I bounced this off with a classmate; she's all 'human-rights', 'save the planet', etc.

Even she thought this was a retarded idea, because the logistics of having chicks produce milk for mass consumption is totally unpractical, but it could also intrude on human rights, and would intrude upon woman's rights.

Essentially, we'd have to have women sit around for eight hours a day lactating. Now, that would get incredibly boring, but the other problem is that essentially, any chick has the ability to produce milk, therefore, wages would be pretty low; even then, it's way easier to maintain a cow than a human, and humans aren't satisfied eating grass all day. There's also likely a chance that possibly debilitating steroids, or hormones would be used.

Most Western women will reject this sort of work, so there would be a good chance that any milk production would be moved overseas, to maybe South America, or wherever wages are low. Instead of empowering the women in those countries to help them become more self-sufficient, women would simply become a commodity to quench the West's thirst for dairy products.

Of course, PETA never seems to give a shit about people anyway. If PETA had their way, Diabetics would essentially all die, or lead severely crippled lives because PETA oppose Insulin production.

Like cows, women only lactate because of pregnancy. Unless we want to see an incredible boom in population (bad!), not just any woman is going to be willing or capable of doing this. The pay won't be minimum wage, and since the volume of milk produced by women is miniscule compared to a cow, you need several women to make what one cow could make. Seeing as you don't pay a cow anything, that automatically is going to drive up the prices severely. Even if this was considerably probable, it's still highly impractical.

whoa.
