Is human milk a dairy product?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Human milk certainly contains Lactose and Whey Protein.

I just gave you a pretty succinct definition of Dairy. Yes.

Google shows conflicting answers and the Wikipedia page doesn't list human milk.

And we all know how trustworthy Google Search is...

Not actually using Google, just using it as a generic term for search.

Well if you go by FDA's Title 21 Chapter I Subchapter B Part 131 Subpart B then not only is human milk not a dairy product but the only animal who produces milk is a cow, however in 2018 they requested submissions weighing in on whether plant products should continue to use "dairy group" words such as milk and yogurt on their labeling, so I think there is probably some leeway on this.

Some kids are gonna go hungry, no goats milk for ewes.

Yes, but it's pretty difficult to buy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also... Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.

There's apparently also breastmilk ice-cream!

Also, beware the diseases. Milk can spread virus AFAIK.
