Raw Milk equals hard time. Soft drinks equals easy money.

Government control.

Aspartame is illegal in other country's

We get raw milk delivered, I'm lactose intolerant to the stuff you get in a store called milk. But we can take the cream off of the "real" milk we get and make, butter, yogurt, cream cheese, and other things as well. They filter all that cream out and make their own processed food products with it. Then want you to buy the left over junk they have after that. While they pay the dairy farmers hardly anything for the real thing themselves..

Interesting. What do you think about the growth hormones that cows are given ?

I think I don't eat them ;) We buy a cow every year and know exactly what it eats down to the day we process it. Same with our chickens and eggs. There isn't much that we eat down to the honey from our bee-hives that doesn't come from within a mile or two from our house. We have a green house and are actually thinking of making hydroponic tanks that you can raise fish in and feed your plants at the same time. If I eat something from Mcdonalds I feel sick literally, I realize it's not easy for anybody to just up and stop eating the junk they sell us. It's taken many years for my family to reach this point of self sustainability.

Nice we have Road Island Reds right now ;)

Ever drank raw milk? It's gross, it has puss floating around in it, it's a breeding ground for bacteria and it tastes like clay. That's why it's supposed to be pasteurized (like good ol' doctor Pasteur prescribed).

The EFSA has done extensive research on aspartame in an attempt to ban it but couldn't find enough evidence for its danger. The Brits claim it doesn't cause headaches or nausea, but that's because they're pushing a corporate agenda. Rubbish; That shit is just low-dose poison

I've had it at my Aunt's farm in Switzerland. Best consumed in 24 hours. Jying's comment about the health benefit of raw milk sums it up. Some people need it because of their intolerance to factory dairy. :-)

a relative worked at a dairy farm for a number of years. i can say the same thing. raw milk isn't going to kill you if you treat it right, and some people with lactose intolerance can actually drink it

Puss? Either the milk you were given was unfit (even for pasturization) or you are so unfamiliar with milks natural state that you are unaware that it naturally has globs of milkfat (cream, butter) floating in it. The milk we are used to, and buy at the store bears little resemblance to what naturally comes out of a cow.
I'm not advocating for, or against raw milk. I have never had the opportunity to try it. But the puss comment bothered me.

Everything is safe because the "experts" told us so...

The difference is Thalidomide was not tested well, and in fact Thalidomide (stil being used, btw) is one of the main reasons testing of new compounds is so stringent today. Imagining Aspartame is highly dangerous in the amounts found in food is the realm of tinfoil hat monarchs like wackadoodle Mercola.

It is not added to food, it is an herbicide, and in levels used is found harmless by studies. The scientific concerns about it are the same as with most herbicides and pesticides, that those exposed to large quantities repeatedly over the years (some farm workers, herbicide workers, etc.) do have increased cancer risk.

And it has nothing to do with aspartame.

To learn more about Roundup (glyphosate), start at the wiki page and go to the linked cites to learn more.

You might want to read that link you posted-- it's not about Roundup:
"Dow Agrosciences says its new GM product is based on a chemical that was once a component of the Vietnam war defoliant, Agent Orange."

It's about what they made to try and REPLACE Roundup.

No amount of corporate spin doctoring will change the fact that low grade poisons are being added to our food and water.

Science is science, no matter whether you agre with it or imagine coporate bias or not...no amount of conspiracy-theory tinfoil wackiness will change the scientific fact that aspartame has been found to cause essentially no harm unless one is allergic to it.

PS-- pretty much everything is a poison, it's the quantity that matters... if you don't believe this, go eat 6 ounces of salt, or drink 2 gallons of water.. but buy a funeral plot first

Studies that have been suppressed by the government say that in the long run aspartame can cause cancer later in life

Exactly

so true. btw a lot of comments on thismeme

This was my first big meme.

Front page?

Yes it was. :)
