Would You Eat Breast Milk Ice Cream?

Recently we told you about an NYU grad student requesting breast milk donations for her human cheese project (yes, she's turning the human milk into cheese). Many of you gagged and disapproved.
Well, leave it to an ice cream shop in London to start selling breast milk ice cream. Icecreamists sells "Baby Gaga," a flavor made with mothers' breast milk, vanilla and lemon zest, for 14 British pounds per serving, or about $22.50.
"It's pure, it's natural, it's organic, and it's free range," said Icecreamists shop founder Matt O'Connor. Women came forward with bottles of milk in response to his internet ad. Since donor human milk runs the risk of carrying infectious diseases, it's screened first to hospital standards. "How could anybody possibly say this is disgusting? If it's good enough for our kids, it's good enough for us," said O'Connor.
Judging by the comments in the breast milk cheese thread, I doubt many of you are ready to dive into a Baby Gaga ice cream sundae anytime soon. Or is breast milk ice cream somehow less disturbing than breast milk cheese? [via NPR]
