Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 A London council has confiscated supplies of breast milk ice cream from a specialty parlor that launched the new variety in the British capital last week on concerns that the frozen treat might spread viruses. Westminster Council said it had visited the Icecreamists restaurant in London's Covent Garden and removed all ice cream containing breast milk for testing after being contacted by members of the public and the Food Standards Agency. " Selling foodstuffs made from another person's bodily fluids can lead to viruses being passed on and in this case, potentially hepatitis, " said Connell, Westminster Council's Cabinet member for business. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-03-02/news/ct-talk-breast-milk-ice-cream\ -folo-0320110302_1_breast-milk-icecreamists-ice-cream -- Ortiz, MS, RD *The FRUGAL Dietitian* <http://www.thefrugaldietitian.com> Check out my blog: mixture of deals and nutrition Win a Ms. Food Face plate and tote bag Giveaway ends 3/3 8 PM<http://thefrugaldietitian.com/?p=15721>Made my own " funny but real " movie: Me interviewing a " potential " Dietetic student <http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/11216383/> *Healthy Diet at any Age: We are NOT just looking * *at the years people have behind them but also the * *quality of the years ahead of them.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 This is funny! And interesting how many would say " eww " . Not for nothing, but we are the only species that continues to drink other animals " body fluids " . Granted it is tested and such. So I would pose the question, If we tested, regulated and bottled breast milk for consumption would we still think it was gross? After all, Human Milk is the milk that got us through the first 39,800 years of humanity. Just a thought from a breast feeding mom. And I hate that so many people think it is gross. I personally wouldn't drink my neighbors' milk but comparatively we drink how many different cow's, goats and sheep's milk? > > A London council has confiscated supplies of breast milk ice cream from a > specialty parlor that launched the new variety in the British capital last > week on concerns that the frozen treat might spread viruses. > > Westminster Council said it had visited the Icecreamists restaurant in > London's Covent Garden and removed all ice cream containing breast milk for > testing after being contacted by members of the public and the Food > Standards Agency. > > " Selling foodstuffs made from another person's bodily fluids can lead to > viruses being passed on and in this case, potentially hepatitis, " said > Connell, Westminster Council's Cabinet member for business. > http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-03-02/news/ct-talk-breast-milk-ice-cream\ -folo-0320110302_1_breast-milk-icecreamists-ice-cream > > -- > Ortiz, MS, RD > *The FRUGAL Dietitian* <http://www.thefrugaldietitian.com> > Check out my blog: mixture of deals and nutrition > Win a Ms. Food Face plate and tote bag Giveaway ends 3/3 8 > PM<http://thefrugaldietitian.com/?p=15721>Made > my own " funny but real " movie: Me interviewing a " potential " Dietetic > student <http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/11216383/> > > *Healthy Diet at any Age: We are NOT just looking > * > > *at the years people have behind them but also the > * > > *quality of the years ahead of them.* > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
