Well, yeah, but it's not like drinking the milk of a cow makes any more sense!

I think you've got this part backwards. Cows have been producing milk for humans for millennia, but that doesn't mean it makes sense. And if adults insist on consuming something more appropriate for infants, why not at least get it from the right species?

I obviously have no idea how the production of milk compares with wage labor as a means of extracting money from the capitalists. But what's shocking about someone doing one rather than the other?
