Is It Possible To Make Cheese From Human Breast Milk?

Is it possible to make cheese from human breast milk? It kinda sucks to have to eat cheese knowing the milk inside came from another animal. The thought is gross, we should use our own resources. =)

Yes, its only milk after all. I did wonder if I could make yoghurt out of it once for my baby when I started to wean her, but did not think about cheese.
Apres Vous – I know you were kidding, but actually (unlike cows) you do not need to keep impregnating humans in order to stop them from ‘drying up’ we can keep going for as many years as necessary, drying up is actually a fallacy, with human breasts it is supply and demand, as long as the demand is there, they will keep supplying, you don’t make a prescribed amount or have to wait for them to ‘fill’, if the baby (or pump) ask for it it comes. Our milk only dries up once the baby stops demanding it – so yes that awful ‘bitty’ sketch on Little Britain would actually be physically possibly.
In the UK we are a lot more open about these things than in the USA, attitudes over there really seem to be rather squeamish about breast milk and breastfeeding.
Yes you can make cheese from any mammal milk.
This is sort of a metaphor for real cow dairy farms:
Some cheeses would require you to coagulate it with rennet which means you would have to kill the woman’s child (if you follow standard dairy farm practices) to harvest the rennet bacteria from the child’s (calf’s) stomach.
If you drank milk from a human woman you would have to have her strapped up and hooked up to the pump nearly all day. Since the human would “dry up” eventually, you would have to impregnate her so that she will start producing milk again. Once the child is born you can do anything you want to it. Most people sell it for meat (for calves it’s veal). The human will only live to be half as old as is normal because of all the stress on her body.
Yes, it’s disgusting. We are the only species on the planet that drinks milk after the weaning stage, and we are also the only species who drinks it from another species. And it’s not even necessary for human health!!
I do not know why you would try that is kind of weird to do. just think tho it would make more jobs here in the USA
but we would be over populated at least we eat the animals that are produced or something else eats it so the over population is not their
Yes you can but you need a fair amount of milk before you would have enough cheese that would be worth your effort.
Theoretically it is possible.
Just another sick idea some nutjob will try after reading this .
I’m positive it has been done plenty b-4
uugh!! lol, funny question. Years ago I remember hearing about some woman in Europe who was trying to sell her breast milk to anyone who wanted it!! That is so wrong.
Yeah but would you wanna eat it is the next question lol
