PETA's Top Four 'Breast Is Best' Campaigns

Written by PETA

Posted 08-04-2009

Why not list five or ten? In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, we're doing everything in pairs. So, come take a walk down Mammary Lane as we revisit some of our most titillating pro–breast milk moments from the past couple of years:

"If It Was Good Enough for Jesus" billboard. Mother's milk is the best thing for every baby. 'Nuff said.

While we're on the subject of being Religulous, WWBMD (What would Bill Maher do) if we asked him to do a funny ad for our "Dump Dairy" campaign? Here's the answer.

Ben and Jerry's breast milk ice cream. We wrote to this ice cream icon asking it to ditch the dairy products and use breast milk instead. While our dream of having flavors called "Breast Milk Brittle" and "Baby Mama Milk Shake" never came to fruition, we did manage to get people thinking about how bad cow's milk is for their health.

"Milk Gone Wild" video. It was banned from the Super Bowl, but it lives on years later in the viral world of YouTube. This sassy spoof shows how udderly gross and wrong it is to exploit underage heifers.

Ok. While I can see how you do not want the mass milking factories for cows it is actually unethical to not milk a cow. There utters swell and it makes them very uncomfortable.

Well I think driking cow's milk is a bad nasty dirty habit. But really think about it would you drink milk from a human strangers breast? You would not even know what kind of illnesses or diseases they may have. I think soybean milk andor rice milk will do fine for me. Bien pienso que la leche de vaca potable es un malo mancha el hbito. Pero piensa realmente de ello le hace toma leche de un humano seno de extranjeros? Usted hace ni sabe qu clase de enfermedades que ellos pueden tener. Pienso que leche de soya yo leche de arroz hacen multan para m.

Vegetarians can breastfeed. So can vegans. In fact MEN can breastfeed and if you think I am kidding try youtube o at least I think that's where I'd seen it.

Sue I find soy milk delicious and I certainly agree that mothers' breast milk is absolutely the best for an infant. You asked "How can a vegan or vegetarian mother breastfeed her milk would not be of high quality nutritionally." Answer "It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets including total vegetarian or vegan diets are healthful nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Wellplanned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle including pregnancy lactation infancy childhood and adolescence and for athletes." I do have a few questions for you 1 What constitutes the overconsumption of soy? 2 What's healthful about animal fats?

Love the Milk Gone Wild video how is that banned from Superbowl yet Porn stars can have ads? Is goat milk safe for humans? I agree about soy vs anyone with thyroid conditions and on medication. Many green foods like cabbage are bad for those with this condition also.

Soy milk is disgusting. Over consuming soy slows down your thyroid. How can a vegan or vegetarian mother breastfeed her milk would not be of high quality nutritionally particularly as lacking in healthful animal fats.

While cow milk is not acceptable there has to be a middle ground. What's so wrong with rice soy almond and even hemp milks? I'll admit not all can have it soy milk makes my throat close up but seriously there can't be enough milk to supply the world from human mothers for it is extremely painful to harvest it AND YES I KNOW IT'S WORSE TO HARVEST IT FROM COWS so why not just not eat any animalbased products including humanbased products?
