Got Chicken Milk? I've just heard some really exciting news. Because cow's milk causes allergic reactions in so many babies (and adults), Thailand scientist Dr. Pipop has spent the past 10 years working on an alternative. Are you ready? Are you excited? Drum roll please ... It's chicken's milk! Yummy! But before you start envisioning lactating chickens, let me be clear: This is even more disgusting than it sounds! Basically, Dr. Pipop takes chicken meat and grinds it into a thick yellowish paste that is stored in tins. Parents then buy the tin and dilute the chicken paste with water and feed it to their babies in bottles. Think canned dog food – but white! And the benefits? Well, chicken allergies are rare, so I guess that's a plus. Never mind that ground chicken meat, nutritionally speaking, is NOTHING like mother's milk. It IS high in protein and low in carbs, and it's never too early to start a kid on a high protein diet. (I’m joking!) It's hard for me to believe this is real, but it is. After melamine (a type of plastic) was found in thousands of baby formulas manufactured in China (and after at least 2 dozen babies died because of it), people have been scared to buy processed baby foods. I'm scared of processed foods too, but I'm not drinking chicken milk or feeding it to my kid anytime soon. From weird to weirder... Stay bendy, Lucas Note: The good folks at the FTC require me to disclose that I am an affiliate of the companies that manufacture and market the anti aging products you will find on this website, and that these companies will compensate me if you buy any of these products. - Dave Tishendorf |
