HELLO TITTY

Breast Milk Cupcakes Are Nature's Candy

WORDS AND PHOTOS BY MILÈNE LARSSON

A while back, PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, made all the “weird news” columns in the US by suggesting that Ben & Jerry’s should use breast milk, like the kind your mum fed you from her mum tits, instead of cow milk. What crazy nuts! What a shocking idea! WRONG. It is a FACT that breast milk is healthier for you than cow milk.

In case you’re still dubious towards imbibing of le lait teton, we forced our friend Patrick to do a taste test: Breast-milk cupcakes vs. some regular old cow-milk cupcakes. He was hesitant, but we were like, “Suck it up, wimp!” And we went on, “Don’t you think it’s weird that humans are the only mammals who still drink milk as adults? And not even our own, but baby fluid for a whole other species? Did you ever think about the fact that we’ve mutated our own stomachs in order to be able to digest bovine baby fluid, Four-Eyes?”

And then Patrick went, “Let’s eat these cupcakes, by Christ!” After quietly chewing for a few minutes, he whispered, “I… I can’t tell any difference at all.” But we said, “No, you have to choose one.” So he held up the cupcake in his right hand and said, “This one is vaguely tastier.” And guess what, it was the boobcake! Breast milk officially wins!

And just in case you’re still dubious, we found and interviewed a BREAST-MILK EXPERT who confirmed what we already know: That we are smarter than you.


Vice: Hello nutritionist and breast milk specialist Elisabeth Kylberg. Can adults benefit from breast milk like babies do?

Elisabeth Kylberg:
I think that adults shouldn’t drink milk at all, whether it’s human or cow milk. It’s food for babies. Cheese and yogurt, on the other hand, are good for us. Still, the longer women breast-feed, the smaller risk they run of getting breast and ovarian cancer. I wouldn’t be surprised if breast milk is one day used as a medicine—it’s been proved to kill cancer without even damaging the afflicted cells.

So what’s healthier for us to drink, cow or human milk?

Definitely human milk, but I don’t think there’s a market for it.

Is it possible to lactate without actually getting pregnant?

There have been several cases of women who’ve adopted babies and breast-fed them, or grandmothers who breast-fed the baby if the mother passed away. In most cases, they weren’t able to produce the same amount of milk as women who were pregnant, but if you stimulate the breast with a baby sucking on it, for example, it will eventually start producing milk. Even men can start producing milk after heavy breast stimulation, but their milk is not as nutritional.

So if we survived a plane crash and were left on a desert island, or in the Andes like in that movie Alive, we could actually survive on our own milk?

Ha ha, for a while maybe.

I have breast milk on a regular basis. It’s really yummy. And after drinking it, you will usually feel really comfortable and content because of the hormones. It really is the best milk for people to drink. In fact, I always wonder why there isn’t a public breast milk industry the way there is a cow’s milk industry. It’s a good way for women to make money.

why is everyone up in arms about us drinking cow milk but animals don’t drink other animal’s milk? of course they dont they’re fucking animals. i guarantee you if i put breast milk in my dog’s bowl he’d drink that shit so fast the bowl would be spinning.

Very first question of the interview;

"Vice: Hello nutritionist and breast milk specialist Elisabeth Kylberg. Can adults benefit from breast milk like babies do?

Elisabeth Kylberg: I think that adults shouldn’t drink milk at all, whether it’s human or cow milk. It’s food for babies. Cheese and yogurt, on the other hand, are good for us."

Would someone be so kind as to tell me how it is that milk is "FOOD FOR BABIES" and cheese and yogurt, which are clearly dairy derivatives of that baby food, are not baby food? No, in fact, they are good for us? What exactly do they remove and/or add to the milk to make that quantum leap from unsuitable to part of your balanced diet?

Nice. I only drink tit milk from wine glasses as well. Something that special would be unrefined in anything less. If you use real crystal you’re a true pimp.

Ahh, the halcyon days of my girl being pregnant and the sheer joy of tasting the sweetest tit-ay milk ever. If given a choice between breast or cow milk, I would choose breast every time. A.) Its tastier. B.) Its Healthier. C.) It comes from a tit, not an udder, so yeah, that is much hotter.

The milk is NOT a part of the food pyramid! Though corrupted milk-farming countries add milk to the food pyramid and makes sure school kids drink it. You know, to make money…

cow milk isn’t as good as we’re led to believe, when milk is pasturized and processed for production they strip the milk of its natural nutrients then "fortify" it with nutrients which really don’t stick to the milk, so milk straight from a cow or human is healthy, but store bought milk isn’t. So unless you own your own cow the milk your drinking isn’t healthy, unless its your wifes/gf’s

What planet is she on??? It’s taboo for adults to drink breast milk that’s why we don’t... but cow milk has all forms of essential nutrients, calcium, not to mention clinically proven anti-cancer, anti-bacterial properties not found in the same proportions in cheese. Why else is it the food of choice in the Food Guide/Pyramid?? It’s not just for babies!!

"My granny once made teas in a hospital with breast milk by mistake and no one knew."

And how, exactly, did she do that? Did her tit suddenly erupt like Mount St. Helens directly into a tea cup?

No, she was in the hospital after giving birth to twins in the 40’s and she was in a week, so she went to help the nurse make teas and the nurse saw that there was no milk so went away to look for some. My gran found a jug of milk in the cupboard (it was the 40’s)and not knowing that it was breast milk, made the teas with it. The nurse came back and realised it was breast milk but said they would just use it anyway.
