chinese woman bathes her baby in breast milk

And of course the article says it makes the baby's skin white. What is it with this 'white' obsession in Asia?!

It's funny, isn't it? White Americans spend money (tanning beds, sitting out on the beach, fake tanning lotions) to make their skin tone approximately the same as East Asians. East Asians spend money (umbrellas when in the sun, lotions to make their skin whiter) to try to make their skin tone as light as white Americans.

I was once riding a bus with my fiancee in China, when a woman commented quite loudly that she wished her skin was as white as mine.

RE the article, I don't think it's gross or weird at all, and I think it's great she wants to donate her excess milk.

As I understand it, "white" skin is preferred by women because they will appear higher class, as opposed to field workers whose skin is darkened by constant exposure to the sun.

I don't get the "gross" factor with adults drinking human breast milk. No one considers it gross for human babies to drink breast milk, so what changes to make it gross later?

So, it's okay if it came from cows but not humans.

It's never ok. Cow's milk is meant for baby cows, not human consumption.

in that respect, adults of any species were not meant to consume milk.

I want to see the picture of this mother. She probaby have something like FFFFFF size breast.

an asian with large breasts? unlikely.
