    I stopped drinking milk the day I learned that the FDA has a limit on the amount of puss from a burst udder blister, and it’s not 0%.

      The FDA also has a non-zero limit on insects in most foods, so you’re better off just growing and raising your own produce and animals.

        See that doesn’t bother me as much. I’m a Boy Scout. Bugs and soil get in your food. So be it. I’m not ok with machine-milking cows until their udders begin to repeatedly blister and pop onto the milk.

        Which will also have some amount of insects in them if grown outside, cause there are some things you just can’t control

        Yeah, homegrown pus, rat shit and insect parts are much better! And who wants pasteurized milk anyway, listeria builds character
