Life is Good especially if you like Breast Milk

Or so I think. I mean I sleep, I eat, I purr in the sunshine, play on the grass and know that life, or at least my life is good. But as you know I do pay attention to what goes on in the world. And I have to admit I certainly am questioning this bit of wisdom that I heard on the radio. Apparently there is a restaurant somewhere in Europe that serves meals made with human breast milk. Then as I paid attention I heard that some lady on the radio was actually trying to get Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream to make breast milk ice cream. She seemed to think that if we used human breast milk that it would be better for the poor cows that have to give milk everyday in order for us to have ICE CREAM. Now I like ice cream like the rest of my feline friends, but I actually have to question the wisdom of this statement. If she feels that the cows are in slavery producing milk for us, then what does she think that will do to women? As a female cat (and a Princess as well) I would question whether this would help women and give cows a much needed break. But lets think about this for a moment. If cows didn't have to give milk, would farmers still want them? Would they kindly put them out to pasture to enjoy life? And would women have to be kept in a state where they would have to be pregnant and have a baby in order to keep on producing breast milk for ICE CREAM? And pray tell me, which women would be willing to do this? The rich women? The middle class soccer mom? The poor women in third world countries? Well you can guess an answer. I already have my thought, but I am ready for another catnap. Talk to you tomorrow.
