I dunno how I'd feel about human milk in ice cream, but I'm more than willing to take it straight from the tap.

uhhh...no. They best not show up in any of my biker bars.

This won't be achieved overnight.
For one thing, dairy cows have been bred for milking capacity. They are also immobilized and pumped full of antibiotics and hormones to keep them producing large amounts of milk daily.
The change over will require some time. We will need to breed females for milking capacity and arrange for them to be immobilized and pumped full of antibiotics and hormones. We will also need to set up a system for the removal of their nursing young since we will want the milk for ourselves. Perhaps we can find an economic purpose for keeping them around.
The human rights questions (not to mention constitutional questions) surrounding this plan are complex. We will likely have to keep doing these things to cows until we get the human system up and running.

All I can say is that, for the first time, I'm glad I'm lactose intolerant.

You'd think the PETA folks would recruit these guys
for their newest publicity campaign...

Although I'm surprised they aren't protesting
Chik Fil A's labor practices instead.

On the plus side, they wouldn't have to show up at very many before the issue got resolved once and for all...

I tried my wife's milk years ago. It was not too good.
And no it was not chocolate
