So drinking a real-world cow's milk is ok, but drinking a Zootopia cow's milk would not be ok because... the Zootopia cow is presumably a full member of society who earns a living by consensually being milked?
It would be a little strange to eat ice cream from consensually milked women tbh
Well then you definitely don't wanna google that.
OK I'll add that to the list of things I'll never google.
You should live a little and Google it ;)
Why?
If the women are fine with it, get a wage from it and can quit any time they choose to, where is the problem?
And just to add to the pile: humans can lactate without the need for pregnancy - even males - and some women can develop a condition called hyperlactation where the body goes full throttle on producing milk, beyond any needs of an infant. And never stop, in very extreme cases.
Sounds a good deal more sustainable and fair than cows milk and a heck lot more efficient than milking trees.
Maybe I'm being cynical but I think humans would find a way to exploit this market and make women suffer, just like we can do with cattle.
Inject women with hormones to make them produce more milk is an example I can think of.
This is why we need a strong, massive milkers union
Do you mean milk producers union?
Because the milkers would be those paying for the milk to resell it.
No the milkers are the titties, they were trying to be clever.
Allow me to be dumb, then.
No it was a stretch, I'll let this one pass
Thank you. Very courteous of you.
No I'm talking about some serious mommy milkers
No kinky business
To my knowledge, the use of hormones in milk cattle is banned. And hormones in humans have severe life lasting side effects.
Not having hormones has pretty severe effects. Women who've gone through menopause (or had ovaries removed) and don't produce hormones often get prescribed hormones to prevent things like osteoporosis. Men with low testosterone get prescribed it. Children who don't produce hormones don't go through puberty--in the past, they castrated boys with pretty voices so they'd never have their voice break, and that had severe health consequences on the boys turned into eunuchs.
I'm saying all of this because when it comes to "hormones", you kinda have to be specific. You can't just throw it out there like, "oOooOO! Hormones! Scary!" Otherwise you get into a realm similar to how people hear "dihydrogen monoxide" and don't make the connection between the "scary science word" and the fact that dihydrogen monoxide is water and is necessary for life.
Sometimes I really hate the english language...
Back there, when I mention hormones, it is implied it is non necessary for the normal functioning of the organism.
In my language, using the word "hormones" in a conversation immediatly carries the meaning it is something artificially added, like hormone therapy for menopausal women or hormone therapy for transgender individuals or even for people with thyroid problems.
If they pay hazard pay and people willingly contribute, what’s the issue?
At first glance, none.
But then "willingness" and "money" rarely mix well. Yeah, there are humans "willing" to be paid for their plasma but it's a marginalized part of the population trying to have just enough money to survive.
I'm sorry. I'm trying not to ruin the meme any further.
People donate blood, plasma, sperm and breast milk from all walks of life already. Some get paid too.
If you want it to be about a particular group in can be, but even well off people donate/get money for their bodily fluids.
I once went to an ice cream fair where local women had collected their breast milk to make a breast milk ice cream. It was actually delicious
I think you just awakened something in me
Strangely, there exist those who would find it to be the furthest thing from strange, jsyk
So a few years a go, an old friend i was visiting asked if i wanted cream in my coffee. She checked the upstairs fridge, then went downstairs and came back with glass of milk. Halfway through my coffee i started to wonder why she was hiding a grin. Yes, she had a three month old.
That’s really fucked up to do to someone without telling them
But from a non consusual women is fine. Gotcha.
Not exactly lol I was thinking from a consensually milked livestock but it’s all a little weird sounding isn’t it? Lol
Google "hucows"
That’s gonna be a no from me dawg lmao
Only a little strange?
Your right, we need to start selling breast milk.
Homelander has entered the chat.
We already do that
And in ice cream form as well
What?
Baby Gaga ice cream seems to have run into legal trouble so I’m not sure if it’s still around but you can look at fansly
The nice thing about the official company is that they tested it
We already do sell breast milk.
His right, your left?
I've had human breast milk ice cream. it was ok..
It's probably not considered weird in their society. Just another job.
