6 Things You Didn't Know About Skim Milk

[robdawg1]

There's no shortage of redneck Libertarians out there who see welfare and disability as an abomination riddled with fraudsters and layabouts.
I don't believe it myself, but I'm sure that if someone were to start a thread saying that it was so, and offering up some shabby hillbilly's blog as 'evidence', you'd pick the holes out of it until it showed for what it was.

ok wait...now are they hillbillies or hippies? those are 2 totally different animals!!!

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

Indeed. The hippies tend hate corporations and profits, the hillbillies tend to think that social welfare is Communism in disguise. If you read carefully, you'll see that the subject matter changed.

 

[robdawg1]

ok, I stand corrected. proceed!

Oh the irony. I'm an asshole for simply pointing out that the source of your information is totally lacking in credibility.
I've also pointed out that other sources are giving balanced information with properly documented scientific argument both for and against the proposition, supported by experts and scholars.

I'm going to have fun dismantling this bimbo's arguments one by one.

1. It was designed to profit off of you, not make you healthy.
Correct!
Well, who would have thought that all of that infrastructure and processing equipment would have been built for charitable purposes? Nobody, it's capitalism101. Except maybe to hippies. Nobody grows food with the sole intention of magically 'making you healthy'. Not even the poseurs in the organics industry.Ever noticed how much more organic food costs?That's because the organic food industry wants profit, just the same as anyone else. Try living on nothing but organic squash...it will make you unhealthy, unless consumed as part of a balanced diet.

It all started with a flawed theory by a really bad scientist who said that saturated fat and cholesterol cause heart disease Is this a structured argument? Does your writer not know how to include facts to back up her story, or is she more experienced in writing elementary school essays?

2. It’s got a mystery ingredient they’re not telling you about.
The 'mystery' ingredient is milk.Seriously.

3. It contains antibiotics, nasty bodily fluids, and GMOs

The first sentence of this paragraph makes little sense.

Water downstream of a factory farm in Idaho, where animals are generally knee-deep in their own waste.​

That's because in Dana's haste co cut/paste and spew all of this nonsense, he left the photo out. to the trained eye, the photo is of a settling pond, where waste water is treated before being dischared. Oddly enough, there's no photographic evidence of animals knee deep in their own waste - More dramatic hippy nonsense.

The next bit - somehow changing from grass to grain necessitates pumping cows full of antibiotics? Guess what....we feed our cows 100% grass, and they still need antibiotics. This woman really needs to go back and learn the facts instead of making shit up. Pretty much every farm animal needs antibiotics care at some stage, as do humans. Antibiotics exist to stop us from dying of minor ailments.

The FDA allows up to 750 million pus cells per liter of milk, to be sold legally.

Lovely line this. I'd love to see where it is written in FDA regulations, but I doubt that they refer to 'pus'. It will most likely be impurities,largely consisting of other organic matter.Technically it could include pus,so let's pretend that the whole impurity content is pus because it sounds so much nastier. Lets also be sure not to highlight the term 'up to'. 750 million in bold lettering looks much more convincing. Also the omission of any reference to pasteurisation as listed in the FDA requirements would allow the gullible to believe that they're being sold bottles of toxic substance.

4. It’s provides almost no nutritional value.
LOL again, no data to back this line up.Here's some that says this silly woman needs to go back to school.

Optimum health:
Weight gain:

The good: This food is low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin B12 and Potassium, and a very good source of Protein, Vitamin D, Riboflavin, Calcium and Phosphorus.

The bad: A large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars.

see the link? it's called 'source'. There's no source data in the hippie's article.

5. It won’t make or keep you skinny.
well duh. even drinking water will not 'make you skinny'. You have to reduce calorie consumption, and exercise, to achieve that.

6. It won’t help you avoid heart disease

Again, no source references to this paragraph, which appears to be written like a children's storybook.


Let's see what the experts

say shall we? I'll even go to a neutral source for you.

It is recommended that for Australians over 2 years old, reduced-fat varieties of dairy foods (including milk) should be chosen where possible, in the Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Where does this pearl of wisdom come from?Some bored housewife's blog? nope.....

Dana, face it mate. This whole pile of crap is a beat-up, designed to appeal to the vanity of those who consider themselves too special for mainstream products. Like every other food product dairy can be bad for you if not used as part of a balanced diet, but that's no reason to start a witch hunt, and a very poorly written witch hunt at that.

I look forward to your next cut paste fiasco.

I tire of your tirade. You just sound like a corporate peon pushing corporate ideals. Oh and I would think you wouldn't be so lazy as to not actually check the link of course there are pictures that were left out. I posted the damn link for a reason. I think the bigger issue in all of this is your deep seated hatred for "the hippy movement" "ooooh no. The hippies want to get rid of over processed chemically engineered food... I'll be out of a job" *whine* *sob* :24:

And so your true colours show through. Your deep seated hatred of corporations.I doubt that I'll ever be out of a job, just as I doubt you'll ever be in one.

 

[robdawg1]

well, this has turned personal! And to think, this started about milk!


sorry gentleman, don't mind me

I'm tired of Dana's silliness. I've systematically debunked the article that he cut/pasted from a position of superior insight,and it's made him pissy.

Anyone would think that the precious wee man had written it himself. He gets rather nasty when he knows he's losing.

 

[darkcgi]

all this bad eating for all of us
because someone wanted more money than they already had

 

[darkcgi]

I'm a sucker sometimes
I didn't think for a second to look into it

 

[Darrell]

I drink whole milk.

*pats stomach*

:24:

Seems to me you give more a fuck about this than me now. I think my job is done.

 

[dancingpotato]

I'll die eventually so I'll drink what and when I please. I also hate milk. :tooth

 

[darkcgi]

I usually drink 2% its easier on the stomach and lasts a little longer than whole
whole tastes the best

 

[Natasha]

Whole milk is too thick for me...I haven't drank whole milk in YEARS. I'm not even a 2 percenter any more...1% for me.

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

Seems to me you give more a fuck about this than me now.

Of course I do. I make my living from helping to make top quality dairy products, you're just cut/pasting defamatory garbage.

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

I think my job is done.

You don't have a job. You have a mission, though.....

5-4-3-2-1... You're on ignore.

Mission........... failed!
