1/29 Makes you wonder about china: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/2702123.stm \_ we have been eating breast-milk-fed pigs for eons, along with other thing which I don't dare to touch myself. Eating is a cutural thing, don't look at it in any other perverted way. \_ Really? That's news to me. By "breast-milk-fed" do you mean "human-breast-milk-fed"? \_ Yes, we Chinese eat (or used to eat) all kinds of weird things: pork/cow brains, pork/chicken blood, insects, monkey brains (without killing the monkey first!), cats, dogs, rats, penes and testes, and now human breast milk. \_ I vaguely remember a story about someone in China setting up a store to "sell fresh breast milk" by letting people drink directly from the breasts. And then the place got cracked down because it was in effect a brothel. |
