N.Y. Chef Earns Fans, Critics With Cheese Made From Human Breast Milk

Excerpt from the article;

"We realized we were going to have to throw a lot of it out, pour this liquid gold down the drain, and we were not going to do that," Angerer said. "So, me being a chef, we said, 'Hey, let's make some cheese!'"

I am so glad to hear other people calling it liquid gold. That just makes me smile. A critic said,

"Consumption of breast milk could unknowingly expose consumers to infectious diseases like hepatitis and HIV," FoxNews.com Managing Health Editor, Dr. Manny Alvarez wrote in the Fox News Health Blog.

Personally, I don't see any reason why consuming cheese made from milk that comes from a woman would be any more potentially harmful than consuming cheese made from milk that comes from a cow or goat or yak. Sounds to me like this woman has a better diet than most dairy cows anyway. lol

Would I eat it? I might. It would depend I guess on who it was coming from and how adventuresome I was feeling at the time. Risky? Possibly by some stretch of the imagination I suppose, but so is eating blow fish. Yet thrill seekers and culinary enthusiasts continue to seek it out for the adrenaline rush and the bragging rights. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind at all being counted among those who are able to brag about sampling gourmet breast-milk cheese. Will I ever be in the situation where I could if I wanted? Probably not, but I personally see no reason to think any less of those who have, in fact I applaud their open-minded-ness.
