Britain Freezes Sales of Breast Milk Ice Cream
By David Moye - AOL NewsBritish officials have stopped a London ice cream parlor from selling a frozen dairy treat made from human breast milk amid concerns that the unusual dessert may not be safe. The Icecreamists parlor introduced the "Baby Gaga" flavor Feb. 25. The flavor's creator told told AOL Weird News that the ice cream was as much food for thought as actual food. "Some people are turned off by the idea, but, really, it raises the philosophical question: Is it better if we use milk from cows injected with hormones who are artificially induced with pregnancy every few months, or human milk?" Matt O'Connor ...
London Ice Cream Parlor Creates 'Baby Gaga' Flavor From Human Breast Milk
By David Moye - AOL NewsA London ice cream parlor is titillating its customers with a new flavor made from human breast milk.

Sarah Palin: Do We Hear Sighs of Reluctance About 2012?
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyWOODBURY, N.Y. – After weeks in the shadows with only a flicker of Facebook postings, Sarah Palin emerged Thursday for a lucrative and surprisingly revealing question-and-answer session before the Long Island Association, a business group used to hosting former presidents. During an hour in which she was quizzed in a more probing fashion than is often the norm on Fox News, Palin proved that she can create more headlines from a single luncheon than are possible from six months on the Mitt Romney beat. Palin tantalized her audience (who paid $300 and up for the privilege, with a backstage ...
Sarah Palin Calls Breastfeeding Good -- Considering Rising Price of Milk
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailySarah Palin got a laugh out of a crowd of New York business leaders Thursday when she made a reference to Michelle Obama's support for breastfeeding.

"Yeah, you'd better, because the price of milk is so high right now." As the crowd broke into laughter, she added, "And may that not be the takeaway, please, of this ...
Michele Bachmann Slams Michelle Obama Over Breast-Feeding; Does She Have a Point?
By Greg Robillard - AOL NewsShould the U.S. government promote breast-feeding as a way to counter childhood obesity? Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., took a swipe Wednesday at Michelle Obama over the first lady's support of tax breaks to mothers for purchasing breast pumps and nursing supplies. Obama has cited studies that correlate longer breast-feeding with lower rates of childhood obesity, but for Bachmann, such government incentives smack of an all-too-literal "nanny state." "For them, government is the answer to every problem," Bachmann told radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham. "And so government got us in this ...

Breast-Feeding Canadian Moms Create Flash Mob at Mall
By Selena Ross - AOL NewsCanada is up in arms about breast-feeding and whether it's really OK to do it in public. And with the help of blogs and Facebook, angry moms are taking it to the streets -- or to the mall, in this case. About a hundred mothers in Montreal staged a "nurse-in" protest at a downtown shopping complex last week, breast-feeding simultaneously before a curious crowd of reporters, mall security guards and passers-by. The event was retribution, they said, for a store that had thrown out a mother for breast-feeding earlier this month. This week, they began a petition drive to protect the rights of ...
