Well, yes, since we already do that. And human milk is at least from our species.
I personally think that would be very weird, but less weird than drinking the breast milk of other species.
I’ll refer you to another response from this wonderfully lively thread:
"“What do you like to drink?”
“Milk.”
“What’s that?”
“This breast juice from other animals. It’s super healthy for the percentage of our population that can digest it.”
“Oh…Why from other animals?”
“Well, we’re not going to drink human breast milk, that would be gross. I mean, we give it to babies. Cow and goat lactation, though, that’s for grown-ups.”"
Fair enough. Like the other commenter said in response, it’s good to remember that weird doesn’t mean bad, but you’re not wrong, it is pretty weird lol. The world is a goofy place :)
Agreed, there are tons of weird and goofy things everywhere. They don’t bother me, but I notice and appreciate them.
Drinking milk from other species is just one of the most common weird ones and one that I don’t think we examine fundamentally often enough haha. Plus I always think it’s funny.
I always think of that. Tom Green skit where he drank milk straight from the udder of a cow and the ostensible joke is like look how crazy this guy is that he’s willing to drink milk straight from the cow!
But that’s basically what everybody is doing, in my head anyway whenever I see someone drinking milk. It’s fun up there, in my head.
Not dissing your argument at all, but my first thought was of babies eating little pieces of human flesh and it made me giggle. Well now that I wrote I down it just sounds freaky, but in my head it sounded silly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re trying to make it seem like drinking milk is weird because it comes from an animal other than humans. But nearly all the food anyone eats comes from something that’s not a human.
You’re also ignoring one of the big reasons we don’t drink human milk for longer - most human mothers stop producing milk after a certain length of time, whereas cows and goats and the like produce it more regularly, for longer periods of time.
You only think they don’t because we force-impregnate the eugenics cows to be pregnant and lactating all the time. When they have their babies, the baby is taken away immediately and the cow is force-impregnated again 6 weeks later. After a few years, the cow is killed and becomes deli meat.
That is a strange horror show you are cheerleading for as “normal”.
Also, stop pretending I’m saying things I’m not. It didn’t work for the others and it won’t work for you.
Are you saying it’d be less weird to glug down human milk?

You could make a similar argument as to why we eat animal meat instead of human meat and it would be just as stupid.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
Go on?
You’re trying to make it seem like drinking milk is weird because it comes from an animal other than humans. But nearly all the food anyone eats comes from something that’s not a human.
You’re also ignoring one of the big reasons we don’t drink human milk for longer - most human mothers stop producing milk after a certain length of time, whereas cows and goats and the like produce it more regularly, for longer periods of time.
Cows also stop producing milk naturally.
You only think they don’t because we force-impregnate the eugenics cows to be pregnant and lactating all the time. When they have their babies, the baby is taken away immediately and the cow is force-impregnated again 6 weeks later. After a few years, the cow is killed and becomes deli meat.
