Swiss Restaurant to Feature Dishes Made With Human Breast Milk

skitched-20080917-170953.jpgHuman breast milk is coming to the menu of a Swiss restaurant, The Guardian reports. Owner Hans Locher explains why:

“We have all been raised on it. Why should we not include it into our diet?”

Mr Locher attracted the attention of the leading media of the German-speaking world this week after he posted ads looking for women donors, who will receive just over three pounds for 14 ounces of their milk.

He said: “I first experimented with breast milk when my daughter was born.

“One can cook really delicious things with it. However, it always needs to be mixed with a bit of whipped cream, in order to keep the consistency.”

Yuck. I’ll pass, thank you. Though I am disgusted, I’m also heartened that Swiss regulations seem to permit a kook cook like Locher to whip up any sort of food he’d like, so long as it isn’t going to kill anyone and (creepy) customers might want to partake.

  • Breast milk can contain transmittable diseases. it's not exactly the safest and most sanitary thing. I mean, who are they going to get to donate breast milk anyways? it's other ppl's body fluids. that's pretty disgusting. we're used to milk. just keep it that way.

    I suppose for the same reason that eating human flesh is unthinkable but we eat cow flesh all the time.
  • For the sake of argument, why is consuming human breast milk more disgusting than, say, HUMANS DRINKING COW MILK?
