The more I think about the  commercialization of human milk, the more I can 
see what is coming ..... the  imagination is off and running!  First the 
hospitals.  Then the  grocery stores.  "Organic canned human milk from REAL WOMEN!"  
Do  you want 20, 22, 24, 26 cal? Baby fussy -- no problem -- we'll  provide 
lactose free human milk.  Then dairy free human milk.   (That oughta be 
interesting).   There will probably be several  companies competing.  "OUR human milk 
now with REAL long-chain  polyunsaturated fatty acids."
 
Perhaps even a plug  for -- "Our milk comes from Norway, Denmark, Sweden and 
Finland where  the DHA and ARA levels are higher.  You'll have smarter babies 
when you buy  our specially prepared human milk directly from Scandinavia.   
"Scandelac -- because your baby deserves nothing but the  best."  
 
Actually babies deserve nothing  but the breast, but that's another post.   

 
"It is a well known fact that  mothers should breastfeed their babies, but 
when they can't, or they don't have  enough, or it's inconvenient, or they are 
out in public -- give your baby the  BEST -- our human milk -- produced by 
Lactlike!"  (Less expensive than  Scandelac because it is produced right here in 
the U S of A.  Buy  American!!)
 
"Are you a vegetarian?  Not to worry!  OUR human milk is derived  only from 
women that don't eat meat.  Get your Vegelact here!"
 
The possibilities are endless.
 
That would give Ross, Mead  Johnson, Nestle et al a run for their money, 
wouldn't  it?
 
No longer would mothers have to  pump and bottle feed -- they could go to the 
local Safeway and get the Real Deal  in a can.  No longer do they have to 
worry about that glass of wine at  dinner or taking that antibiotic.  
 
And if they wanted to do something  as old fashioned as actual BREASTfeeding 
-- well, if there are any problems --  no worries, be happy!  Canned human 
milk.....at your local White Hen  Pantry.
 
Coming next to a farm near you --  our contented Gestacows -- so you don't 
have to worry about ruining your figure  or go through the pain of labor and 
birth.....
 
:>D
 
Jan -- with tongue planted firmly  in cheek -- and who has definitely had way 
too much coffee this  morning.
