[lbo-talk] Breast milk ice cream...

[Joseph Catron]

Oh, and to echo Miles: It's not that we "could not see commodification or
exploitation," but rather that we can't imagine why one would expect to find
anything else. Yes, capitalism commodifies and exploits everything (and if
I'm looking for the most egregious example of this within the category of
human bodily fluids alone, I'll be most likely to settle on blood plasma).
What in God's name is the point?
