For Sale: Human Breast Milk
Shortly after my sister had her second son, my husband and I went to visit them. My husband drinks a lot of coffee. Early one morning, still bleary-eyed, he reached into the fridge for some half and half .....
It started with a bleary-eyed Google search: “Sell breast milk.” Desiree Espinoza had a 2-month-old baby girl but was pumping out enough milk to feed triplets. Ziplock baggies full of the stuff were crammed in her freezer, and unpaid bills crowded her kitchen table. She wasn’t sure there was a market for her overflow or whether selling it was even legal. A few clicks later, she found herself on a website called Only the Breast.

“There’s no way I could get a job with an infant, so this helps pay for diapers and clothes,” she says. In three months, the 19-year-old college student earned enough to buy a new laptop and the dress she wore to her wedding to the baby’s 22-year-old father, a recent college grad. She plans to continue selling for a year, and if she can pump a steady 30 ounces a day, she could take in about $20,000.
hmm, now that is a surprise.
I wonder if she paid taxes on that income....

I believe that in the interest of Quality Control, a thorough examination of the Production Facilities is warranted. As I have some background in this area, I will be happy to perform the necessary inspections and report back.
