"THE OTHER WHITE MILK" - THE ONLY VEGAN ANIMAL FOOD PRODUCT ?
FEBRUARY 4, 2007 2:42 PM

Here is yet another reason to not support the pork industry and not eat dead pigs.

Of course, they inhumanely raise and kill baby and young adult pigs -- who are smarter than dogs, if that makes a difference -- for the mere pleasure of eating their dead bodies.



But this is something new: a clever and creative woman runs a pro-breast feeding site called "The Lactivist" page, which is dedicated to "Supporting Breastfeeding in Public, Extended Breastfeeding and Breast Milk Bank Donations." (If you don't know that breast milk is the best food for babies, read up here and pretty much any other source that's not sponsored by baby formula companies). To raise some funds for her important cause, she makes some cool T-shirts. Anyway, she used to have a shirt that said "The Other White Milk." But she recently got a cease and desist order for producing this shirt from the National Pork Board claiming that violates their trademark on the phrase "the other white meat." They claim that her "use of this slogan also tarnishes the good reputation [WHAT?!?!] of the National Pork Board's mark in light of your apparent attempt to promote the use of breastmilk beyond merely for infant consumption, such as with the following slogans on your website in close proximity to the slogan "The Other White Milk." "Dairy Diva," "Nursing, Nature's Own Breast Enhancement," "Eat at Mom's, fast-fresh-from the breast," and "My Milk is the Breast."

We already knew the Pork Board was pretty darn bad , but this is certainly a different kind of low. But for the details on this interesting story, see here.

I'm sure some people (I think maybe even this woman) say that pork should be boycotted because of this, but since pork should be boycotted anyway, I won't say that.
