Milk of human kindness?
Ice cream lovers got a bit churned up last week when it was revealed that human breast milk ice cream had gone on sale at a Covent Garden gelateria called Icecreamists.
Some thought the idea of frozen mama's milk sounded delicious. But others expressed concern over the ethics and health considerations of offering it to adults.
The ice cream, named 'Baby Gaga' ? perhaps for its controversial appeal- was hailed as 'delicious' by consumers and sold out within hours of going on sale for £14 a scoop.
But the wheeze was frozen in its tracks only days ago when health officials from Westminster Council seized the product amid concern that the milk used hadn't been adequately screened.
The future for 'Baby Gaga' is so far unclear, but more than 200 women have offered to put their hands to the breastpump to ensure future stocks.
