In a surprising twist at a school bake sale, a mother decided to use her own breast milk in her brownie recipe, leading to a whirlwind of reactions from fellow parents. While many of us have experienced the last-minute scramble to contribute to a bake sale, this mom’s choice has raised eyebrows rather than just the usual questions about what to bake.
According to the anonymous mother, she was short on time and thought, “Why not use my own milk? It’s right here!” She believed that the added nutrition could benefit some of the kids. However, when other parents discovered the ingredient, they expressed outrage. In an attempt to seek advice, she took to Facebook, posting, “I made brownies for my school bake sale that had breast milk in them. I didn’t have time to run to the store, and I didn’t think it was a big deal (some of those kids could use the nutrition, to be honest). One of the other moms found out and is blowing it way out of proportion. Idk what to do!”
The post quickly garnered over 246 comments within half an hour, as it was shared by the Facebook page Sanctimommy. The reactions varied widely, from sarcastic remarks to outright disgust. One commenter humorously remarked, “It’s like I once made lemonade with my urine because I ran out of water. I don’t know why everyone was so upset.” Another chimed in, “I only sneak breast milk into baked goods. My kids are in their 20s now, but I’m not letting go of those nutrients!”
While the notion of using breast milk in brownies sparked debate, many pointed out the health risks involved. The Food and Drug Administration warns that using human milk from unverified sources can expose children to infectious diseases and harmful contaminants. This situation raises serious concerns about the safety of consuming baked goods made with bodily fluids. “It’s gross and bordering on psychotic,” one commenter stated.
