Cheap Similac Human Milk?

Facebook CyberMondayOffer - note title, "Cheap Similac Human Milk"
Apparently in the US you can purchase your own "human" milk fortifier - who knew? I thought it was only given out in hospitals to very low birth weight preemies. Here we see it marketed on a Facebook page called "CyberMondayOffer" as "Cheap Similac Human Milk."

Let's figure out an appropriate name and petition our relevant government entities for truth in packaging and labelling. What should it be called?
