actually yes
I suppose you'd rather eat human than animal meat?

Are you saying that breast feeding is bad thing?

(Bazongaloid, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:24, Reply)

nope its a great thing
Its also a mother-child bonding thing as well. Its appropriate for a child to drink, but non_related people would be seriously fucking odd. And the meat argument is not specious
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:29, Reply)

It is.
Eating your own species leads to unpleasant diseases, such as BSE and whatever the sheep thing is called, drinking the milk of your own species does not cause these problems.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:33, Reply)

then why is it not general practice?
I'm no espouser of following taboo, its a tribal remnant that has no place in society, but the fact remains that it hasn't been part of any culture I can think of to drink anothers breastmilk. I'm not saying its wrong, I'm saying I personally have a problem with the idea_ and its a problem many would have
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:39, Reply)

You are saying it's wrong!
You just said, anyone eating breast milk products from someone they aren't related too is really odd. That cannot be interpreted in any way other than you thinking it's wrong.

It may not be your cup of tea, but no-ones forcing it on you, if people want to do it, there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Just because something isn't wrong doesn't mean it ought to be general practice. There is nothing wrong with people getting their kicks from wearing leather, but it doesn't mean everyone has to do it.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:43, Reply)

some people should never be allowed to wear leather
it just looks wrong, like the queen talking dirty or something.

i said it was odd not wrong!
You can actually dislike something and not think it's wrong you know. I dislike mormons but I don't think they're 'wrong'm I'm not saying people can't stuff their face with breastmilk cheese, or that they shouldn't, I was explaining why I think it is odd (not WRONG)

But cannibalism has been a part of numerous cultures.
I don't quite know where I'm going with this.

Papua New Guinea perhaps.

Erm, that's called cannibalism
look it up in in a thing called a, dic-tion-ary, and it has precisely 'fuck all' to do with the discussion at hand.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:29, Reply)

i disagree
it's a by-product of the human body, no?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:29, Reply)

Yes, all mammal babies are cannibals, you are correct
Milk is produced by a lactating mother to provide sustenance for their offspring, a completely natural process. Eating the flesh of your own species is not a natural process.

Drinking milk from cows unnaturally bred to produce far more milk than they ever would 'in the wild' then pumped full of antibiotics, and whatever the fuck else, is brilliant though, and completely natural!

human titcheese is wrong and i reckon if you had a slice of it right now on a ryvita you'd be hurling!

really?
After they're dead it hardly matters does it? Eating breastmilk products when you're not related to the producer is really odd.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:32, Reply)

Odd, vile, disgusting, frowned upon by our ridiculous society, all these things
Fuck, even mothers feeding their babies in public get a hard time these days.

So your saying the titcheese would be OK, if it was from one of your relations? Make you mind up.

Perhaps.
Not raw though, or from the source. It is a great source of vitamins and minerals, perfect for the new mother who needs to start breastfeeding right away. Probably better for you than most hospital meals I would imagine.

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 17:02, Reply)

yeah
I'm totally saying public breastfeeding is wrong. Nice extrapolation there. Wrong but nice.

I'm allowed to be disgusted if I want. If I told someone they were wrong or tried to force them not to *I* would be in the wrong. But I'm not, I'm holding a valid and perfectly reasonable opinion thanks
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:51, Reply)

How on earth is anyone supposed to take you saying "You're seriously fucking odd" and "that is absolutely vile And makes me feel a little sick"
in any way other than that you think what they are doing is wrong.

I don't have a problem with you saying "I wouldn't like to do this" but you're saying the whole concept is wrong, when it's just a case of horses for courses.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 16:54, Reply)

because thats how I feel about it
And actually oddly enough I'm allowed to have that opinion. It's not wrong. Yeah there is a difference actually between thinking something is distasteful and thinking it is wrong. Its an issue that obviously you feel strongly on. Well you're going to have to run the risk of someone actually having a different opinion on this one. The difference in feeling between those married and/or with children, and those who aren't is quite striking on this

agreed

( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 22 Oct 2010, 17:07, Reply)

I used the breastfeeding thing simply to illustrate the general revulsion people have with it
We are ALL holding valid opinions, some more reasonable than others though.

Isn't this what a wet nurse does?
I think it's still done in many developing countries. Salma Hayek was in the news last year for nursing a baby in Sierra Leone.
