Those crazy kids at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are always coming up with so-insane-they-might-just-work schemes to save the creatures of the universe. Since many involve nude protesting, we can't help but support them. Their most recent idea, however, is much, much harder to get behind.

PETA has asked the makers of Ben & Jerry's ice cream to replace the cow milk used in the company's ice cream with human breast milk.

"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman says. "Everyone knows that 'the breast is best,' so Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk."

As much as we agree that "the breast is best," we're having trouble imagining an assembly line of lactating ladies making our Chunky Monkey.

Question Raised: Would you eat ice cream made from human breast milk?

PETA's penchant for protesting naked makes us glad for the First Amendment. See 58 reasons why in the gallery below.
