China: Human breast milk on your coco-pops anyone?

An article in today's South China Morning Post took my eye.

Following on from the (awful) on-going melamine-in-the-milk scandal, several lactating mothers in China are reportedly selling their surplus breast milk for RMB300 a bottle (about twenty quid - quite a lot of money).

I thought it was quite a) altruistic and b) enterprising of them - but much derision in the local press.

The melamine-tainted milk has now been found in Hong Kong ... for instance in the cold-coffee drinks (e.g. "Mr. Browns") - popularly sold from street-corner vendor machines. I buy one or two cans of these a week - no more, I can assure you ... and bet same goes for most other HK residents. Wonder how long it'll take to bring this brand back up to popularity. I recall glass-in-farley's rusk (can you still get these rusks?) and poison gas in Perrier scandals (I think the latter was a French ruse to get the-then English owners to hand it all back to the locals).
