This question popped into my head after an ADHD moment of deconstructing the concept that humans willingly drink cow milk on an industrial scale. Would you drink milk if it was human women pumping the milk themselves?

You can buy breast milk in America.

I would rather get it straight from the jugs instead of out of a jug.

“Karen, I’m sorry, but I’d like to ask for my money back. This milk is so bitter…”

I’m picturing women in every work kitchen with their tits out and some tap-like contraption attached to each breast, just sitting there idling next to the coffee machine.

Office wet nurse could be a post-boobie sexualization side gig. Glorious or dystopian future, you decide.

I would, but I also think this would turn bad as soon as this was a big commercially available thing.The people pumping would probably be exploited to the point their kids actually needing the milk would get less.

Wet-nursing is a thing. Most probably, they’ll use hormones to induce lactation in willing women. The question is output.

I tasted it when my wife was pregnant. Not disgusting, but not something I’d go out of my way for.

I tried it before after becoming a parent: It’s not very good, so no.

I wouldn’t buy it, but if that industry needs people to help with the milking part I might be available.
