Bloomberg Says More Immigrants Are Needed
Chef Daniel Angerer
In a conversation with 1010Wins, Angerer declares the cheese is not sold in his restaurant; they report that "he believes another blogger misquoted his post and rumors spread that the cheese was available to the public." Well, his website does still invite people to try it! Are they going to come over to his house? In his chat with the DoH he recalls they "said that I can't sell any mother's milk cheese or produce it in a restaurant. I said what's the worry, I don't even do that!" And that's not all, he also says the thought of someone else eating the cheese never crossed his mind, saying, "Do you want to have your wife's milk eaten by somebody else, no not really!" But... but...
We've contacted the Health Department and they told us they have spoken with the restaurant and Angerer "knows that cheese made from breast milk is not for public consumption, whether sold or given away. While breast milk is healthy, we recommend it for infants, and any experiments with it as a food ingredient are best left for the home." There is no specific language around breast milk for public consumption in the City’s Health Code, but they tell us "Mother’s milk is a 'tissue' per Public Health Law 4360(10)." Their exact language is after the jump.
Would you try the cheese? Hoda and Kathie Lee wouldn't touch it on the Today Show this morning!

Fucking gross.
Human milk would be healthier than cow milk. Human milk contains 5% of calories as protein while cow milk contains 15% of calories of protein. Nature seems to be telling us that little babies, whose bodies are growing the fastest they will ever grow in their life, and whose protein needs are thereafter at a maximum, are best served by the very modest level of 5% protein.
African Bantu women take in only 350 mg of calcium per day. They bear 9 children during their lifetime and breast feed them for 2 years. They never have calcium deficiency, seldom break a bone, rarely lose a tooth. They are on a low-protein diet that doesn't kick the calcium out of the body. The dairy industry has said that the Bantus' far higher bone densities on much lower calcium intakes may be due to genetic factors. But genetic relatives of the Bantus living in the United States, and eating the standard american diet style, have levels of osteroporosis that equal those of their white neighbors.
Eskimos have the highest dietary calcium intake of any people in the world and they diet is high in protein and they have one of the highest rates of osteoporosis in the world.

I just don't think it's a good idea:
"HIV and other serious infectious diseases can be transmitted through breast milk," according to the CDC.
Also, it is thought that MRSA can be transmitted through breast milk.
Even if the chances are low, that just seems nasty.
No thanks.
And yeah, cow milk seems kind of nasty too, but at least it is pasteurized.
hmm...he wonders it if was "ethnical"
he didn't know if it was ethical, but he has duck and pig on the menu.
and octopus
I guess breast milk is the topic du jour?
This was gross the first time I read it and it's still gross now. Sorry -- no rational explanations available. It's just gross.
P.S. Did I mention it's gross?
this guy certainly is gross ... with his thinking that it's ok to kill and eat lobster, octopus, duck, pig, etc. and i'm sure that jacket he's wearing is real cow skin. i mean, after looking at his menu,i doubt it's faux. peace my ass.
Mmmmm... lobster, octopus, duck, pig, etc. [Homer Simpson drool]
Hey, did you guys ever know that one delicacy in Chinese cuisine is a soup made with the saliva of a bird species? That the natural casings of many sausages are actually intestines? That when you eat a shrimp that hasn't been de-veined, you're eating its entrails and any excrement still remaining inside when it died? If you knew the truth about most of the stuff you ate, you'd starve. Stop being so squeamish.
It is highly ethical to kill other species to nourish ours. It's called survival. I don't understand how people can say it's ok animals eat other animals, but it's not ok for humans to do it. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me.
you sound warped to me
Well, I am, but that doesn't make me a bad person, just different.
