I have alot of important things to say

Omg, I just did some math real quick.....

... if you have 23m+ posts....
....and let's say for argument sake you spend a mere 10s on each post....
....that means......
....you've spent a total of...

around 2660 full 24-hour days,

or

7.2 entire years of your life (on the conservative end)

posting on this forum?!?



Unless you've somehow hacked the system?

Or unless I can't do math to save my life.

I reckon Arizona has 48-h days. That might do the trick.

The obvious answer here is that BG has only been on the forum for 5 years. It's pretty hard to spend 7.2 years over the span of 5 years.

Just means that he's spent less than 10 seconds on each post.

no u!

Look guys and girls I have already posted the answer.

[Shagbag The Wizard]

Well, Goat. I must naturally conclude....either you have admirable dedication or some kind of severe psychosis.

Either way, I find myself inevitably wondering what % of the server space is being used to store your 23m+ posts.

This also leads me to other questions like......where is this forum being hosted / who is paying etc.

Ofc now I'm just hijacking the thread. Sorry guys.

actually it's both

hehe quite alot when you factor in threads like this...

Lol, did you just copy/paste that whole thing from google? Why not just link to it?


(Well, we are so far from discussing unpasteurised milk, I must apologise to everyone....)

[Creepy-male]

I don't understand how "Unpasteurized milk" gets 52 posts while during the same time a thread like "What are your hobbies" gets only 14.

Apparently people are more enthusiastic towards a topic about dairy products than they are about talking about their hobbies, lol.

[Shagbag The Wizard]

Health is far more important than hobbies, lol.

[Beautiful sky]

It's very healthy for you but be careful of the bacteria over growth.

[Shagbag The Wizard]

Lol, Maritsa....you're a doctor now too, apparently. -_-

I'm not particularly interested in discussing my hobbies over the internet, or at least, over the internet here.

But then, eating and drinking are one of my hobbies, so perhaps this is just a double hit thread.

Lol, yum?

Possibly, i'd imagine it would go OK with Weetabix, probably orange juice would be OK too, something different.

Apple juice would go with something like fruit and fibre, i'd imagine.

[Eldanen]

I drink goat's milk. Your argument is invalid.

[Shagbag The Wizard]

Are you talking about fermented goat's milk? (Kefir I think it's called). Apparently that stuff is great as far as health is concerned......full of probiotics. I've been meaning to try it, but.......ah...........it's a GOAT....

[Beautiful sky]

Lol, Maritsa....you're a doctor now too, apparently. -_-

I was studying to become one but my empathy for both people and animals over whelmed me and I could not stand to be in the same room with either people or animals suffering.

[Slacker]

We're drinking it now and no one has gotten sick. The rules are so strict that they are constantly testing this milk. It's probably the cleanest food that comes in the house. Most food in the US isn't well regulated at all.

No, I'm talking about regular goat's milk, although not the reduced fat kind.

[Shagbag The Wizard]

Hmm. So instead of helping them you would rather flee and leave them to their suffering. I see.

I think you might be mistaking apathy for empathy. I would not expect true EIIs to be so misanthropic.

[Slacker]

You can make kefir out of either unpasteurized goat's milk or cow's milk, but you need kefir grains to do it.

[Codie]

Bump this... Next yr, i'm giving up regular dairy milk products all together.. calcium? overrated, and I can get enough from greens & almonds etc. I was lucky enough to breastfeed until i was 2, so I shouldn't need to steel from a little calf now i'm 21. It's cruel. They take the calf away at birth & impregnate the enslaved cow while she's still lactating.. it's painful. There is no reason on earth that a normal commercial farm would let a calf steal the milk from the humans who can profit from it. Even if it's hormone free/ grass fed.. remember cows milk is made to grow a 400-1600 lbs animal quick . What does that mean for us? Cows milk contains a natural sugar called lactose, which most people develop an intolerance to some degree by adulthood (if not at birth.) I'm not saying to become a vegetarian but there really is no need to consume another animals milk past infancy... more harm than good.
Look into alternatives like oat milk, rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk (don't worry, it's not psycho-active), soymilk (but they tend to add loads of sugar. look 4 low-carb), coconut milk (which has lauric acid which is beneficial & found in human milk. look 4 semi-skimmed it's quite fatty.)

You can make kefir out of either unpasteurized goat's milk or cow's milk, but you need kefir grains to do it.

You should try coconut water kefir, it is delicious.

