PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.

And the suffering of nursing mothers and their babies? Ah, never you mind, the dairy cows will be better off.

In a statement Ben and Jerry's said, "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child."

An earlier draft included the phrases, "not to mention, that's just gross" and "ew, ew, ew!"
