moral imperative of a mother to maximise the health of her offspring. - It is beyond the scope of this essay to develop the conceptualisation of
human or breastmilk as a food, and the ways this attribute has been
occluded in both advocacy and scientific discourse. Nevertheless, the
‘foodiness’ of human milk has been explored by both chefs and artists
