New York city chef and new dad Daniel Angerer has intrigued the food world by putting cheese made from his wife's breast milk on the menu at his Klee Brasserie. Angerer's wife supplied two quarts of of breast milk to create small samples of a creation he calls Mommy's Milk cheese. On his blog Angerer says that he got the idea after his daughter was four weeks old and he noticed that they had a surplus of breast milk on hand. His spouse was interested in donating it but in the meantime, with his freezer running out of space, Angerer decided to put some of the excess to good use. He includes a recipe for anyone who wants to do the same. The taste is said to be, like human breast milk itself, a little sweeter than a cow or goat milk version.

I really don't see how this is more disgusting than drinking cows breast milk. In my opinion this is more natural and since it's designed for human consumption, probably better for you and more easily digestible. Interesting!

Well I've heard that breast milk tastes like whatever the mom has eaten, so a lot of garlic will make it somewhat garlicy. And there are hormones in the milk that if consumed a lot could make babies, men, other women all start lactating. And honestly no one should drink milk because after a certian age, around 4 or 5 I believe, your body does not create the enzyme that breaks it down and uses it properly. That is why there are so many people who gradually start becoming intolerant of dairy, because our bodies are not designed to continue drinking it or eating it after the first few years of life. And as for calcium or vit. D there are less fattening ways to get those into your body.For calcium: seaweeds, almonds, sesame seeds, beans, oranges and soy milk just to name a few and for Vit D: sunlight, fish (tuna, salmon,catfish etc), whole eggs, beef livers.
