    I forgive you. Can you explain to me why adult humans don't drink breast milk?

    Because then women would NEVER stop producing it and ain't nobody got time for that.

    It's in the food database, I don't know whether it's in the exercise database as well.

    I can't, some do drink it though. It's a 'thing'. Realistically I suppose it would be against some human rights thing to forceably impregnate women, remove their babies, then milk them in order to produce enough.

    I think she's looking for a way to log the calories burned. If it's in the food database, it'd be calorie in, not out, right?

    Listen you, I got kicked out of class and it was never answered for me. Mr. Hejduk already gave me snark that day, I don't need more :(

    Nah bruh. I drop #truthbombs all day, err day.

    Nope... it gives you a minus figure to account for the calories you burn...

    Theory 2 - Men would be depressed because their moobs can't provide.

    I've heard of males lactating
