If you’re appalled by the idea of human milk in stores, you need to reconsider why you find consuming milk from other animals to be acceptable. It’s weird as fuck. Just because it’s normalized doesn’t make it not weird. It just means you don’t think about it.
Personally, no, and I don’t want to see animal milk in stores either. There are only two logically consistent answers to that and it’s this one or the inverse; yes. I guess the yes could be two reasonable answers of “yes, and…” or “yes, but not animal milk.”
The only answer left is “animal milk is fine, except for humans.” I don’t see how that one is logical. It’s emotional only. Humans are animals, and human milk is the stuff that is actually made for human consumption. Humans can also consent. I don’t see any logical way you could exclude human milk but include other animals.
It is extracted to be used by humans, but it is evolved to be consumed by their babies. The ratios of fat, protein, and sugar are evolutionarily optimized for their baby to consume. Humans decided to drink it too, but that is not why it exists.
How is it worse than force breeding another species, take their child away to steal their milk? I mean, i wouldn’t drink human milk, but i don’t find it so much worse from some other species.
I mean do you want to see human breast milk in stores?

I don’t drink milk, I’m just asking if you want to see it in stores.

cows milk is also made for human consumption. and goat milk. and many others.

evolution has no intent. mammary glands have no intent. humans have intent. what we make something for is its intended use
no, you can say animal milk is fine, and human milk not produced through exploitation is fine.
That’s what I said.
At least the… uhh… vendors could consent.
Nice (?)

Wait was that an option?
