British woman cooks with breast milk

CLIFTON, England, April 22 (UPI) -- A British woman who uses breast milk in food she serves to friends and sells to strangers said she turned to her own milk for its health benefits.

Abi Blake, 30, of Clifton, England, said her breast milk tarts, smoothies, lasagna, cheesecake and other dishes have proven popular with friends, family and customers for their health benefits and better taste, The Sun reported Thursday.

"Although the idea of eating something made out of someone else's breast milk may make some people's stomachs turn, it is full of vitamins that can never be found in cow's milk," Blake said. "I have managed to convert all my family who now adore my breast milk recipes and they all agree it tastes better."

Blake said her breast milk cupcakes have proven popular at multiple food festivals.

"Many customers were intrigued and thought it was a novelty," she said. "But what most people don't know is that breast milk contains nutrients that can help the immune system and even treat cancer. It is such a precious ingredient and if people would only try it, they would discover all its wonderful benefits."

Teen extinguishes dad with Coke

MULLION, England, April 22 (UPI) -- A British 15-year-old is being credited with saving his father's life by using a bottle of Coke to extinguish flames that engulfed him.

Andrew Wythe, 52, of Mullion, England, said he was pouring gasoline on a garden bonfire Sunday when the flames grew to engulf the front of his body, The Sun reported Thursday.

He said he ran toward his son, Nicholas, 15, for help and the teenager grabbed a two liter bottle of Coca-Cola, shook it up and sprayed the contents on his father.

"The fire went out straight away," Wythe said. "He's a very level-headed boy. Without Nicholas it would have been a lot worse, without a doubt. I was lucky really."

Wythe said he suffered burns to his neck, chest and ears and will require skin grafts.

Neighbors complain of donkey smells

GURGAON, India, April 22 (UPI) -- A retired British couple in India say they are being persecuted by neighbors complaining about the donkey sanctuary they created at their home.

Residents of Gurgaon said Bob Harrison, 67, and his wife, Jean, 69, are harming their neighborhood with the smells and sounds from the donkeys on their property, The Daily Telegraph (Britain) reported Thursday.

"The neighbors have complained to the municipal commissioner about the noise and the smell and they say it's attracting the pigs. But there is a leaking sewage pipe at the back of the houses and the pigs love it," Bob Harrison said.

The Harrisons, who said they are trying to find new homes for the four donkeys on their property before they vacation in Britain for the summer, said they believe their neighbors are persecuting them for being British.

The municipal commissioner's office said it is offering the Harrisons a nearby plot of land to build a new donkey shelter away from their neighbors.

Marmite fights far-right party ad

LONDON, April 22 (UPI) -- The manufacturer of food spread Marmite is taking legal action against the far-right British National Party for using a jar of the product in an ad.

A spokesman for Unilever said the company "initiated injunction proceedings" against the BNP to have a jar of Marmite removed from an online advertisement posted to YouTube and to ban the party from using the product in future spots, Marketing magazine reported Thursday.

"It has been brought to our attention that the BNP have included a Marmite jar in a political broadcast, showing currently online, and we want to make it absolutely clear that Marmite did not give the BNP permission to use a pack shot of the product in their broadcast," the spokesman said. "Neither Marmite nor any other Unilever brand are aligned to any political party."

BNP leader Nick Griffin said the ad, which featured Griffin with a jar of Marmite floating in the top left corner of the screen, was retribution for a Marmite campaign featuring a Love Party and a Hate Party as part of its "love it or hate it" campaign.

"Unilever PR men and lawyers are over us like a rash, very upset at our using Marmite in our TV broadcast. They should have thought of that before modeling the one for their Hate Party on us," Griffin wrote on his Facebook. "They'll be even more upset if they push us further and I start eating a jar of Marmite on my next live TV appearance!"
