Animal activists organization PETA has asked ice cream mogul Ben and Jerry's to consider altering their recipe to include human breast milk rather than cows milk. Inspired by a Swiss restaurant which includes cuisine featuring human breast milk as a main ingredient, PETA sent a formal letter to the ice cream company's co-founders, offering "an innovative new idea" which would allow "customers--and cows--reap the benefits."
