"Anyone tried this? Apparently this is the next fad in supplements. Real breastmilk that is farmed out of Cambodia.
I'm interested to find out how they milk the breastmilk, it could be something that could catch on for a home-brew supplement (not a meal replacement). If they can create a hand held device, much like the fleshlight, for self milking it would be a big seller.

Considering the shithole the area around the royal palace is, maybe they were stampeding to get out of Phenom Phen as quickly as possible.

Nah, I'm pretty sure breast milk was involved.

"The Associated Press, Reuters and AFP reported that witnesses said 10 people had either collapsed or become unconscious during the festival, triggering the panic."


Either they passed out due to amazingly good breast milk or they realized the breast milk was sold out, and then thousands stampeded out to get milk in other areas.

This should end the stampedes, on both the Cambodian and US sides.

Cambodia breast milk: The debate over mothers selling milk

Quote :
"Some Cambodian mothers have been selling their breast milk to women in the US, in a controversial practice that has now been banned.

But the case has raised questions about whether these women have been exploited, or empowered, by this enterprise.
What happened in Cambodia?

For the past two years, dozens of women have been supplying their excess breast milk to a company called Ambrosia Labs.

The company has been processing and selling the milk in the US. It was marketed at US mothers who have problems producing milk for their babies.

On Tuesday, Cambodia imposed an immediate ban on breast milk exports, effectively ending the business."


Quote :
"Ambrosia had set up shop in Stung Meanchey, an area near the capital Phnom Penh and known for its poverty, and reportedly approached women in the area.

Reports said Ambrosia paid them the equivalent of $0.50 per ounce (£0.40 per 28ml), while selling the milk for eight times that price in the US.

Critics say the practice encourages mothers to sell their breast milk instead of giving it to their own babies."

0EP, I'm no fan of the US media, but it seems like 90% of links you post are from British sites. Do you trust them more?
