Would you drink breast milk if it was commercially available?

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?

all milk comes from breasts

edit: oh, human breasts. no, as i've heard it tastes gross.

That's a fair point lol

But as far as I'm aware when referring to non human breasts we rarely use that word.

Mammary glands, udders, and nipples are the three that pop into my head when thinking about animal titties. Which I'm realizing I'm doing a little too much of recently lmao

i suppose. i don't think about them much.

That depends on how you define breasts. From Wikipedia:

The platypus' mammary glands lack teats, with milk released through pores in the skin. The milk pools in grooves on the mother's abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.

Someone else already beat you to this

It's not great, but that's true of raw milk in general IME.

That’s the other thing: raw. I like the science behind pasteurization. I trust it.

Edit: I also find homogenization to be convenient
