my mind people think this is a good idea.

Quote:

Subject: infants
Verb: see
Object: sucking

Originally, you are talking about ONLY breastfeeding infants don't SEE sucking breasts as sexual. So it implies that everyone else SEES sucking breasts as sexual, NO MATTER WHO IS DOING THE SUCKING.

Only NOW are you specifying that you meant when breastfeeding infants are doing the sucking, it is not sexual. For everyone else who sucks, it is sexual. You've changed the verb to "suck" instead of "see."

Now it is clearer.

Back to the topic at hand, drinking breastmilk that was pumped or squeezed is not the same as sucking. I suppose I can see how someone might have a conditioned sexual response that human breastmilk = sucking. But I believe most of us can see milk independently from the sexual act of sucking.

ETA: Diseases are a separate issue from the sexualization of breastmilk.

I'm with you all the way on this issue, CTS, except that i don't see the restaurant as promoting human milk as being lovely and natural, it's seems to be just an attention seeking ploy on their behalf. I'm all for breast milk for infants, and for boobs out for feeding whenever the baby needs it. It sickens and upsets me that breastfeeding is still somewhat shameful and some women still feel the need to be discreet because boobs are seen as primarily sexual in this society. I think it makes breastfeeding a less attractive option for a lot of women, instead of the easier option it is. No bottles to clean or warm or store, nothing to lug around from place to place.

Okay, my milkins store won't sell breast milk because Byte is right about the disease thing. Actually I was never including human breast milk in the selection at Milk Store, I thought of it briefly and then said "Would I try it?" and the answer is no. But would I try a friend's milk from the refridgerator? Maybe.

I agree that having it at a resturant is too far. I also agree that breast feeding babies in public is totally normal and natural and shouldn't be a big issue. I personally don't understand why women choose not to breast feed babies, unless there is a viable medical reason not to.

I was never breastfeed, my brother was. That alone should tell you everything about the positives of breastfeeding. If you don't give your kids natural nutrition growing up, they grow up anxious, depressed, and paranoid.

Of course, I wasn't breastfed because my mom was ahead of the curve, I was born about the time she started showing first signs of her (many) brain tumours. They had to operate soon after I was born, and give her a blood tranfusion, and she was concerned about AIDs, and figured out AIDs could potentially be transmitted through breastmilk before anyone else did.

Side note: yes, because of the brain tumours, they also did a hysterectomy. Yet another victim of globalist "no one has good enough genes to reproduce so let's sterilize them" policy.

Oh Byte, I don't think her not breast feeding you had anything to do with those things, it sounds like your mother was being cautious and it makes sense for her to not have breast fed you given her circumstances. I'm not saying breast feeding is the be-all and end all of healthy children, I'm just saying its good to do it if one can, but if one can't I don't think it will really harm the child.

That makes sense. The doctors were just telling us about, well, not this of course, but about causes. They said:

"It used to be thought that brain tumors were genetic, but that theory is now largely discredited. Whether some populations are more susceptible or not is debatable, but natural rates for all populations are exceedingly low. If the rate is topping, say, 3-4 per 100,000 then something else is involved, a virus, like maybe SV-40, chemical contamination, radiation, or a combination of these factors."

I didn't think about it, but yes, if they used to think that it was genetic, they would start sterilizing. God, they're probably doing that now with ODD.

Ours is probably one of the rare ones that IS genetic, though. We have a decent family history on that side, and a lot of the women were prone to brain tumours, even as far back as the 1860s, and a great grandma had one, and my cousin had an odd tumour, and my uncle has all sorts of spinal tumours.

I mean, sure, the previous generation and this generation may have been exposed to something that makes them even more frequent, but we always had a high risk factor.

Though there are still plenty of doctors thinking it's genetic around here, which may have an influence.

Yes, it could also be that your family has been living in a location that has some natural radioactivity, or could be passing on a virus from one generation to the next, etc. The general feeling among these doctors was that there were a number of genetic anti-tumor factors, and if you were missing one or two, you would be more susceptible to cancer but that it wouldn't strictly speaking cause the disease.

I can't figure out if this sentence is saying contracting a disease from a cow or goat is more likely or contracting from a human is more likely. Both are viable contagion pathways, does it matter? Both are dangerous or susceptible to dangerous contamination. I can think of dozens examples for human-to-human contagion, and animal-to-human contagion. The current epidemics I can think of that are most serious (highest death count) are human-to-human. Previously, humans got small pox from horses and cattle.

It's saying that contracting a disease from a cow or goat is more likely.
"The risk of contracting a disease from a cow or goat seems higher."
In conditions of overcrowding on dairy farms, this is certainly the case. Any overcrowding promotes the spread of disease.

'Seems higher' to me does not mean IS higher. The sentence is confusing. I also doubt the veracity of it: name the many diseases that are contracted from cow or goat milk compared to contact with human body fluids. I can name more from humans, and the ones I can name cause more deaths. Syphilis, AIDs, Ebola, Hepatitis for a start.

You have madcow, I grant, and some parasites, and we used to have smallpox. But overwhelmingly contagion nowadays from body fluid is human to human. Even in cases where the diseases jumped species, such as AIDs, the primary mode of infection is still human to human. This is probably true for most species and afflictions.

The only exceptions I can think of to that right now are the bubonic plague, and West Nile Virus. Neither of which involve cows or goats as a vector. Lyme Disease might, but transmission is still no where near the degree of the other diseases I've mentioned.

"I just have to nitpick this to say that, by definition, cattle would have given humans cowpox , which was the original vaccine against smallpox."

Okay. Smallpox still originally jumped species from european hooved animals. It's why Native Americans didn't have any built up resistance to small pox; horses and cattle aren't native here.

Cow milk is awesome.

I used to drink a gallon of cow milk a day, to promote muscular hypertrophy as part of the notorious "squats and milk" routine.

I encourage you all to drink more cow milk.

Also, it is physially possible to drink a gallon of cow milk in udder an hour and keep it down...if your heart is pure and your will is strong.

Human milk, however, is absolutely horrifying to me.

I was breastfed and my mother believes that is why I do not have asthma (which common in the family). Is that really possible? I figure more than likely I've just been fairly lucky genetic wise, but can breastfeeding actually prevent or lessen conditions that run in families like that?

I'd do some research myself, but it's hard to think about boobies without getting distracted.