You could logically deconstruct the reasoning for eating about any food and make it sound weird. (Why would anyone dig something out of the GROUND and eat it?) Milk is no less weird than animal meat, which I happily eat. I think it's a fine food source. And neither my husband nor I are lactose intolerant, so I think odds are our kids won't be either. However, this is beside the point, as my milk is purchased for a 2-year-old.

[Creepy-female]

That's so sad. Don't get me started on chickens..have you read the Omnivore's Dilemma?

I've been off milk for a while and it seems to help my digestion. I used to take lactose intolerance pills when I was a kid. I drink coconut milk now when I can afford it.

But I really like milk, cows milk, goats milk, raw milk..used to drink it instead of water growing up. I wrote a paper on it once..my research seys..

Marvin Harris, author of Good to Eat: Riddles of Food and Culture, “the Chinese and other eastern and Southeast Asia peoples…loathe it [milk] intensely” (Wiley, par. 16)

According to Andrea Wiley, anthropologist, “A review of studies published in the last 30 years indicates no clear effect of milk on growth in height.”
She continues, “Supplementation studies have not demonstrated significant increases in height among subjects supplement with milk (or calcium) compared to controls who received no supplement” (Wiley, par. 36)

from the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine comes the statement, “…greater milk consumption among children has be linked to weight gain, rather than weight loss, an effect driven by the calories in milk” (Wiley, par. 48)

In his book White Poison? The Social Consequences of Milk Consumption, Peter Atkins points out, “It was not until pasteurization and refrigeration became widespread by the early 20th century that the “white poison” could be transformed into a healthful food…”

Michael Pollen, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, challenges milk when he says, “In the United States, milk’s technological transformations remain largely hidden from the public, which prefers to see happy cows grazing in verdant pastures rather than a highly industrialized process that adds and subtracts milk’s ingredients to fit the present bill (Wiley, par. 42)

according to Andrew Wiley, “over 90 percent of U.S. citizens already ‘knew’ that milk was ‘good for them’ in some way but this knowledge did not necessarily make them want to drink it” (Wiley, par. 47)

It's like with socionics.

There are types.

For example: you have milk beneficiaries. You also have milk conflictors.

No you can't ^.^ there's actually nothing really dirty about soil.. it's where the fruit or vegatable gets it's nutrients from afterall. Consumption of humanely treated meat is fine & natural part of the food chain in my eyes, but the widespread consumption of their baby food isn't IMO.

[Slacker]

Milk has been consumed as adult food for thousands of years. I trust something used as food for thousands of years over most of what's available.

And yes, you can logically make anything sound odd. If it were intended for human consumption, it would be on the ground, not underground where you have to dig for it, not hidden in a hard shell that's difficult to open, or whatever. You chosing to believe your logic is better than any of that other logic is just a choice you've made and not a reflection on the value of the logic.

Yeah don't get me started on chickens either, i don't even want to say what goes on in battery farms. i'm consuming free range eggs.. so overpriced. I guess raw milk from goats preferably is o.k occasionally if you can get your hands on it. The white stuff is marketed as a healthfood & that belief is hammered into the modern consumer from early childhood.. thats the problem. But, yeah it does taste kinda good.

Thats not a significant amount of time in human evolution, and it's just wrong IMO.. Even if the majority aren't aware.

People haven't eaten most of what's out there for a significant amount of time in human evolution. And I understand that your opinion is that it's wrong, but I obviously disagree.

And after googling, I see I was wrong about how long milk has been consumed as food. Dairy animals have been domesticated since between 9000 and 8000 BC, so at least that long.

They ARE horribly overpriced I don't seek out eggs that much cuz I have a mild allergy to the yolk but when I do buy em it's like..a dozen for a dollar fifty or six organic ones for six dollars..? lol. I don't know, maybe it's unrealistic but I wish companies would use their dollars to benefit the health of the consumers, the animals under their care, and the health of the planet in lieu of the future instead of funding so much flipping advertising..surely the prices on ethically produced food would come down some once it wasn't such a RARE thing..

[Beautiful sky]

I passed by the stand with my dual cousin and she just held out her right hand and said "no" and kept walking LOL That's her way of saying "not gonna chance that...thank you very much!"

Also, at least one study has shown that people who spend money on organic food see themselves as doing something ethical and end up being morally lax in other areas of their lives. Do a search sometime on compensatory morality.

I have a natural aversion to advertising. In a society where we are constantly inundated with it, such a thing is natural. I'm surprised it works at all these days.

[Scapegrace]

We had a cow growing up and loved the milk.

I can't even drink the shit from the grocery.
